I haven't updated our number in a while, so I thought I would. It looks like we have 177 members today.

Is anyone still trying to bring over some of our friends?
Tweto? I know he has had some health issues. Does anyone know anything about him or heard from him?
And Dixie Mama? Goshengirl? Viking? JayJay? Who else?

Pandamonian ,Padre, Pessimistic.

Pandamonian ,Padre, Pessimistic.

I think some have contacted Pessimistic, but he is having some health issues. I have sent Padre a message, but haven't heard back from him. He hasn't been active in a while. I might be wrong, but isn't he African American? It is possible that some of the posts drove him away. ???
Pandamonian? I must not have had much interaction with him and I don't remember seeing him in a while.

Gabby? Squerly? Geek 999 (survived 9/11)?

How many of you knew that Helicopter was no longer even an active member at the old hangout? I tried to message him and his profile was gone.

Both Padre and I own hybrid cars a while back we were discussing the possibility of using the cars as emergency backup power. I messaged him about this but haven't heard anything back. I think he is part African American I think his mother is from Eastern Europe. Also I didn't recall any post that were hostile to African Americans.

You and I might not think there was anything hostile, but I view things differently than others sometime, especially African Americans. I don't see them as total victims who are helpless and need us to take care of them. I do think we fail them by giving them everything they need to live: food stamps, housing, utility assistance, clothing handouts, free school supplies...
I sure could be wrong about why we don't see Padre anymore, and I hope I am.

I liked everyone there even if we disagreed sometimes hope they all come and join us. I do miss the other site but it had already started to change long before we all left. A couple got banned I seldom agreed with politically, but still learned from them in other ways.

Is anyone still trying to bring over some of our friends? ...JayJay?

I sent a message to JJ on the APN forum a couple weeks ago. I check every couple days but she hasn't responded.

I liked it, especially when I first joined, but it has been declining over the years. It was lacking inspiration for me like it had when I first joined.

Maybe it was losing inspiration because you had learned so much from it and then maybe you were becoming somebody else's inspiration. A forum like this provides learning opportunities for all of us but it also provides teaching moments for all of us too. Our life experiences are unique and special. It maybe that one moment you experienced and shared that will make a life changing moment for another member. We all have gifts to share, we just don't know what they are yet.

When I first joined, there were about 75 active threads a day. I didn't follow all of them, maybe not even 1/3 of them because of all the activity. In the last couple years, there were days when there were sometimes as few as a dozen active threads. It was like the doldrums! Then it got a little more active, up around 25 active threads a day, but never picked up steam. I belong to another forum which has always been so active and has so much activity that I only recognize a few names.

 

[Weedygarden]

I just looked at our membership count this morning. We are at 198. That means that in the next day or two, we will reach 200 members!

I sent Musketjim a pm at the old hangout and he has responded, so I hope we hear from him soon.

The activity at the old hangout is pretty abysmal now. I wonder how long it will be online?

If anyone knows of others to invite over, please, put the names out there and I will do my part to PM them and let them know about our new home.

[Weedygarden]

Today we had 49 active threads. This will make that 50 active threads. We hadn't seen that kind of activity at the old hangout for years! It was rare to be over 25 for quite a while.

There are 213 registered members, but that is probably actually 212, because Angie has 2 profiles, one as an administrator, and one as a member.

I am so loving this new forum. I appreciate the fresh blood, the new start, the activity, being here with old friends. I know that when I get on to see what is happening that I will not want to yawn, but decide where I am going to interact!

This makes us so happy! That’s what we’re going for here!
Just remember it takes amazing members like you to make it happen!
Thank you all for making this place the best!

Welcome to all tbe new friends.

 

[UncleJoe]

I just did a quick count at the old homestead. There's been a total of 25 posts in January.

We typically have twice that many here in 1 day.

Somebody is doing something right.

AND somebody (CHRIS ) is obviously doing the wrong thing. I post that many comment in a month or course I could learn to keep my mouth (fingers) shut. Nah, ain't going to happen.

 

[Double R]

Way to go y’all!! You guys rock!
Welcome to the newbies!

 

[phideaux]

That is not uncommon,
But I am still trying to attract new members to chat with us.

I got a new one coming anytime now...MuleCJ8,
Yall help me welcome him when he shows up,
