Under development: a new forum to further the same cause

Oleg Volk · December 18, 2002, 04:04 PM

My first reaction to the retirement of TFL was unhappy. However, that was balanced by the knowledge that we can support the same goals and the same cause with the benefit of the experience gained at TFL. While the specifics are still in development, at least one new forum will happen shortly -- in the spirit, if not in the mirror image -- of TFL. Details forthcoming as details become clear to all who are working towards it right now. We hope to have the new venue available before the end of 2002.

I'll be waiting

Betty · December 18, 2002, 04:07 PM

And I am soooooooo there!
(Maybe I can be the new forum mascot or something.

)

As much as I'd hate to see TFL go, I am hoping most of us will be a part of the new forum. It'll be bumpy for awhile, but hopefully everybody will remain vigilant.

Enjoy TFL to the end of the month.

Count me in.

Oleg-

Check your email. Let me know if you need anything.

No4Mk1 · December 18, 2002, 04:16 PM

I'm there. Let me know if I can help.

Drjones · December 18, 2002, 04:17 PM

I'll be there, and I'll help.

God, I don't know how I'm going to eat lunch after I just found out about this...

Greg L · December 18, 2002, 04:19 PM

Looking forward to it. Let me know if I can help in any way.

I've been mostly silent lately, but I am SO THERE! I couldn't believe it when I read that TFL was going static.

Oleg, let me know if you need any technical help - I'm an old mainframer/client-server developer, but I have some experience with the new format bulletin boards, and am always wanting to learn more.

buzz_knox · December 18, 2002, 04:22 PM

I'm there. There is no other forum that has the ability to support the breadth of discussions and number of people. This is one of the best resources in our common struggle, and it would be a great loss to the cause to allow it to fade away and not be replaced.

tomkatz · December 18, 2002, 04:23 PM

oleg...if there is anything that I can do to help let me know, I would like to get more involved. This gives me some hope, thanks...tom

Ben Swenson · December 18, 2002, 04:25 PM

You've got email, Oleg.

Preacherman · December 18, 2002, 04:26 PM

Count me in! If financial support is needed, I'll sell a gun and donate the proceeds, as well as pony up monthly if a membership fee is required. Let's make this happen, gals 'n guys!

Jeeper · December 18, 2002, 04:38 PM

I am also definately willing to help out..

BigG · December 18, 2002, 04:38 PM

Jawjuh is interested.

Seeker · December 18, 2002, 04:39 PM

I am there...let me know what I can do to help.

Zak Smith · December 18, 2002, 04:39 PM

Count me in.

To continue a site in the spirit of TFL, I'm willing to donate some $, time, technical expertise.

Let me know what I can do.

I'm in. Keep us posted regarding what you need in the way of support.

**Rich Lucibella** · December 18, 2002, 04:42 PM

Fear Not-
If Oleg needs a few days past the 1st, we'll hold it together for y'all until he's up and running. I expect it to be prior to the 1st though.
