Website Migration Update

I moved the website to a new host, which I think will be more tolerant of the content this website hosts. Nevertheless, I do want to take a moment to remind everyone that the stories and content posted here MUST follow website rules, as it it not only my policy, but it is the policy of the hosts that permit our website to run on their servers. We WILL continue to enforce the rules, especially critical rules that, if broken, put this sites livelihood in jeapordy.
*CALLING FOR MORE PARTICIPATION*

JUST A SMALL ANNOUNCEMENT TO REMIND EVERYONE (GUESTS AND REGISTERED USERS ALIKE) THAT THIS FORUM IS BUILT AROUND USER PARTICIPATION AND PUBLIC INTERACTIONS. IF YOU SEE A THREAD YOU LIKE, PARTICIPATE! IF YOU ENJOYED READING A STORY, POST A COMMENT TO LET THE AUTHOR KNOW! TAKING A FEW EXTRA SECONDS TO LET AN AUTHOR KNOW YOU ENJOYED HIS OR HER WORK IS THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE THAT MORE SIMILAR STORIES ARE POSTED. KEEPING THE COMMUNITY ALIVE IS A GROUP EFFORT. LET'S ALL MAKE AN EFFORT TO PARTICIPATE.

Hey there!

This site has accompanied me for many years. Though I am much less present nowadays that I have a partner and more life stuff going on, coming back is still sentimental.
I almost thought the site was dead because I was not aware of the move and only rediscovered the new domain by accident!
Regardless of their policies, the hoster should have allowed you to transfer the domain with an auth code so you can put a redirect and continue using the domain.
Anyways, here we are.

I came here because things can change, people can move on - but the content of this forum is worth preservation.
Is it possible to provide some kind of export that I could archive locally?

Going further, I do some hosting professionally on the side and could see if we could provide some resources as well - question is what you even run on that you need a hoster? Just renting a VM would be the most neutral option I think, provides of VMs are usually not concerned about the contents of what's hosted there.

And when it comes to the encoding stuff - this should be a quick database query to fix.
Asking each author to fix their posts individually, and especially the suggestion with ChatGPT, seems not very ideal - it can work but there are much more reliable approaches.
