Anyone know what happened to the forum?

The forum seems dead. Too bad... That had all the historical info about how do to all the things in backtrader.

Unfortunately it was highjacked by spammers. I've tried to clean it, but it seems to be up hill battle. Those spammers seems to be automated and high volume.

Ok. I guess we can just use the backtrader2 issue tracker

I think the forum/community was one of the most important advantages of backtrader compared to other frameworks. I understand that fighting spam is really hard. Keeping these in mind, I believe that bringing a read-only version online is the best solution right now. Thoughts?

The problem is that no one has an admin access to the forum. So is not even possible to make the existing forum read only, assuming such option even exist.

I was thinking about downloading all the messages from the forum and create the alternative forum either on the same platform or different one, like google group

I would like to keep this thing going but that forum was key to learning. I have too much invested in backtrader to have it die. Please let others know if they can help. I'm not an ace programmer but I might be of some use

[neillbyrne]

Looks like the forum has gone dead again. Was up and working fine a couple of weeks ago :(

Since Backtrader seems dead, I had a look at Jesse. Relatively simpler to grok, but apparently built to only handle crypto.
