SUCCESS!!  

Looks like the Discussion Forum survived the server migration intact.

But this is a sobering message that we cannot take this special place for granted. More discussion on future contingency plans is in order.

Thoughts?

Glad to see the forum survived!

eXCELLENT GOOD TO SEE IT BACK UP.

VERY happy to see the forum back up again! Please let us know if we can do anything to ensure that it continues. Before I remembered to look at the blog site this morning there was some angst akin to "Well, crap. What do I do now?", kind of similar to the feeling when my Internet service is interrupted. :D

And on another note, I finally took a metal detector to what I was sure was a stretch of the existing Silica branch ROW about a block from my house, and here's what I unearthed in about 3 minutes of detection work:



Here's the newer spike compared to an ancient one from Mt. Princeton that I unearthed three weeks ago.



And lastly, these are what I assume to be from the midden heap which might have been behind the Waterton depot location. The antique "sad iron" is a nice find!



This historical treasure hunting is sort of addictive...!

And a few more from the 2.1 mile stretch of ROW above Mt. Princeton.









Sorry, I guess I should be posting these on a new topic.

Even as a follower of "The Evil Empire" count me in.

Looks like I'm here. Am I here?

You're here, Mike, on the other side . . .

I think it's worth reviving this subject as the latest message from Nabble support in February was:
 "I originally planned to write a replacement for Nabble, but I changed my mind and won't do this. I only support Nabble for my own use.  Nabble will be around for a while, but I think users should look for an alternative."

I do have an alternative ( phpBB ), and I do use it for the Volkswagen Bus Club that I manage. The software is also free, but needs to be hosted on a server. That is where $ comes in to play unless someone is able to host and maintain it at no cost. Anyways, I think it behooves us to keep this conversation alive.
