Zip, nada, nothing there any more.
Some lame excuse (or lie) about their new software not supporting the forums, which strikes me as a load of bullshyt. If they were all that bothered about the forums, they'd have made sure they were supported.
One thing's for sure, I'll never be subscribing to AP. Not that I was, anyway.

I noticed this a few day ago.

It's not even that the past forum topics and content have been archived for access on a different server; it simply seems to have been removed completely.

That's a major messed up way of going about things.

I've used that occasionally, but it seems very flakey here, gets you to the forum top level for some dates, but the actual posts seem inaccessible... Sad

In any case, I mostly used this forum indirectly by finding relevant post through a Google search; nothing from the AP forum seems to come up anymore.
