Does anybody still go to the Horatians Livejournal? Maybe put the word out over there.
I'm in touch with MG and we'll get the "old" board back eventually.

Further ETA: I have made an executive decision. We are moving. This place seems good. If anyone absolutely hates it, speak now or forever hold your peace. It doesn't have to be here, but I'm liking it myself. However--we are moving. We really have to. I've no problem with this. Its just as easy to use and if it makes sense to move if the old forum isnt working. Also I like the shout out feature below.

Do we need to contact any of the other regulars, so they don't get adrift and end up in El Ferrol? I was wondering the same, espeically regarding long-time members who have been inactive for a while. Alas, due to my computer crash earlier this year, I have lost any email addies I once had so I wouldn't be of much help, sorry guys. ***************** Edith says: As I already mentioned on the LJ forum, it would be great if someone could also inform the members on dreamwidth. Sharpiefan is one of them who switched therefrom LJ... Without being on dream or on fb, I have no chance to help you out with the work, only with the ideas...

Anybody who can pass the word around to the other social media sites, please do so.
I think once the domain is switched to the new forum, anyone who goes to 'horatians.org' will be directed here.

The domain expired. *swears like a sailor* It's locked, I can't even renew it. ETA: Wrote an emergency note to MG to renew it, offered to pay what is necessary. It just expired today so we should be able to renew. We won't be able to transfer it for a month, I think, but once the grace period passes, I will have her transfer it. Sorry, guys. I should have been on top of this. Further ETA: I have made an executive decision. We are moving. This place seems good. If anyone absolutely hates it, speak now or forever hold your peace. It doesn't have to be here, but I'm liking it myself. However--we are moving. We really have to. I was just over there and everything looks and works OK. But if it seems like this is a more stable place, I say go for it!! ~Phizz P.S. I'm glad to see that I've passed "Lubber" and am now a Middie!!!

Aye we do need to make sure that the word gets out there - but hopefully once domain name points to here people will find us

The domain and the old forum will come back and point people here, and then eventually point here. We'll get everything back eventually. Don't panic.

Really, I so much appreciate your hard work, I cannot tell. Don't stress yourself about our "hm, I think this is still missing", to me messages like this look like we're making ourselves comfy right now - and just would love to get some of the "old stuff" as a good old bonus. Really, I like this place.

No, I would like to get the forum back, too. It will happen eventually. We're not in disaster mode.

I'm just happy we have somewhere to meet that everyone seems to be able to access for the time being. None of this was really planned, it was all serendipitous. I was hanging in there with the old forum and then someone posted a comment* on a forum hosted by proboards that linked to my blog. I followed out of curiosity and then ended up poking around, thinking, "yes, this will do." And then things proceeded from there.
*a critical one, but thanks anyway, whiny plebe! You were more helpful than you no doubt intended to be.
