MacRumors Guides

[Dave Braine]

I've tried to post a link to the MacRumors Guide on viruses and security recently, on another forum, but the link doesn't work.

Has it been moved?

This is the original link:

Those Wiki-style guides were discontinued a number of years ago.

It would be nice if they could be brought back. I know @Huntn would appreciate it, too.

Thanks. Any particular reason why?

 

[WildCowboy]

As I recall, the Wiki software we were on was severely outdated and it was going to be extremely difficult to get things into a state where we could get it updated. They weren't particularly heavily used, and also as part of our forum redesign and migration from vBulletin to XenForo we kind of didn't have a great place to feature them, so the decision was made to axe them.

 

[Dave Braine]

OK, thanks.

It would be great if we could capture the content from those guides and post it, so people would still have access to the information.

 

[S.B.G]

@WildCowboy Are they still available for the purpose as @GGJstudios points out?

 

[WildCowboy]

I don't believe they're directly available. Archive.org grabbed versions of a lot of them though.
