"PA forum will be closing down"
Russ:
if we could save the site that would be amazing, this place has been my teacher and my creative outlet for almost a quarter of my life. it would suck to lose it.
Aaron1726:
I'm willing to help keep things going. I've learned so much here in my short time as a member. I really hope we can keep it alive.

yup, I meant that I never used it.
I've used other CMS so I expect it to be similar in many functionalities

lists the admins, presumably with backup priviliges but maybe not with the expertise,
or were you refering to backup images of the server?

"simple machines" has a built in feature that let administrators do a database backup
Unfortunately it has known bugs and it's not reliable.
To do a backup we need access to the host cPanel (or whatever database management software it provides) and have Ftp access to save all the media (images, documents...).
These information are usually kept secret by the owner of the site and maybe by a trusted administrator/webmaster because with these you can completely wipe out the site.
As far as my involvement I'm still trying to decide
I'd really like to see if someone who personally knows Monroe chimes in and can answer the above basic questions
Marc St Louis:
Unfortunately I know next to nothing about servers but I think amateurhour has some knowledge about the PA forum but he hasn't been on for nearly a month

I frequent this sight more than once a day, and this is sad news. I hope that it can survive. Their is a world of bow building knowledge on this forum that is help full for any one interested in making wood bows.
