Gimp Talk

Fri Nov 06, 2020 7:41 pm

Hello fellow Gimp users! :)

I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Gimptalk, and if it'll ever be back up?
I was on there since 2007 (under the same name), and I thought how cool it would be to go back and
see some of the old tutorials and posts that were on there.

Thanks in advance!

At this juncture, being so many years later, and many have splintered off into different forums, groups, etc. - I'm going to say it will never be back up in with the same database of former years. You might be able to revisit some of it if it was scanned by the WayBack Machine and placed into their archives.

And at least 630 instances of it, was archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/2018*/http://gimptalk.com

I clicked on it and all I saw were calendars. I don't think gimp talk is on the wayback machine.

It's still there, mackenzieh, but you have to click on one of the bars. Below's one of my misc. threads about the universe that I started there. :)

GimpTalk was more or less abandoned by its owners/admins. It suffered two rather long-lasting outages within a year, so people went somewhere else...
