Re: Congrats on New Site

Yes, true..... although I believe they were asked on numerous occasions were they ok with the ads, so there was plenty of opportunities for them to say they weren't happy having the ads there. I believe they allowed that section in the first place.
Still, out of courtesy, it seems to me the logical thing would have been an orderly shut down. That would have given members time to move elsewhere, for people to exchange contact info and so on. Still, it is their site, was their forum, and they can do (and eh, did!) what they like with it.
But anyway, here we are now, we are independent of any commercial concerns and with more freedom of speech. Hopefully we can keep it going, keep it fresh and interesting for everyone. We have recovered nearly everyone from the old forum I think and hopefully will get the few that are missing soon. Our presence has been advertised on other fora, so hopefully we will get many more memebers and active posters too....
