We had no warning of them shutting down. You should read some of the threads that we started on this board about 2 weeks ago when we got shut down on the Times.

So, Peeps, are we going to make this our new home, or are we going back to the Times board when, and if, it reopens?

What does that board have that this one doesn't? I have nothing against the Times, but, hey, if almost all of the regular posters end up here, why move back over there?

I guess some of you guys that had been around over there for ages would like to get back to the board where your old threads reside, huh? I could certainly understand that.

I'm just glad we have this board for the time being. Do you guys think we can possibly come over here once in a while, even if we do go back to the Times?

Tom

I think you have a good point Tom.

I had been saying for a while that we needed an alternate site just in case so the only real question is whether this site is prepared for success. :)

Yuri at the Times already said he will be deleting some posts during the down time so we will see what that means. I'm not going to judge the new Times rules and practices until we actually see what they are in practice.

But I can recall that about 2 years ago about any thread critical of FBC would get pulled, to cite one thing. And recently a thread that contained no more than the Times had just printed was pulled.

So I fear the "renewed board" may be so bland as to be limited to posts about people proclaiming their love for Hammond's mayor and public events announcements. :evil:
