My fb accounts got hacked a few years ago. :0

 

[Milo Willamson]

Althought I am on instangram and maybe on twitter, I have not checked my twitter in ages.

 

[mikedt]

Not on Fakebook, Insta, nor Twitter(banned from all of them). I do have Wechat, Douyin, and QQ though.

Hey we're back, someone paid the Internet bill and renewed the domain.

 

[olbriar]

Was a Rob move. @NightAngel79 has been trying to get some response from him. I take the renewal as a desire to keep the place afloat. Hope I'm right.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Or he was coerced into it. Have to wonder since the certificate renewal last week was only done for 3 months.

But I hope you're right too.

What we really need is an alternative site that we could gather if necessary. I don't know what Rob has up his sleeve. I'm certain the site isn't paying it's way. He obviously lacks great interest in the place or he would be a regular or at least somewhat active. I do think he has a care about the site and he had hopes of it rising again to some level of popularity with the name change etc. I'm glad we still have the site. For how long is the big question.

Strictly as backup...

Take a look at WhatsApp. I've used it for texting and calls with our daughter in Germany. Works great. It's free and I believe encrypted.

Interesting feature (haven't used it yet): I just explored the Communities feature, which allows you to set up group chats with subforums/topics, which maybe, if we're lucky, could handle Funny Pictures, Dog Days Afternoons, etc. 😊

I defer to the experts and Mods here.

I have no desire to jump ship. I wish Rob would log on so we could discuss the future of the site. I asked Nightangel to ask Rob his intentions. If he replied, the future wasn't shared. Another site will lack the vehicle of helping each other, and others if allowed to join, over the rough spots in our electronics. I'm not sure how long we would survive with just sharing memes. With that said, I was bored to tears without logging onto AF.

Thanks all for resurrecting this forum, I had a massive like "Sorry this domain n is not bought, if this is yours.."

Take a look at the Communities feature. It allows 100 "groups" within a community. So while it can't replace a fully functional forum, it does seem to allow for a cheap imitation.

 

[olbriar]

I will give it a look. It would lack the drawing card for new members. But we at least be able to stay connected.

 

[IHateMyTreo]

Yeah, I wasn't looking for a new home for the club, just a backup vaguely resembling the community here with sub-groups. Thanks for checking it out. There are probably other possibilities that more savvy types know about.

I understand... I don't think anyone here wants to leave. If we are forced to, we have no choice.

True!
