@plutomaniac
Can you restore the thread "XP/W2k3 x86 on Modern Hardware". Thank you.

There was so much work and content.
(ACPI and drivers ports from recent windows,
timer fix,
SSDs work-arounds,
XP 64 bits testing...)

This thread was the best on the internet about making Windows XP work on recent hardware.

8k posts, 527k views.
https://web.archive.org/web/202111130956...-XP-Server.html

The size of the thread is not a problem for anyone (not for xobor, not for the users),
and it's something needed (a kind of chat is needed somewhere).

---------------------------------------

I spent a lot of hours reading the thread and i never saw any moderation asked, informed or done.

If Windows XP requires a signature for a dll
then it's needed to sign it, i don't see any problem with that.

All fixes are correctly marked with their author here
or in the integral edition (https://www.zone94.com/downloads/operati...ntegral-edition).

---------------------------------------

For a new Hetzner vps and the forum database migration i can do it
(ask xobor the db then migrate to phpBB or vBulletin or another forum software),
i'm sure other people can also do it.

If the problem you have is paying 6 euros each month for this forum
(that is 100% managed by xobor : hetzner vps, php forum, database)
then people can help or pay instead of you.

As the forum is 100% managed by xobor you just have to pay each month + for the domain each year for example, that's it,
Fernando and other moderators do the moderation well.

To me it's obvious that you should fight to keep this forum.

But you just deleted the best thread on the internet about making Win XP run on recent hardware, with 527k views,
and want to close the whole forum, just like that.

@Bumpy

Nice idea.
The only thing that is missed,
is the good will from @plutomaniac

When I see answers from admins,
and some great posts with : "Fernando and plutomaniac have thanked for this useful post"...
i think more and more that they will just delete the forum, they don't want to save it or help creating a new one.

@Bumpy

You are right.
For some reasons, admins want to go away from here as soon as possible.
No interest from their side, for to save anything.
Nice words from their side means nothing.
Only real doing counts
