Haven't been able to access The Other Forum for the past couple of days. All I get is a blank page. Anyone know what's going on? Did Gav finally pull the plug? Posting here cuz I don't know how else to contact forum members there.

Hey, HS. Yes, same with me. I don't know what it up there. Supposedly, their website renewal date is late September.

Sad, and kinda unexpected. I haven't been keeping track, how did the fundraising run go this year? Did Gav not get enough to keep going? Though this is kinda sudden, I would've expected there would be some news of some sort if Gav was planning to pull the plug. But I wouldn't have known anyway, since I've been so busy lately I haven't checked in for a long while.

Yes, Gav started the fundraising a couple of weeks ago, but the deadline he set was for Sept. 29. I was wondering if this was a strategic calculation by him so that others could see what they're missing w/o the site.... or maybe he just grew tired, and w/o warning pulled the plug, or... maybe it was just a simple problem with the website, but it has been going on for some days now... leading me to think it might be a deliberate move. IDK, who can say?
This did have me re-reading a thread here about when he kicked Mike off the site - for no rational reason.

Just noticed that the blank page has now been replaced with a maintenance in progress notice. Guess it was just a technical guffaw.

Whoa. Apparently it was not just a technical guffaw. Just noticed that it came back on, but with Kris Emerig as admin instead of Gav, and all the old stuff appears to be gone for good. Intrigue! Was it a hostile takeover? Or Gav got tired of it and handed it over?
More and more intriguing!

Hey HS. Check the 'Joiners' Anxiety' thread here to see the backstory from Kristopher. Yes, Gav torched all content and users...
