The German Gliding Forum is not only a platform for glider pilots from German-speaking countries and beyond to exchange ideas, but also an immense repository of knowledge and expertise. In June 2023, the Gliding Forum was taken offline due to personal reasons on the part of its original operator. It seemed that the forum’s content was lost forever.
Fortunately, the team at the Association, led by our webmaster Lucas, succeeded in migrating the forum content to a new technical platform, thereby preserving it for the gliding community. In doing so, we were able to preserve both the content from the last Gliding Forum (2010–2023) and the content from the very first Gliding Forum (2000–2023).
Unfortunately, the active moderation team has dwindled over the years, and by the end, the burden of moderation rested on just a few shoulders. Until we find sufficient reinforcements, we would like to make the forum accessible for reading only. We ask for your understanding in this matter.
Currently, the forum is only accessible to registered users who have participated in the forum in the past. The activation of new forum users will take place in a subsequent step. We are also planning to highlight forum posts of particular relevance (e.g., technical tips) and transfer them to a knowledge database.
