This is my home, Dennis. I am true to you. If it isn't here, I don't need to know it. Too many good, dedicated people here.

Saw some familiar sites mentioned that I hadn't thought about nor visited in some time. Helps provide some perspective on how important this place is. On here everyday and have met some good folks because of it.
There was an earthquake board I visited years ago, Synergy or something like that, that I do not believe is around anymore. It was for "earthquake sensitives"- among other earthquake-related data, and one of the members was in prison at the time, -if I remember correctly-, and he would contribute. Not sure if it is still around or maybe I do not remember the name anymore. Tried to google a few keywords to locate, the site, but nothing came up.

Syzygy?
I got a few hits on BING using "earthquake sensitive discussion forum".
The syxyzgy thing did come up.

Neither here nor there.
So many places I’ve never heard of. Most of the places I used to hang out was for art quilting, dyeing fabric with dyes, weaving, etc... and canning groups.

I sometimes would visit there a long time ago.

TB2K is my online home. Thanks to Dennis...
When I realized I needed to retire and take care of my wife, it left me socially isolated, as well as no longer having a job to go to every day.
Many days, my family and TB2K are the only social contacts I have.
But then again, TB 2K IS my online family.

Mike Vanderboegh's site is still up, but after he died, his son locked it. Towards the end, he needed some work done on his house. Me and a friend considered making a road trip to go help, but didn't go. He ended up with plenty of help. Lots of good reading on his legacy site.

The ORIGINAL gathering place for a merry band of Three Percenters. (As denounced by Bill Clinton on CNN!)

Gardenbuggy died after a troublesome member made another site with same forums in it then the original started getting hacked. Never joined the clone site.
Several individual centric sites, such as Hood's Woods and Jerry D. Young sites, have disappeared. I believe Jerry could no longer maintain it and Hood's kept getting hacked after Ron's death. Karen Hood is still active on FB.
Life has kept several PAW writer's sites open but little or no new content.

And even if you didn’t. I still have no real clue why he took a hate on for the writers the way he did. Especially the female writers. We all kept to his rules and participated in other areas of the forum as well. Oh well, no biggie. His forum, his house and he ran it as he saw fit. But the new owner is going to have a difficult road ahead to bring back participation. John really did slice and dice the place’s reputation and usefulness.
No. And I hope that people had time to transfer the fiction area some place. I have MJOTZYs and I’m thinking of putting it here to preserve it.

I left TTOL to come here. This is the only site I visit. Nothing else out there comes close to this one.

One thing I miss from the old sites were the weekend campout meets. For me it was alpha rubicon organized events, but other websites had regional or local area campouts. Does anyone still do this?
I suspect a major reason for this is people being 20 years older with more aches and pains.

Was it assaultweb? That site was booming post 9/11 for a couple of years. Then one day, it all of a sudden was a ghost town.

The one site I am sorry to have seen go by the way side was the "weaponeer" forum. They had a very good resource on weapon prints. Read the owner sort of flaked out and all the information that resided there was lost to all.
I do miss the Woodpile report.

I think that was "syzygy" and either that or some other one had a "dreams" section that was pretty interesting.

Those are the ones I frequented. I also go to Free Republic every day still. Countryside is the one I couldn't remember the name of. On a rare occasion I drop in to Homesteading Today, its seems to be doing well. But here is home.

That's what I worry about here, is there a continuity plan in place?

I used to be active on gunsnet. It is still around, but it has never been the same since their servers went down and years of postings were forever lost. I will drop in once in a while and post something. Usually within a week or two someone will respond. Yup the cobwebs are kind of thick over there. I dont fauxbook or twitter. It is just here and ar15.com.
