EA shut Westwood down and Ted Morris (VirtualTed) of Westwood asked the community to "apply" to take over hosting the official forums (the catch: he couldn't give away the database so everyone would have to re-register)

Just thought I would mention that although Virtual Ted could not officially give us the old forum database, we used an "alternate method" to aquire all of the old posts part of the database, so, while the actual user registrations are gone for good, we do still have all of the old post data. When this new forum was created, some of you may recall that we merged in the old posts of several forums like the mod forum. The general forum was not merged in though, because well it was rather large and no info was there that was really "worth saving" like the mod forum posts were.
Perhaps some time when we are bored we can reformat the old forum posts and put them online so they can be viewed or searched, for prosperity sake. Then again there is always http://www.archive.org
