[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 443955, member: 23"] That may be right. The new site was up and running on the afternoon of the 12th (Ome's "hello" post was at 3:07pm) so it's possible the old one died in the early hours of the 12th (British time). I hadn't realised it had all happened quite that quickly. I'll edit the first post to reflect this. 100% agreed. I've tried looking at a couple of Reddit threads after searching for a particular topic, and found it really frustrating the way each reply was separate and had its own replies. It would feel like posting in a vacuum. I'm glad something so good came out of the crash. Discovering the MCU without your guidance doesn't bear thinking about. A severe issue with the hosting site is as much as we ever found out, as far as I know. I really like this perspective. There was also some jokey speculation that a specific topic started just before the crash (I forget which now) was what got it cancelled. Yes, it was very strange. It was a bewildering first couple of weeks all round. A number of members re-registered with new usernames (some permanent, some for some temporary fun), so there was a new game of trying to work out who was who even as we enjoyed their content... a concept that's since been purloined by [I]The Masked Singer[/I]. You're right that replying to something someone said many years before doesn't make sense, but I think the changed opinions and attitudes are what makes the history genuinely interesting, especially if the change is an outcome of an open minded discussion. I'm also quite big on nostalgia, so looking at old threads is the forum equivalent of flicking through an old photo album and pondering at how someone has changed, or fondly remembering someone I haven't seen in years.
