In the Yuku Help [sic] Forums a loyal ezboarder has quoted the infamous 3 June 2005 message by Labatt - just after they’d wiped out a year’s posts and mysteriously ‘lost’ all the claimed backups we were paying for - where he says that the new community software (or Yuku as it’s since been revealed) will allow community backups by the board owners themselves in addition to the famed ezboard ones.

As there has been silence from ezboard on this feature ever since, she asks if that will still happen (it is a pretty categorical statement by Labatt, after all, and let’s not forget he also mentioned backups along with advertising revenue sharing at DEMOfall).

The reply from jennifer - my old mate at ezboard - was that she has no idea (as usual) but she asked Labatt to address this point in his next blog update.

We’ll see…
