Hey guys, I tried to get onto this site from work, and the only thing that came up was the old site! I know I put in the right address. So two questions - why are they allowed to continue to use the name when they are no longer going to concentrate on HF? And how can this site become more accessible to people (esp newbies) who want a forum like this? Ok, three questions - is there some way of letting new folk on that site know that we've moved over?

The people at the old site own their domain name (just as we at this site own the domain name Historicalfictiononline.com), so they can use it as long as they continue to own it, no matter what the subject matter of their bulletin board.

Best way of spreading the news of the new site is by word of mouth--if you have a blog or website, link to us, and if you have friends interested in HF, encourage them to join! Hopefully, too, as time passes, we'll move further up in the search engines.

I try to bring it up at the HF discussions on Amazon and I have the URL posted on my profile page at good reads. It's quite a ghost town over at the old board, no matter what genres they want to talk about.
