Well, here we are, again.
Boardhost kicked us.
Voy went out of business or something.
So here we are at ProBoards.
You'll have to bear with me, I'm still getting stuff sorted out.
At least there was a colour scheme that sort of matched the old board.

Laid down some basic rules, and created and pinned a few lists in The Librarium, posted stuff…

Well, everything SEEMS to be looking okay from my end, but I don't see what youse see. I have extra menus and things.
So if there's anything that doesn't look right or doesn't work, please let me know so I can change or fix it.
And with regards to suggestions, if you don't want to use the subforum, just PM me on here. I check in every few hours if I'm not asleep.
I'm slightly annoyed that you have to register to participate, as I preferred the open door policy we used to have on other boards.
If everyone is happy, I'll drop the registration approval in a few days, or not, what do youse think?
I'll probably delete this thread when the dust has settled, I put it here more to see what a post would look like, to make sure I had stuff configured properly.
Though I'm not entirely thrilled with the forum structure, having various sub-forums will allow more diverse subjects to be discussed without clogging things up, plus one of the biggest complaints I had from lady posters is that they were discouraged from posting because of the doom and gloom atmosphere that seemed to pervade the old forum, and they were right too, there was a lot of serious stuff being talked about. But then our future was that much brighter back in the good old days. That's something I hope to get back.
Youse probably noticed that I took a few leads from The Refuge, but I hope to make this place ours. I sort of hope to make it a resource that people will come to for useful information also.

Wow! Was I glad to find this. I had been trying to get on' here without success.
Now as to voy, I have heard that they are down for big overhaul, but I can't get confirmation. You'd think the company wouldn't do that without an announcement.
Anyway, I'm glad to see this. Thursday I had one of the greatest sightings of my entire life, but had nowhere to write about it. lol

Now that I see several people have joined, hopefully this board will start to get back somewhat to how good it tended to be, under Voy. I just wonder, has Jason rejoined this new site yet? I know marc91 knows about this board, based on seeing a post from him in This and That(the successor board to Bits and Pieces, and RIP John).
Good news for last weekend(went to several neighborhood street festivals), is that I did have several sightings that were good. Including one of a woman who was younger than I imagined she'd be for a smoker, and if I had to guess was in her early or mid-20s. It's too bad the millennial mindset for smoking is so anti, that I doubt we'll have the same number of young smoking sights we used to see years ago.
