is this about right????
Nick:
We are trying our best to carry everything over from before. There have been a few glitches but they're being resolved as we move along. The intended end result is that we will have everything from the old forum data base carried over and we will proceed from there.
Long may we continue. Thanks to everyone who negotiated as well as those who stayed the course.
So, can someone actually elaborate on what's going on? The "good news" lacks any substance, and I still have no idea what's actually happening.
Being that this site is based on the premise of knowledge-sharing, how about we have some?
Ahem... did you perhaps read post #1 of this thread or you could do some searching if you really need to find out more. You'd need to go back to around December 2017 or maybe just a bit before. But not even the Admins knew much back then other than being told the new owners were cancelling the forum as of December 31. 2017.
As this thread says, things thankfully changed.
PS: I'd say there has been a fair bit of good "knowledge-sharing" from the Admins and Moderators, and even they were left stranded and wondering after a high tide at times it seems.

So, how about if someone steps up and shares the details?
@Ember:
There have been lots of ongoing negotiations behind the scenes. During those times, we did not want to release any information regarding the future of the forums because those negotiations could have fell apart and we would have been back to square one. That would have meant more disappointment.
We appreciate and value your membership and your expertise so please hang in there with us for a while longer as the operation of the forums are sorted out.
Thanks.

I sure can't help with any of that but if you want I guess you could be a good sleuth and do some investigating and inquiring with the owners which is easy to find:

Maybe someone there can answer all or maybe some of your queries assuming the info above is accurate and correct.

I'll be unsubscribing from this thread and will wait and see if there's a more formal announcement with details that comes out via email from slydude in the future. If so, I'll be back.
and the light at the end of the tunnel does not appear to be a train.
"We are very pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached to allow for the continued operation of Mac-Forums!!!"
This statement says it all...there's no ambiguity:
"We are very pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached to allow for the continued operation of Mac-Forums!!!"
Mac-Forums is here to stay...plain & simple.
