bobledrew hasn't been on in awhile. I don't know if he's been busy, or what...
This message board permanently closed on June 30th, 2020 at 4PM EDT and is no longer accepting new members.
I hear what you're saying and do have my own feelings on the whole change over and transition. I would like to point out though that once this new board went live, everybody was given approx' a week for gathering P.M data. I also think (don't quote me, but do ask him) that Jordan still has access to the material contained in the groups if there is something specific you are after.Hey there,
I'm alive and at sea with a crappy connection.
I haven't been around due to that, but also due to the changes to the board, which have made me deeply unhappy. Let me be clear about this: it isn't about the look and feel (which I dislike), or about the fact that my avatar disappeared (which pisses me off) or about post count (which upsets me not at all)...it's about other stuff that was removed with NO WARNING. There were things that were significant to me, things I'd have copied and kept, had we been given a heads-up. My online journal from the DT group, some PMs, and (most significantly) some of JD's writings. Removing that stuff without telling us it was about to happen feels like betrayal to me, and I'm angry and hurt.
I really wish the Powers That Be around here would take things like that into account before they go tearing apart things that matter to some of us.
Maybe in time I will make peace with this.

I miss PatHat a lot, too. (((((PatHat)))))REALLY missing PITH
I think Jordan might have said he'd try to archive the groups, like he did with the old board... but I could be wrong at that...Flake, I was at sea with no internet connection when this board went live, so I missed the memo about PMs.
I will check with Jordan regarding the data from social groups, but would have liked to have had the opportunity to go through some of that stuff to select what I'd like to keep. As it is, I'll have to rely on memory, a faulty proposition at best.
I just think the way this was done was wrong.
I'd specifically mentioned that week because you had been active on FB so I assumed you would also have had access to the MB.Flake, I was at sea with no internet connection when this board went live, so I missed the memo about PMs.
