Resurrecting Celestialpearldanio.com

Almost 20 years ago now, I became involved on the celestialpearldanio.com forum.  CPD’s were new to the hobby and a very hot topic.  The forum had a wide variety of members and amassed some very good info about the fish.

As the newness wore off, the original owner of the forum decided he wasn’t interested in keeping it going. I was fortunate enough to take over the website at that time.

Every thing went great for several years, but software updates started causing issues with the site. At the same time on the home front family issues made it impossible for me to devote the time to properly fix the many problems. At sometime in 2014 the site became unusable.

As the years passed I would often regret that the posts on the old forum were not available to hobbyists interested in keeping Celestial Pearl Danios. Getting the form back in working order was one of those back-burner projects we all seem to have.

Well as of November 23, 2024 I’m happy to say the website is back in working order! At first, it was a bit over whelming trying get the old forum data converted over into a modern up-to-date forum. With trial and error, and some code changes, it all came together in the end.

It’s been very rewarding to me to be able to browse the forum and look at the old posts complete with the original members and all the replies to the posts.

I’m still working to polish things up a bit, and get some experience with the new forum software, but things are looking very promising for the future of the website and the old forum in particular!
