Hey Cakewalk team who still read this forum
A few people have started their own forum to continue on after this one is gone. Which is fine for everyone who wants to still stick together. However, there's a lot of great info here that will be lost forever.
My proposal is this. Once the forum goes dark if someone could backup the database and let me have it I will gladly setup a new forum and host it so this forum can live on.
It would be a real shame to lose all of this too.

I agree which is why I'm not going away from this Forum just yet! I think some people are overreacting because while development has been ceased, no one has said that the company is dead just yet so we don't know what support is going to be offered going forward which could include bug-fixes. However, before rolling updates we all used Sonar for months on end, 6 plus months actually before updates were released and because of an old project which I used v8.5 on, I was able to run this until a couple of years go before I started getting random crashes due to some run-time library issue so my plan is to stick with Sonar at least until Windows 7 goes EOL in Jan 2020 which is 2 years away! At that point, as I may have to build a new studio PC, I'll reassess my requirements then but I'm not panic buying and jumping ship to another DAW just now thanks. :-)

YES PLEASE!! To lose the information contained in the thousands of threads here would be an absolute travesty. I would say 60+% of what I know about recording in general, and 98+% of what I know about recording with Sonar, I learned from this forum.

HI:)
I can remember, there is Software which can download a whole website....

That kind of web downloader can grab certain files from web pages, but you can't use them to install the forum software or download the database. That would be a huge security hole if it was that easy. Hopefully the Cakewalk guys will see this and seriously consider it.

This software can down load probably the whole forum if you have the disc space. https://www.httrack.com/ Seeing as the text on this forum is only HTML it shouldn't take up that much space.

I use that software. It used to be a lot better than it is now. However, I'm not interested in downloading 1000's of html pages, but I would like to keep this forum alive to be able to search for specific topics and also allow people to ask questions... Carry on as normal basically.

Im sorry, I thought in your OP you were asking for someone to back up the database (this forum). There's your tool to back up the database. If your looking to join another Cakewalk forum there is already 2 large ones just started up from users of this site. Google is your friend. Best regards Chuck

Cake/Gib to hand over the database with user's info in it would rais all sorts of privacy/legal issues. I have developed a few forum systems in the past. If I could find the time, I might set something up to crawl the forums and harvest all the publicly available data i.e. threads, posts user, names etc. and make it searchable but no personal user data/accounts. You would have to re-register to the system I built to interact with that. However, it's probably a pointless exercise anyway as I suspect, whether we admit it or not, we will all gradually lose interest in Sonor and the forum will gradually become a graveyard. Or the forum may stay here for ages. There is WayBackMachine, but all the forum posts won't be on there. https://web.archive.org/web/*/cakewalk.com
Splat, Win 10 64bit and all sorts of musical odds and sods collected over the years, but still missing a lot of my old analogue stuff I sold off years ago.

No, I'm not looking for another forum, but to simply keep this one going. Perhaps the head honchos at Cakewalk will allow me to have this forums SQL database so I can import it to a fresh forum install. Everyone already a member here will have the same access. The only difference would the domain name, which I would buy and host on my own server. httrack can't download a SQL database. That would require a username and password to access the SQL server. If it were that easy I'd imagine there would be a lot of problems for many sites.
