Just dosai with mulagai podi. Arachavita sambar, it is more than two years since I tasted. No restaurant here sells it. There are lot of dishes that is only made at home, impossible to find it outside.

We are still discussing/working with new owners but it is taking too much of time and I lost patience. We have a separate WA group with RRK, Boca and few admins from the new owner's company.

I will keep pushing for status update and see if we can recover db from that board to some place or here (if space is available).

I think except attachment, rest of forum migration ( posts, topics, users etc) would be possible as long the forum database is not corrupt. If the existing owner wants to migrate it to phpBB ( open source forum software ), it should be possible (based on fact it was version the vBulletin)

However I think it needs to have access to functional forurm.

Hmm, what transpired to this situation. Thought people who got married before Y2K at least can expect home cooked Archavita
Sambar. The millennial and GEN-Z may struggle to get home cooked…what’s going on

Need to have a boomer at home to get this cooked at home - Arachvita Sambar is way beyond Gen X's capability and patience!

For the past few years our food intake has gone down by 50%. Archavita Sambar is lot of work if it is cooked with small onions. Mrs says I eat few spoons of sambar and RoI is not worth the effort.

Would you be interested in joining the WA group to recover the old forum? Remember you will lose your anonymity. May be you can suggest something to the admins to bring back the old forum.
