Bad News - Please Read
Unfortunately, I have received some sad news regarding this board. It looks like on September 26th this board will be deactivated unless we subcribe to the pay service. I have reached out to them, but have not heard back. Here is the email I received this weekend:
Hello, We are writing regarding your forum at You are currently utilizing our free service plan. We have made the difficult decision to discontinue our free forum service plan due to declining ad revenue, which had been funding our free service. As a result, we have added 100 days of our Premium Forum Service Plan to your forum at no charge to you. During this time, your forum will not contain advertising or branding, and will have access to our additional Premium Forum Service features. However, after the 100 days, you will either need to purchase another term of service, or your forum will be deactivated. Our Premium Forum Service is available for $15.99 per month, or you can also save 10% by purchasing 180 days at a time.
Again, your first 100 days are on us, but you can add more days to your forum at anytime by visiting
If you do not wish to enroll in the Premium Forum Service, please utilize the next 100 days to establish a replacement service, if desired. If you take no action, your forum will be deactivated 100 days from this message.

I started looking for new boards, and I found this site that looks the same as this board, and it is free:
Now, I would be willing to create this - but is there enough interest to keep this board going? If there is not, then September 26 is the end of this board. Please let me know your thoughts on the future of this board.

I would be happy to move to a new board, however it would’ve a shame to lose the amount of the discussion that has been on this board. Is there a way to archive the board at all in the admin controls, as in a download of some sort of file or something? If not there would be other ways to archive the conversations, it would just be tedious. While it has been a bit slower as of late, when it was more active there was always great conversation.
Sing a song of sunbeams, let the notes fall where they may, sing a song of sunbeams in a light fantastic way.

I thought about that, and it seems like I can just capture screen shots of the conversations. There is no place to download our old content. I reached out to the webhost person but have not heard back yet.

The best way then would probably be to save as much as .html files, all you have to do, I think, is right click the page. However, maybe if you do get a response, you could ask about a way to archive what’s been posted on here.

Sounds good. So far I haven't heard back. You are the only one that has responded, so before I create a new board I want to see if there is any interest in it.
Thanks!

We are all of course very much interested in preserving this board!
And even in the worst scenario of being forced to close this forum, preservation of the valuable material uploaded here seems an historic duty to the community of the Crosbyphiles.
