Just wondering, what really happened? Why did the boards go down? where did the AI staff go? What happened to all the old posts (i know they are gone). I would be interested in a little history lesson.

    It seems that Repharduce, the company who owned the Cube, went out of business one day, and all of the old data was lost. MacNN just got around to setting up new boards for us recently on their own server.

    It was running on a G4 Cube before. That's all I know.

    As far as I know, what Fran said is pretty much correct.

    Yeah maybe.



    Anyway, due to the concentrated efforts of the fine new team (Rampage, Gorgonzola, AppleProphet, etc) they got a new server up, loaded a UBB onto it and now we have AppleInsider! Yay!

    Of course!



    How could I forget that wasted half-hour of my life! I'd rather watch a Sillicon Spin on the subject of "Who has the best router" than Futurama.
