  • Maybe I've missed it, so if James has come out and said, "We had no idea that the old forum would become inaccessible. We thought to save it as an archive and we're going to try to do that. But it's a surprise to us too. We're working on getting t…
  • Tux, stay in touch in other ways... I'm sticking it out for a bit because I have hope and feel that I have to give it a chance... and I simply can't believe that the old archives won't be back up.... So, if/when they are up again this will be the fi…
  • This might be a good place to put how long we were members at the last forum. I like to know that info sometimes. Those that have participated in this thread already could edit their posts if they like.
  • Quoting nick_007: Some problems that may not be evident to the regular user have to be fixed. If your house has termites or mold in the walls you won't be able to fix it by adding a new coat of paint. I hope that analogy makes some sense. Right, b…

  • By the way, there are other forums that actually show you the posts that have been made while you've been writing - before you post yours. This give you time to add responses to those posters too - eliminating editing or double posting. That wou…
  • Like I said to you elsewhere. People will not invest as they did before (which is needed to build a NEW community) when they know it can be burned at any moment. The upgrade promised for so long made no mention of a new community. I can honestl…
  • Did James say that? If he didn't want to host a forum - and I wouldn't blame him - he could have just said so. :S
  • But when they said set amount of time, surely they did not mean a few hours. That's ridiculous. I've been on only a few forums in my life. Some of those have overhauled. ALL of them were able to leave the old forum as an archive. One left PMs…
  • I'd be willing to learn a whole new system if that included a great search engine and some other new features... Like was said earlier here though, this page is like a template blog that wastes much of the page after a few posts. It's really not a…
  • So now the archive is down? That was too much of a teaser. yeesh And how do I get to where I left off in a thread. It used to give me the chance to go to the last post at least. I thought the upgrade would give us the option to go to the last vie…
  • I don't know who Bartleby is, but it's clear he/she was a teen in the last 70s... "hunks"? hahahahahahahahah :P
  • So no pics allowed or just reams of them?
  • Well, I see that the archive is there. Not a really easy format in which to search but if they can leave it up for two or three weekends, I'm sure all of us can find what we want. I don't mind scanning through a few dozen threads for old time's sa…
  • Quoting TheWhiteTuxedo: Highlight the text. Oh wow...thanks.... I see someone has taken the time already to remove the curse words... :(
  • Now I wish there were a like button for those posts (which i can't quote for lack of a quote button) from Tux and Moore.
  • Where's the quote button on this thing? Anyway... Luds said: Luds 1:00AM Permalink Flag Posts: 65 Goodbye to all those moony stories Yea... and on a more selfish note... I would have like to have saved the congrats messages for my engagement,…
  • Well, Tux, not that I'm here a lot... but this format looks cheap. If it is a matter of the admins saving money, ok. But I do think the other format was quite nice looking. Maybe they were sick of the older/longer members complaining that the fo…
  • Wow... I mean are you kidding me? The old forum is not accessible? I would have been nice to get a bit of warning. An email saying we'd have a month to save some memories. I'm not the only one who made friends and have some memories documente…
