I suspect that the problem may have come about due to the fact that their library hasn't been archived since 2009 so that when you want to access Maintenance & Repair all 12481 posts are downloaded which takes an awfully long time. This may be why their hosting company are complaining.
The Archives from 2004 to 2009 are still available on wayback machine.

We will be doing our best to host Classic Camera Repair Forum as part of RFF.
How that will be done remains to be seen, as there are software and compatibility issues which have to be overcome.
However with luck it should be sorted out in several weeks.

I hope it stays alive as it helped me keep my Pentax MX alive. Really a useful place when you need it.

Well done Mr Gandy, the knowledge contained on that forum was second to none.
Stephen,
thank you for that. I personally believe it can only add to the value of the site for members and visitors. It's a great initiative.
Cheers,

There are indeed problems into importing CCR into RFF's software.
For the time being, CCR in archive form (no posting) can be found here

Please lets other CCR members know.
If you know anyone who has had experience importing Discusware software into VB Bulletin, please PM me.

Way cool, Stephen! Thanks, good luck on the migration, that it may work out soon.
Will the CCR archives have a link in the left hand menu on the front page, for easy access?
Maybe an announcement in the RFF news section too, so that it surfaces on the front page for the next few weeks? EDIT: Belay that, it's already up!
Meanwhile, I suggest we all link to topics in the archives whenever a repair question arises that was also addressed in the CCR forums!

KYPHOTO - The Classic Camera Repair Forum is back up and running if anyone is interested.
The site has been restored with Henry Taber’s integrity in mind. Still has that classic look.

Can't think how many years its been since members there talked me through (offline) replacement of a Yashica Pad of Death after posting pleas for help.
No idea what my original username had been - that was all several computers ago - but the membership was the most non-judgmental and generous I'd ever found on the 'Net. Long may it wave.

I think Stephen deserves all our thanks for hosting the archives over several years.
