Who was the webmaster for this forum? Was it Saltire Software?
Did anyone contact them and ask for a database backup? Does anyone have an email address I can use?

As far as I can remember, they had a lot of interesting hacking topics. Are those lost forever?

Was it a calculator forum? Also, it appears the waybackmachine can't help because it of its robots.txt:

So it was or was not a calc forum?

It was similar to the Casio Kingdom fx-9860G SDK forum.
Most ClassPad programmers and experts (even some from Saltire Software) met there and it was a lot more active than the UCF ClassPad forum.

I'm afraid that we have to rediscover all the 'cool' stuff...

Ah, too bad. When did it go down?

Hey everyone. Let me shed whatever I know about this entire story...

About the people, the web site was run by Saltire Software, yes, as well as www . classpad . org. And in short Saltire software was the company who "transfered the technology to Casio for making the Geometry addin". We knew and often talked to Brian Maguire (he is a member here called SoftCalc, you know how to find his profile), but the sites' webmaster was probably a person called "ricky" and his last name started with the letter "c". (In case you're wondering, his name was in a screenshot in one of the CPSDK tutorials ) .
The last reference to the cpsdk .com and classpad .org was probably my own topic: http://community.cas...spadorg-closed/

kucalc and CrimsonCasio helped emailing SoftCalc and I once emailed Saltire also. No chance.

OK you guys'd better try yourselves, because maybe my tries were not serious enough.

There is something I didn't tell you, but that shouldn't count (revealing it might even negatively affect you guys' attempts to contact Saltire) so will probably leak it sometime later. Anyway I think I typed a lot for now, will tell you more if I remember...

Wooo.... sounds spooky.

Could you download it? It works only on MSVS 2005, neither older nor newer versions. It also lacks Bevt_wait function used for waits and some rarely-used functions. However Orwell used it to develop CPLua, as Visual Studio has some good debugging capabiliites.
