For what it's worth, any "post collecting" that happens for Grindaels posts or any other posts, I highly recommend keeping offline copies available, as I'm not optimistic about saving the database of this site at this time.
What is it going to take to fix this board? Shades can’t do it all. What is needed?

Also, I will look into the fundraising issue.

Yes I mentioned keeping back up copies for just that reason.

Gad suggested prior that the conversation should take place in Paradise where he posted this thread. http://mormondiscussions.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=53641

If there is a way to re-open the fundraiser, I think there's plenty here who would contribute.

So, let's make some back up copies. Who can do that?

I think there is a way of doing it, but I am not the person who is able.

Grindael reached out to me several times on Facebook and I regret never getting back with him.

This one really hurts.

If you can tell me how to do that, I can do it for his Paradise writings. The only way I can think of is to store them on my own computer or portable hard drive or USB stick. Or I suppose they could be stored on the temporary board that we have?

Not very tech savvy. Open to suggestions!

I have made an inquiry and I am waiting for an answer. It shouldn’t be long.

I'll miss Gindael. Was there a funeral or obituary? I don't even know his earthly name.
