Its been so long that I had to follow a downed website, I almost forgot how to do it. Long story short, SFF's hosting company was bought by Big Blue, IBM!!! SFF.net is hosted by them, too. It was always the backup site for SFF.com. I get a trace to part of IBM's cloud network, but it never gets to the server. Maybe it is just broke and Karel needs to report it. Maybe IBM said "Tsk, tsk". Payment issues?

Karel told me the yearly fee was super cheap, like $150 - so I really can't imagine he would pass on all the click-payments he was getting from porn sites just to save a few bucks. Something else is going on. I had no idea IBM bought out the hosting company, but in that case, there's no way we're going to be back on SFF. What I do want to do is see if I can use a script similar to the BBS we're used to from SFF, on THIS host. It looks like it can be done, I know nothing about how to do it but I guess I can learn, lol... why do I do this to myself... I dunno.

Yeah, I also have to figure out how to change my gender marker. I hope this forum will allow it.

I'm not crazy about this format... I miss the threaded posts. Ah, I see what you're getting at now. I honestly prefer the "Linear" mode since every other forum I use has that as it's default setting. From what I can tel, ProBoards doesn't have a way to switch modes easily available. I'm not sure about Invision since they just redid their code, but I know vBulletin puts a "Display" option on the right hand side of each thread that allows users to switch between linear, threaded, and hybrid modes as long as the admins choose to enable it. This would effectively give everyone the choice of viewing the forum the way they wanted if ProBoards has a similar function. I'm not sure about Xenforo, but it might have this option as well. You CAN quote a post in your reply very easily...at the post you're replying to, just click "quote" in the upper right corner. "Quick Reply" at the bottom of the page just allows you to use text; if you hit "Reply" lower right instead you can add a picture. I think you misunderstood my comment about quoting, and I admit I could have been a bit clearer with it. I'm aware that we can quote an individual post as I did that in this thread when I replied to you before. What I was referring to was a lack of multiquoting, which allows several posts to be quoted at once. For example, with multiquoting I could quote your post, Crossdresser's post, and a third post, and then hit "reply," and all three of your posts would be available for me to reply to simultaneously. ProBoards only has a single-quote option as far as I can tell. No, that other picture wasn't me.... THIS is me. Thanks for sharing the picture! I love the "Tampons in a Gelato shop" pose there.

I think we should stay here. Every time the forum moves, we lose members.
I wasn't able to find this forum myself - the only reason I'm here now is because a friend sent me a link.

Yeah, I agree, even if I find a BBS that is more to my liking I think I would like to keep this site available for backup and continuity. (Hey that was a big word for so late in the day huh?)
The more we post, the more this site will register on the search engines... so flood away, heheh
