Reach out to forum members you know who haven't made it here yet - AllGold - 07-01-2025

Apparently, if their bookmark was directly to a specific forum (i.e. Tips and Deals) rather than the main site, it doesn't redirect and they might think the forum is still down.

If you have direct contact info, you might want to give them a heads up.

I was just thinking about that today.
I hope more people can navigate here.

I wonder if OWC could do a redirect of those URLs to go to the new forum list. I think the forum was up for at least a few days before I realized it as I had the T&D bookmarked directly.

Yeah I'd hope we could get a "simple" redirect implemented from

I tried to reach out to samntex through the new sites email but no idea if it went through

my email for MRF hadn't changed, so I'd think it'd be the same for all. I'd think a PM with the new URL would do it.

Is private messaging disabled by default?

Has already been suggested but I doubt anyone cares enough to implement it.  I had been accessing via list/1 saved in my browser URL bars, and just getting the :file not found" page.

I wonder how many:

didn't get the information about the reddit site
went to the old place and found 'Move, no order' and didn't bother looking
tried to login here, couldn't, and didn't try with a new UN, and just gave up
created a new UN and haven't 'come out'
created a new UN, looked around and said 'Oh hell no'
maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man

There's not yet the activity here even among those who survived the boat trip, or the old place.

Giving it time to see who makes in across the digital river.

If you post again, they get separated by a horizontal line. It seems to be a feature of the new MyBB platform.
This is response 1.

and now this is Response 2.
