So the new board has been up and running for how long and people are still hanging around the old waterhole, which is going to dry up eventually.

I don't get it, vBulletin is awesome with so many new and cool features like Blogs which I have just barely scratched the surface at annoying all of you with my maniacal minutia.

I know that most people don't like change but dang; I recommend a book for those of you who don't titled, Who Moved My Cheese (http://www.amazon.com/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-Amazing/dp/0399144463/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289131374&sr=8-1) by Spencer Johnson MD, it's a great book about dealing with change.

So for those of you whom are still jumping between boards, tell everyone over there, to come over here. And I say to the gods that run such things, i.e. Mr. Hankey and Teratoma, ^:)^ PULL THE PLUG! Let em sick or swim, arg! Well... hopefully they won't sink, they'll just dog paddle their way over to the new link. :)

How about a sticky or posting on the main page about the new location and then lock it from new posts. There might be a few people still who are clueless and don't realize it's moved. The title of the sticky could read "THE BOARD HAS MOVED!"

Hey, I read that book :) Yes, old habits die hard, but I bookmarked the page so I've been making it here :) Just not up to speed yet.

Soon, the setiusa.net link is going to point here, so our occasional lurker friends will find us almost by definition. It would be nice to have a nice active forum for them to come chat at...

Yes it has!

Is it safe to assume you are active on the team again? (excuse me for being out of the loop)

Until they kick me out or drop a dishwasher on me. ;)

Here now and getting familiar with the new home...

I have mixed feelings about this.

I hate to see 5 years of our history disappear, but on the other hand we need something new...

Since I made the break..it would be a nice change just to be a participant.

It is a true pleasure and inspiring to stand in the presence of a Founder; I would like to say, "Thank you" for the time and effort that you and the other Founders invested into creating something truely great.

I agree, wish there was a way to bring the old content over.

Glad to see you made it hear BJ! Long time no see, so don't be a stranger.

I think every effort will be made to archive the old data from the other site. It will just have to be stored in a format that all can read and I don't know what kind of problem that presents.
