Change is never easy, and I so loved the atmosphere of the skatingforums, that I refuse to consider skatingforums "dead" and just move on to another established board and try to think of it as "new home". So - please, can we all just continue here?
Note: at this point, while a seamless transfer of the posts from the other board may not be possible, one way or another, we *will* have access to the wealth of the information accumulated on skatingforums, as both Jim and I are working on downloading all of it.
Jim - huge thank you for spending so much time since yesterday afternoon getting the forum posts backed-up, setting this up, and so generously volunteering your resources!
