Did BuzzU die?

[patrickrd]

Why not move the service to ChiefDelphi? I think it has been down long enough, that the people that originally set it up at Buzz must have graduated from the team or moved onto other things.

All it takes really is a single MySQL table and a relatively simple php script. I'm sure both MySQL and PHP are already installed on ChiefDelphi for these forums. I suspect even if Brandon doesn't have time to set up the script, there are plenty of you out there who know PHP, and could get it basically functional and send to Brandon. I would have been able to do it a couple years ago but my php/mysql skills have been quickly deteriorating over that time.

I think this is an ideal place (aside from on FIRST's site directly) to put a BuzzU-like system up, since there are so many visitors. Unfortunately, it probably will be hard to recover the original BuzzU list... but maybe can be retrieved from that web history site? (I forget what the URL is).

Anyway, let me know what you think. In my opinion the BuzzU system is too useful not to have working. It helped me make some contacts to get team 639 started 3 years ago.
