New home for the Fanclub folks at last

[primsong]

Ever since the storefront was put up (and that's a LONG time ago now), I have chafed at the advertising, instability, crashes and freezeups, stupidity and layoffs, etc. etc. that we have dealt with in our days with Decipher. We survived in spite of our host, not because of them... And how many times did we say "Oh, if only we could have our own board...!"

Well, now WE DO. It's been a long time in coming, but all the mods have helped me and I've many folks who have each sponsored a month of hosting - as of today it's finally real. Threaded view, quick loading and all. No ads, no membership dues, no CEO. We're going to make a stab at moving, and hopefully will get to see a few 'old faces' who understandably were too fed up with Decipher to post anymore. New forums for non-LOTR writings, on-topic discussions and swoons have been added as well, as we have all grown and changed.

Whew! *pops cork on ginger-ale to celebrate*

That's good news! I will be sure to make a move upon the place. ;-)

Hey, Prim. It has me listed as a member but I never got the confirmation email and it won't let me log it.

Well, that's a first - I'll have to go hunt under the hood and see what's to be done. We can't have you missing, nope nope...

It's truly amazing Prim. I tried so hard to be open minded about the new Decipher forums, but they just didn't trip my trigger. There really is something about the threaded form that makes it easier to just jump in and join a conversation and for the conversations to take a turn and I don't know...but thanks for taking this one. It looks great!

The threaded view confused me, LOL! I had to switch back to the other way so I knew what I was doing. Ah, me!

My confirmation email got delivered to my Yahoo's "Bulk Mail" folder. Be sure to check there if you're using an online email.

thank you Amy, thank you!

I am not sure if you are starting a New scrapbook or not but I will now be posting at your new Red Book and such as Onomir. For ease of use and a milestone, perhaps it is easiest for you to just start a listing for Onomir and Onono will be history. This is only a thought. Please advise as I see some folks are having different names as well.

I am ever so thankful for your endeavors.

I hope my "seed" money helped a wee bit but as I stated before I would like to help fund this effort and Big O can stand for October so how much shall I send you for October? e-mail me if you like or a note here, ok?

(((((My Friend))))))

Prim, you know it is always the best to ask permission first, so I ask you if I can add the link of our new place to my site? So the others who never have been or even heard of the message boards can visite it too? I have a few members who have never been to the official boards and maybe they will like it too!!!

(((mrsp))) - of course you may link to it - I encourage anyone to link to it, to get the word out so we don't miss anyone first of all, and so we can pull in anyone else who may be interested. Thank you!

Big hugs Prim!! I posted it!
