Oh great... now the advertisers are having a field day here. Looks like the beginning of the end, folks.
In the case of the demise of this site, which seems imminent, I want to thank you all for the thoughtful, hilarious, and informative posts you offered. I've really enjoyed them.
I have never seen any advertisement here. What am I doing wrong
just damn luck
After not having access for two months, it's been a joy to get back here but, like you, I know the demise is imminent if changes aren't made. No fixes seem to have been done other than the security certificate so messaging still isn't working for me, and other features seem to be degrading.
That said, I include my thanks to you and everyone else who's made this such an interesting and supportive respite from the real world.
I could not even get logged into the site. Sticks48 messaged me on FB the site was back up and running.
I want to know if the messaging is working.
Care to send me a message and see if I get it?
I sent a message a few minutes ago..
@Sticks48 There were no new messages. bummer
The site security cert has been renewed, so it is safe for all us oldies to come back now.
Can't say I have not missed the old place because I have
Yep, it's a ghost town now, but with unsolicited ad posts. I sure miss the whole site. I think often of topics I'd like to run past our members, or advice on events I'd rather not share with people I actually know. A few people reached out to connect through FB, but it's mostly just recirculating memes, not the deeper supportive discussions that were fostered here. Sad to see it end, so I keep checking back once a week to see if somehow the site gets resurrected or moved to another server or something. Wishful thinking.
I've enjoyed this site so much! If I could, I'd give all these advertisers a big virtual kick in the pants! I certainly will actively avoid any of the crap they're selling.
I keep replying to everything in one way or another just hoping that the site keeps on going.
They're just taking advantage of an opportunity because apparently nobody is monitoring the site. It's a shame. Looks like only a few of us are still around.
