Actually, in this other forum one of the members died. only one other member knew him IRL and told the forum's admin, who posted an announcement. The guy was only 40 and it was a shock.
Our forum grew out of a biz news site that closed the forums w/o notice. One of the members started a new forum at his own shared host and sent out email to as many folks as he had addy's for in his inbox. Emails to friends of friends built the community back up in a new location.
Another time our site went down and had to be moved to a new hosting company. Folks found each other and registered at a small lightly used forum (can't post link here obviously).
You can all pick another forum to meet at in case this place is down for an extended period of time. But, you can't post that location here. It must be shared with known friends thru PM or email.
