Hey, Jim. Good to see you. Mr B performed a radical "update" to the forum, which left it a faint shadow of what it used to be. Nobody knows if they'll ever get it back to anywhere near what it used to be. Right now, almost the entire community we have come to know and love so much is gathered together right here. I would have been heartbroken if not for this, and I think I'm not alone in that. :clink:

Jim, we have no idea so you'd have to ask them what's up. They've been very mum on communication.
Meanwhile, you'll see a lot of familiar faces here.

What happened to it? Well, they went to a guy on the street in a bad neighborhood who opened his raincoat and said "Psst, wanna buy some forum software"? They said "does it come with a manual?". "Nope, he said.". "Do any companies run it?" "Well, some companies RAN it before they closed.". "How much?" "$3.99". "Ok, we'll buy it.".
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...

I told them Gass-X doesn't work for me, but noooo, eat the chili they said, you'll be fine they said.

welcome to the forum, jrflowers2! :welcome: :welcome:
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Edgar Allan Poe
