Mhanun punha boltoy nashtar nako laav. Kaam zhalyavar kalel. Tu madhe tochan maru nakos.

@Haldilal basically what he said. Keep it inside for now.

Never thought black Vigo Scorpio would visit DFI owners

 

[Narasimh]

Can we use AWS cloud and put the threads data files in the S3 Buckets for now till we get a new forum ready. I can contribute towards the bills.

Ya'll Nibbiars One of the Secret Member has downloaded all the 2666 pages from DRDO thread. More Than 500 MegaBytes.

this section needs to be saved : history and culture

History & Culture

Information on Indian history pre-Independence and cultural, literary, religious and spiritual traditions

defenceforumindia.com

its size wont be that big

good stuff , hate to see it lost, because the orginal sources themselves have dissappeared

can someone find out how much the download size of that section will be ?

rest of the stuff other than space , in my opinion dont think is that important

 

[Craigs]

What a gut punch. Took a few hours to digest the news and post this message. All things sadly come to an end. The best things come to end first.

Is there any legal issues involved of scraping this website without owner's permission?

 

[vishnugupt]

By the way, How much will it cost to buy DFI ?? What is operation cost?

I'm not buying, just asking

 

[Super Flanker]

Ya'll Nibbiars Talks happened, will see how the results are, but just in case, Alphas Defence might become the new owners of the Forum.

It seems you are right. I think we may be getting somewhere. My issue with the forum shutting down is not the fact that I will never be able to post again but rather the fact that we will lose so much valuable data and information that members over the years have taken a lot of trouble to write & post. Irrespective, all I can do is pray from my side for DFI to live on, let's hope for the best and work towards it.

It took me a while to digest what happened. I haven't talked much in DFI, but this was one of the places that I daily checked and followed and became a part of my life for a while now. It's sad that good things are coming to an end

What about defence.in, seems pretty new but promising. Is it trusted? has anyone had any experience with it.

Apparently, it is owned by a Paki it seems.

Apparently, it is owned by a Paki it seems.

Checked on https://whois.registry.in, it seems owned by someone from Madhya Pradesh, India.
Also hosting IP address of the site is from Bengaluru data center of Digital Ocean.

Thanks to the owner & admins of the forum. 
Did good job all these years.

You won't survive there. You'd either get bored or banned

Not if all of us mass migrate but yeah, I wouldn't wanna take my chances there if I could help it.

Fuck shit I can do that as well will try

 

[Hari Sud]

There is only one choice left and that is to migrate en-masse to other forums. keep the same name and other symbols and begin meeting there. In the meantime we should thank DFI for bringing us all together.

Suggest website/forum names for migration. Let us all of us go there.
