Thanks for that tip on layout. SO much better.

TKO-100, the admin from KOTCT has emailed me and offered to take over this forum. We'll work through the logistics of doing so and keep you updated. There will most likely be a few days where it's unavailable but hopefully it will be back on a new server! I'll keep you updated.

WavyTwenty · August 18, 2026, 07:52:02 AM

Oh, wohoo, that's a great result!

That's good news Mark. I have known Terry for about 20 years. The forum will be in safe hands.

Hi everyone! I'm Terry Olds and I administrate the KOTCT forum. I started our forum with Terry Adams (Twoshadows) and when he abandoned the site Barry Murray (Humpybong) and myself resurrected it.

I have spoken to markn about assuming custody of the ACF and he did agree. I just need access to his domain registrar to initiate the transfer of that. markn will be sending me the site downloads and image files download to place in your new home.

As KOTCT became more complicated, I knew I needed help and through shear luck I stumbled upon a SMF whiz. He goes by Krash and he has been a true savior to the site. During this change, he will be managing the bulk of "back door" processes because he is EXTREMELY knowledgeable in coding, processes and hosting.

I do and have been fortunate enough to engage with many of you. Rest assured, your forum will remain the same forum all of you are familiar with. You will log in same and at the same address in your browsers. Be patient with Mark as well, he has his hands full with his store.

Cheers to all my new mates!

Thank you Terry, and Sir Krash.

KOTCT will be celebrating our 19th anniversary in October!

The transfer process has started. There will be some downtime in the next week or two but I am sure Terry will have it up and running quickly.

Triggersmob · August 20, 2026, 06:11:15 PM

Thanks again Mark.

Woo hoo, glad to see this forum is not folding, even though I signed up on Knights of the Old Republic, err Coin Table.
There is life in the old girl yet.

Hopefully we can operate as sister sites. Members from here can join over at KOTCT to post their non-Australian coins. There is an Aussie section on KOTCT too though. In fact when KOTCT was first set up, it was a prerequisite that members had to own an Aussie coins. Any new member that didn't was promptly supplied one by Aussie members. With the new set up, there may be new link tabs on each site, to make it quicker to move across the the other site.

That is sad news, I would consider it, but I have an issue with dealing with Americans. I don't want to sponsor any form of Trumpanomics, hopefully someone will step up.

I don't want this full of ads like "You have definitely won an x Box" and "Play Evony" and it shows a woman with giant gabanzos and crap like "Thai singles want to meet you" and "Bless Okereke has $3 miilion US Dolla for you".
