The demise of this forum

[FeliciaLee]

This comes up every few months. On almost all of the forums I monitor, someone is saying that it is going downhill. You can't please everyone all of the time, that is just the way it goes.

I am surprised, however, that Dave started the topic this time [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

The forum isn't going anywhere, nor am I. I'm here to stay. 2+2 has always been my home. I may be really sick and need to take time off, but unless I'm removed from the earth, I'm going to be here.

FYI, I am getting better. Pancreatitis is a horrible disease, but I'm getting over it. I hope to be back full-time in the next month or two.

Hi Felicia - I am delighted that you are at least healed enough to post again, and I look forward to your return.

Let everyone understand that I am doing this moderator thing because you are ill and that in my mind you are the true moderator of this forum.

I have appreciated and continue to appreciate your leadership.

Relax, get well, and come back when you are ready. The forum will still be here waiting for you.

Thanks, Buzz. You are a gem. I'm sure you've done a fabulous job, and I hope you stick around to co-mod after I'm back.

Make me a mod, I'll help out.

Felicia - I think we'll have a major improvement done once we update the sticky.. I'll try to add more links to it soon. Also, if you or anyone else has any 2+2 O8 bookmarks, please let us know.

Thanks Dave.

Ryan Beal has a post in the "About the forums" forum that merits reading.

"Important info about vBulletin"

It's stickied to the top of the list, so that it's easy to find.

Basically, there will be a change in format November 10 or 11, something like that - and that's less than a month away.

At that time, Ryan indicates threads more than two months old will be lost.

Thus we have to figure out the best way to keep those threads we want to keep. Or do we just want to keep certain posts within those threads?

Anyhow, no big rush, but something to think about. Read Ryan's post in the ATF forum.

If i'm interpretting this correctly, the archives will remain intact, but more recent "old posts" will be lost. I could be way off though. If this is the case, it'd be pretty for some of us to download/backup the good posts, and re-post them later on.
