Non-HTLAL is too good to let die.

Thank you. Unfortunately HTLAL is also too good to let die.

This thread gave me an idea to post in the You know you're a language nerd when... thread.

Thank you. Unfortunately HTLAL is also too good to let die.

That's true, but unfortunately we have no control over its future.
What you can do now:
-link to old threads, especially if you have access to the premium search features. summarize them here.
-create personal backups; rewrite your own posts and share them as static content for the new site.
-contribute to the wikia. seek out alternative links, like threads on the new forum or members' links to their blog posts etc.
-if you have the patience, you can even attempt to get in touch with FX - just please be polite and ethical about it. contact the mods if in doubt. read some previous discussions in the senior members subforum.

(the suggestions are my own, I've not discussed this explicitly with other mods)

contribute to the wikia.

Specific ideas:

• I've started a HTLAL problems page. please be neutral and respectful. hopefully we can post this on HTLAL as "Read before you sign up".
• Stuff in the collaborative writing subforum, for example the common vocabulary debates.
