old Tektronix forum (https://forum.tek.com/) has been dead

[squadchannel]

Now(Dec/12/2024), try to access the old Tek forum(phpBB based, forum.tek.com), will be redirected to totally useless new TekTalk.
according to WaybackMachine, it appears to remain as of July; it has already changed as of October.

I should have backed up.
What did you do, Tek? WHYYYYYYY

What a pain. Back when they started threatening to "upgrade" and close the old site, I had exchanged a few emails with one of their online-community-managers or whatever, arguing to keep the old site around, at least as a read-only archive. I will contact them again , I recommend multiple people do the same. Hopefully they didn't perma-delete everything yet.

I had also tried real hard to wget / curl / scrape the old forum, but they had very aggressive clownflare settings that kept denying everything. Wasted a bunch of time for no result.
