Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 02, 2025, 07:43:14 PMWittenberg is an amazing tool that works really well, and I am very grateful to our hardworking tech folks who have made it possible. (Do I remember right that Etho set it up?)

I don't know what I would want it to do that it doesn't already do.

The old proboards still exists for the time being and there were efforts to archive the info going on at one point as a backup. Should there be the opportunity either here or in future Witt versions to merge that info it would be wonderful. Also the somewhat shorter term social media platform.

That said, after the switch a certain number of previous users decided not to learn a new interface and have have not landed here even after a number of years - perhaps some are using the discord or other systems but many just only are contactable by email.

As far as I know, AD and I were able to archive the whole of the ProBoards Witt.

ProBoards was still as perfectly functional as it had always been, but we were afraid of ProBoards starting to hold our data hostage in some way (paywall, etc.) or going out of business, taking the forum down forever.

Yes, I need to get my Witt archives put up somewhere.

You can share with me. I'm digitally archiving Talossan stuff.

@Danihel Txechescu @GV

Do we have a site where Talossans can peruse our public archives? It would be cool, if we don't already, to have a National Archives site. I was thinking of this last night since the government records of the 58th Cosa will be publicly available in a few years.

I ultimately just used httrack to mirror it, and then zipped the result.

Do not call it the "National Archives". The term "National Archives" is strict and denotes solely the Talossan archives that continue to be withheld from the Kingdom by Robert Ben Madison, who may well have destroyed them by now out of spite (I don't think so, but can't rule that out).

You seem to have answered a question that wasn't asked, GV...so we do not have a national archives?

Correct, and so long as the archives held by Ben are not in our hands, we never will.

In the late 2000s sometime around the start of John's reign, the term "Royal Archives" came into vogue and was codified into law.

It's actually amazing how much we do have. Ben on my first haxh in 2002 xeroxed a bunch of stuff, and I bought JJ's archives from him at about that time.

Thank you. Is there a link or site where the public can access the materials we do have?

I don't know, and I will not be able to answer this question definitively until at least next week after I move into my new apartment (assuming move day is this Sat.).

Keep. Reminding. Me.

GV is notorious for forgetting Talossan projects.

Completely understandable. Have a quick and relatively pain-free move, GV. I will check in later after you've settled in.
