Why is it that we, the users, are always left in the lurch when it comes to accessing older software versions? The impending shutdown of OldVersion.com due to financial constraints is just another slap in the face for anyone who's ever needed to dig up long-forgotten tools. It’s absolutely ridiculous that a service so crucial to tech enthusiasts and professionals alike is hanging by a thread! Remember that time when you desperately needed an older version of software for compatibility? Yeah, good luck echoing that experience when the resources we need vanish due to lack of funding. It's high time we demand better support for these invaluable archives. If we lose OldVersion.com, we’re not just losing an archive; we’re losing a vital part of our digital history. Stay alert, folks. Our reliance on software shouldn't mean we have to accept these failures. https://hackaday.com/2025/11/07/oldversion-com-archive-facing-shutdown-due-to-financing-issues/ #OldSoftware #TechCommunity #DigitalArchiving #SupportPreservation #UserRights
