Is there a back up plan for if (when) this forum finally disappears? I need to be able to keep my eye on Jones and know what Drafter had for lunch.

Since there is apparently nobody minding the store any longer, iffn the janitor turn out the lights when he leaves it could get real dark in here.

I've been wondering too. Seems like this operation is liquidating stock on it's way to being shuttered.

I'm not a customer but would miss the forums

No joke... been seriously considering a good one to power the whole house in the event of emergency. I know Jax doesn't get many hurricane landings but the tropical storms sometimes do a good amount of damage, too.

I can probably set something up if you want... Don't have to use it, but it's there in case the lights go out...

Everyone OK with the current sub-forum layout?

I’ll be considering one for the whole house.

I have an agricultural grade John Deere 6000watt with a 13 HP Honda engine from my last stint in Florida. It was part of my hurricane kit and now is part of my earthquake kit.

Yes.

The tricky part is timing, it's a shame we don't have any insight as to when CI is going down for good, Having two places to update is a PITA. I also wonder if there is a way to PM all current users to le them know where to go when this place closes down.

One last thing, whilst riding the Titanic, you might as well go with a Platinum Membership.

My thought was to just leave the backup empty (I mean you can go and sign up for an account now if you want) and only use that site of this one actually goes down.

Unfortunately, I fear that we will have no warning before this one goes away, so no way to suddenly notify people if this board goes "Error 500 - Server Error, Page Not Found".
