Post Old NitroForum Users roll call
If you were a user of the former incarnation of NitroForum, drop a note to me and the other old users here. Discuss my perfidy for letting the board lapse as you will. :?

Hi, Jim! No, I'm not upset that you let the old forum lapse, and didn't retrieve the content. :roll:

Uri, hi! And Nick, too - already exchanged greetings with Jack elsewhere.

Dive in as you have time. We've got a great restart going here with the Centennial crowd on board.

I'm really quite glad that the forum is back. I missed it. I had written to Jim Gifford recently and asked if/when he was going to bring it back. He indicated that it would not be soon...but that I should harrass him periodically about it. It was entirely by chance that I checked in on the forum today...and discovered it was back.

Thanks Jim.

Also, I like the new styling/fonts/etc of the new forum.

Ps. Would've have loved an email letting me know that you were back online - given I had written to you just a few weeks ago on the very topic. I would have made my way back anyway, as I did, but depending on when you brought the forum online it might have been a month or two before I checked. No matter; all is well and I'm not really complaining. I'm grateful. :D

By any chance, did my inquiry to you regarding what other Heinlein forums were available have any impact towards bringing it back?? Or just two totally independent events? I note that you never replied to that and 3 weeks later the forum was back.

Also glad to see Nitro back up, I've already stuck my 2 cents in elsewhere and I'm glad for the oppertunity. I made another check to see if the forum was back and for the first time in months wasn't disappointed :D :D :D .
Group hug :roll:

Jim,

Well, I'm dreadfully upset at the loss of the previous NitroForum contents, mainly because I can't remember whatever morsel of knowledge or wit I contributed. I've seen several other forums and blogs sink with all posts, including mine, so it seems to be a hazard of cyberspace: Ethereality Risks Ephemerality.

But I'm sure glad NitroForum is revived -- thanks!

Well, yeah, if you want to stretch a point, I'm a returning poster, having posted, what. ...twice? :o three times? :shock: on the old forum, before it disappeared.

Thanks for bringing it back, Mr. Gifford! And thanks to all responsible for the Centennial (though that's a different post yet to be written).
