Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

It'd also be more secure, multiple copies of each could be made and stored in different locations rather than piss away another 300k to build another building.

ACTRESS Saoirse Ronan has been transported back in time to appear in some of the best-loved Irish films from down the years.
The time travel -- with the help of some digital special effects -- was done to promote the Irish Film Institute Archive Preservation Fund yesterday.
The fund was set up to raise €300,000 to ensure the storage and preservation of historically important Irish films.
...
The IFI stores 27,000 cans of film and 10,000 broadcast tapes in climate-controlled surroundings.
The collection represents every decade since the first Irish cinema opened in 1909, with the oldest feature film preserved being 'Lad from Old Ireland' dating from 1910.
However, the space in the IFI stores has reached capacity and the institute needs to raise €300,000 to build an Irish Film Archives Preservation and Research Centre to protect film collections at risk of deterioration if not stored properly.0

Knowing Ireland it would probably cost €500,000 to do what you propose (scanning the movies) as a friend of a friend of one of the stakeholders would be hired to do it.0 -
