The old AW site had a very different look, unfortunately when our host sold up to a new company (without warning), who then terminated the account again without warning, we lost several months worth of data (the last backup being a few months old since ftp access to the sites servers had also been severed)
Subsequently to get it back up and running was looking to be a fair undertaking, and the decision was made to get a new one back up using xoops. I do miss things from the old site, but we are striving to get a different look back with some of the missing things we had on the old site again.
