That could lead to no board at all. I can deal with the spam if that's the case, I'm just wondering if anybody is monitoring anymore. It used to be deleted, but now it just sits there.

I was just worried this particular board was going to pot. I may fire up the webcrawler anyway just in case they pull another disappearing KB trick. Does anybody still have the KB stored offline by any chance? Fri, 21 Mar 2008 22:35:54 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/objectarx-forum/uh-the-spam/m-p/2210952#M19527 Anonymous 2008-03-21T22:35:54Z
