[quote=""Ash""]Be careful with making dues. Donations, great, but once they are no longer voluntary, the site suddenly looses steam and members. I've seen that happen on two forums I've been on. I prefer ads over dues, FWIW, tho I would gladly make a donation if that would help[/quote]
Making dues is not one of the options that we are discussing. This is a place to have fun and we don't want to have any kind of compulsion at all about anything!

I'll add my thanks to everyone else's. I was awfully impressed that you and the moderators were able to get this new site up and running so quickly, Marg. If you had already been mulling over the possibility, that helps explain how you were able to do it. Thank goodness! I'm so, so, so glad the moderators now have full control of the site. With a site like this, it's important that the people who own and operate it genuinely love historical fiction and care that the site functions properly. It's sad to lose all the old posts, but it makes so much difference to have the active moderators in full control, so in the end, I think we are all much better off.
Browse over 5000 historical novel listings (probably well over 5000 by now, but I haven't re-counted lately) and over 700 reviews at www.HistoricalNovels.info

banned from the old forum
well, they finally banned me from the old forum. I popped in this AM to tell eigon and andromeda where we were, no go. EC is still posting, tho.
[quote=""Misfit""]I'm history. How about you EC? I did get a PM off to Andromeda Organa and Whisper who were online today. Eigon's already here now.[/quote]
Just PM'd Eigon (glad you're here!) and Andromeda and Stevent. Haven't tried out the post board since my Rosamund Clifford post - which has disappeared!

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'
