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.

All the best.

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.

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.

Seeing as the text on this forum is only HTML it shouldn't take up that much space.
