As I was packing up a bunch of old CDs I came across two that are labeled P15-D24.com Forum Archives and Pilot-house.com Forum Archives.  CD 1 is P15-D24 forums from 4/00 to 12/04.  CD 2 is P15-D24.com 1/05 to 10/06 and the Pilot-house.com forums from 5/02 to 10/06.

 

They are labeled Version 2.0 Released Feb 1, 2007  Copyright GTK 1999-2007

 

Would these be of any help in recovering Pilot-house.com archives?

I believe the DPETCA website and pilot-house.com are two separate things, with DPETCA having a collection of files and pilot-house.com being an interactive forum with fewer files.

 

I was able to make contact with Bob Koch and he sent me the files that populated the DPETCA website back in July '23.  However, these files are not organized in a manner that would allow me to do a quick transfer onto this site.  A further delay was a hardware issue with my computer under warranty that took weeks to resolve.  On top of that, life priorities have further delayed finishing moving these files, such as dealing with chores, elderly neighbors, career demands, and severe weather.

 

I was able to rename all of the gallery files so they could be searchable and uploaded them a few weeks ago..these files were originally named in a numerical format that was easier to organize for the website, so there were a LOT of files named 001 and so forth.  I have also been auditing what has already been uploaded in the archives here so as to not duplicate files.  Eventually I will get the files organized in groups so that they will be easier to locate.

 

Moving this much data in an organized manner is tedious and time consuming.  Getting in a hurry leads to sloppy database management that is annoying to look at and frustrating to deal with, so I'd rather deal with the insulting criticisms now that I've already received than deal with the mess that would be produced if the data isn't stored properly...I have had to clean up after others' incompetence and that was an extended stabbing headache each time 💥

 

As we had a dusting of snow yesterday, I shuffled past the John Deere and reminded myself of the laundry list of repairs that it requires before spring...them yards are gonna need mowing in 10 weeks or so 🌞
