• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Notre Dame Cathedral

I was there in 1981 on a bus trip. I was stationed in Germany at the time. All of Paris was just awesome to see. Such a shame this happened. Last I heard no one was hurt. Hope it stays that way.
 
That would be a great loss....hope they will be able to get it back to what it was....:pray:

French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault has pledged 100,000,000 euros for rebuilding Norte-Dame cathedral.

Luckily no loss of life.
 
As far as I can read these days it seems that the roof was in a sorry state, as befits roofs 800 years old and that's why they had begun their repair.
The lovers of the opera will remember that the Barcelona's Liceo Theater Liceo burned down and for 15 years was in repairs. Today it works again
but although it has tried to reproduce its original aspect, it will not be the same for those who knew it.
It is a pity that the health of these pieces of history is abandoned till there is not a remedy.
 
I've been glad to hear all of the discussion about rebuilding the Cathedral. There seems to have been some pretty impressive donations made toward the effort already. :thumbup:
How do the French citizens feel about the idea of rebuilding?

President Macron says they will re build. Its not the first time that N.D. in its history has been damaged - luckily a lot of priceless items were managed to be removed during the fire.
 
I am not Catholic, but I do appreciate the history, cultural significance and artistic value of such a structure. I also understand it has spiritual meaning to people so I offer my condolences to all of them.
