I changed my signature over there to notify of the move and spelled out the website. We'll see how long it lasts!

Wow - I guess I checked at just the right time.

I added the URL here in my signature line, but it doesn't show up on all my old posts. I made a post in the "What Are You Reading" thread, though.

Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
Favorite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

(regarding Misfit's comment of pm ing former forum members) that's what I'm doing. But it will take a while, and I'm only hitting the ones I recognize. How about I take the ones from A-C and somebody else start the others? It will only let you send one message every sixty seconds, so you can't go too fast. Here's what I am sending:
Title:new forum location
Hi all,
The forum has moved due to this one vanishing without warning. The old folks are now all posting over at historicalfictiononline,com, our new home.
Hope to see you there!

Old Reviews

A suggestion for those of us who don't have reviews located in other places and/or stored on a hard drive ...

Go to the old site, copy and then zip to this new, wonderful site and paste in the appropriate spot.

I just edited my sig on there to saying I'm now posting here.

I see Ephipany Solutions is now a member of the forum. I'm sure they're not happy with us, but who cares!

That's an understatement. I followed EC's example and deleted my reviews -- you can't delete the post but you sure can delete the words that are in it :D
