I thought TNNF was going to remain accessible, if read-only, for a while. Today I finally decided I should try to retrieve some of the (mainly tax-related) information I'd posted on TNNF as I thought it might be of use next year. However, I've now discovered there is nothing at all in TNNF anymore. The Internet Archive hasn't any copies of TNNF apart from the one or two pages from 2019 and no working links. However, much of TNNF is currently available in the Google Search and the Bing Search article caches So, as an example, a site search in Bing for site:www.newfrenchforum.com elsie tax gives a hit: Paypal account - tax declaration - The New French Forum www.newfrenchforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12939 ▼Clicking on the ▼ gives a pop-up Cached and clicking on that pop-up gives the original TNNF page The results in Google Search are similar; the format is different but there is still a ▼ on the first line of (most) results which gives access to the cache of the original messages. With a little bit of search query fiddling it is possible to retrieve multipage discussions.

Elsie, I also got the impression that TNNF would go into "locked" mode for several weeks or months. But yesterday came quite suddenly. I managed to copy most of the French electrical code questions and answers. But there were so many interesting questions and answers.....

That v12mike guy should have a copy of the site somewhere for backup.

Elsie, even if you can contact him, why this emergency stop of TNFF? There must have been very compelling reasons for shutting down that forum. There will be a back-up copy somewhere, of course, but chances of resurrecting the content of TNFF, my guess: less than 0.1 %.

As I understood it, RA, AtS and mysty decided to stop because they were fed up with their nights and a lot of their days being taken up with appeasing and pleasing people. Knowing that they'd chosen a particular date for the final day, I decided to create this life raft the day before.

FFS, quoting a Frenchman with the following words "Les choses étant ce qu'elles sont" we'll have to accept it, for the reasons given. Freezing a forum, locking it, could have been another option. No more "appeasing and pleasing people".

Just tried but sadly although the site comes up there is nothing to be able to copy and paste. Maybe I'm just too early
