Archive and keep alive E30tech
Donation protected
E30tech has been going down very often and for months at a time. Chris has been unresponsive to everyone who tries to contact him (If you have his info, please let us know). In an attempt to keep the information capture on this forum alive, we have started this gofundme.
All we need is ~$100 to pay for the software to screen scrape E30tech.com and host it externally to keep the data free for everyone.
The additional funds will be used towards recreating the forum as closely as possible and maintaining it for future users.
The one caveat is that without E30tech's database, this new forum will only be a separate forum and cannot pick up where E30tech left off (EG posting on old threads or maintaining your old username). It will be a new forum, mostly from scratch.
**The full amount isn't necessary. Only about $200 is needed to get the base minimum up and running. But every penny will be used to pay for the site or giving back to the E30 community in some way
Suggestions for the archive URL welcome.
