Morning, hi again to everyone. My username on the Pherotruth vs1 forum was "Love In Spain".
I understand that the old hosting is offline. Perhaps if anyone has a contact for Gladen, he could redirect the DNS for pherotruth.com to pherotruth.net, so that some of the original users can find this site?
Anyway, happy NY!
Hi Love in Spain. I remember you from other forum. Are you sure Gladen has the domain name? So what about Mark? Isn't Mark the owner of old forum? I read on reddit that Mark has passed away. Anyone from his family could just contact the hosting company to recover all the old posts. It will be a big loss if they act late.
Spanish Fly! I remember you. Too bad I can't remember my old name but hopefully I will soon.

I'm not sure who now owns the domain. It was updated in May 2023, paid up to April 2025, and the "Who Is" is locked into privacy mode.
It would be very sad if it is true that Mark is no longer with us. Perhaps someone has more information?

Mark unfortunately passed away on May 2023, his passing was very low profile. Only one who knew about it at the time was Mark's family, and SteveO. SteveO mentioned on DiscoverXS that Mark called him in the hospital, saying that he is sick but should expect to recover in about a week, tragically, he didn't, and passed away. Because no one on the old forum knew about this, we had the old forum until Sept 26th, 2023, then it went down, this is when Gladen tried to call/email/text Mark, but you know, Mark is long gone by that time. Gladen later found that tomb stone page.
It is almost impossible to recover the old forum as Mark had all the files stored in his own server, I'm sure the files still exists on the hard drive of the server, but without being online, no one will be able to access unless they go find the server in the physical location.
There are two ways to read posts on the old forum
1. Use Wayback Machine, and put the thread link from the old forum into Wayback Machine, and fingers crossed that it was archived. Home page of the old forum was archived up until Jun 2023, so if a thread is made after that date, it is gone. BUT.......
2. I found an RSS page, this page had ALL of old PT's first post of a thread published as an article, from the very first thread opened sometime around 2011-2012, to the very last thread on Sept 26th, 2023. So I guess when Mark was creating the old forum, he turned on some sort of RSS publishing function, that will publish articles in real time when someone makes a thread. This is not organized by date, but organized by the order of threads being created.

You could combine the first and second method and find archived threads using Wayback Machine, the RSS page does have the original link of each thread listed

Well, let's be TECHNICALLY accurate. I had started the work on the forums in addition to providing the hosting. Tracer and I chatted on DXS and he volunteered to perform some of the heavy lifting as I was recovering from some surgery. So, while we both collaborated I had started the behind the scenes work along with acquiring the domain name. Tracer also shares admin duties.
Hence, there's the current history of PheroTruth.net ... at least as of this post.

My mistake, it is both TracerX and Johnny Fever's effort to start PT 2.0 ;D
