I had to log in again to reply to this message even though it supposedly remembered me.

It's nice to have the seperate videokarma. Thanks!

I would rather have the old situation with all those 3 weeks of posts
intact than the current one. I hope everyone realizes that humans
do spend time writing these contributions.

I'm reserving judgment until I've had a chance to get used to the new site for a while. I didn't see this coming (probably my fault since I've only been frequenting the vintage TV forums on AK lately) and I don't know the reasons for the change.

It would have been nice to archive/read-only the old TV posts on AK for a little while at least. They appear to be all gone and the link on there to this place doesn't work either.

Can anyone offer any insight as to the rationale for the move?

Some of the info you wanted was touched on in this post http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...=1#post3018537

The lack of ability to reach the TV member due to their not wanting to venture in to the Audio or News forums is one of many reasons the site was split up.

Believe me your going to like this site much more since you will not have to abide by the long list of AK rules here such as the ability to sell your hobbyist items in the forums.

As for the missing posts there is little we can do to bring them over here. Not as many threads are gone as you think. Feel free to repost them over here if you like.

The problems is not that the missing posts/threads are unavailable here, it
is that they are also gone from Audiokarma, so in practice they are not
available at all. I don't mind that much, but as a person who posted
roughly equal amounts of material in audio and 'video', I am a bit
disappointed and the advantages to me are near zero. Regards.

Every TV and radio post ever made between 2002 and aug 13th of 2009 is right here on this site. The amount of posts that are missing is probably less then 50.

I am sorry you feel the way you do but this is the new home for these forums.

Thanks for the info. I'd put that figure at more like 500. Way more than 50 just from me

I'm curious, why the mid August cutoff ? I'm a web developer by profession and I don't see why you couldn't have copied over all the content or at least disabled posting during the transition period.

I'm going to patch up a couple of my threads from the archive, but unfortunately I can't include the thoughtful, insightful, and informative comments made by other members.

Here's the simple answer to your question.

Rule number 1: The Boss is right.

Rule number 2: In case the Boss is wrong, apply Rule number 1.

Some people decided this splitup was good, they had the power
to implement it, therefore it was implemented.

So your saying we lost 500 posts in 4 weeks time ? That would mean we lost 3 % of all posts in the TV forums.

It took that long because I had to delete over 2.4 million audio posts from the data base. Sorry if thats not quick enough for you but I run several sites and that was with me working on it night and day ignoring the other 5 sites I should have been working on.

Look I don't mean to sound condescending but you are way over stating how many posts were lost.
