To find the 'old' MTFCA site (Back thru 2005)

The old site is still accessible, and will hopefully remain. There is much shared knowledge and information about our T's that is available. (I know I often have referenced back and saved the posts....) We're obviously 'on' the new site, but this only includes access back through 2018. If you're searching for a post from prior years, (2005 - 2017), the site URL/link is http://mtfca.com/. Since the purpose is for reference, there shouldn't be any need to 'sign-in', and soon will not work anyway.
Perhaps there will be improvements, but this at least works for now.

The saved post will only be good as long as it is still up. If the old site records are removed, it would be like the saved links to the International site that I had, once it was taken down they were gone. To save any links, the files would need to copied and saved to a file on your computer. That would also mean you could no longer just post a link, you would have to post the whole file to any posting after that. That would be a great loss, not only in material, but also from people that are no longer with us.

One subtlety about the early year forum - It initially looks like 2006 and 2007 are missing, but it turns out that the one listed as 2005 actually covers 2005 through the end of 2007.

I am currently working on the history of the forum as we make this change to the new one.

Mark is correct and there are some of the years 2005 2006 2007 in there, they must have had a few crashes in the early years.

Stan Howe mentioned in one of his posts that there was another forum in 1999, what that was I don't know.

We are planning on keeping the old forum posts into the future and they will remain on the web for a long time.

I also have everything backed up in several places so we will not lose them.

-Hey, Chris!-
Once again, our 'hats off' to you, as well as many well-deserved Thank You's! I'm sure we will all feel better knowing those prior bits of knowledge will still be available.

Yes there were big crashes and a switch over back then and lot of stuff was lost. And thank you Chris! :P
