I'm just glad that when the "lights" went out I was able to find my way here! Lucky for me I had saved this site as a favourite. RJ

ProBoards support indicated that they will not divulge information regarding the status of a board to anyone other than the main administator.

Folks, Sorry about the false start last night. I don't want to get into details here but please check here for a corrected link. Also the link in my "home page" will be corrected very soon. I am very sorry for the hoopla and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support and your kind words. Your Friend, John

That's it, I am throwing out all my phonographs because of this debacle! I think I will start collecting something less provocative like WWI trench weapons! Steve www.theedisonshop.com

Steve www.theedisonshop.comGreat, rather than throwing them away, I'll make a drive to FL & take them off your hands. No point in filling up the landfill. MTPhono, I'll be happy to divide them with you & provide storage until you can get your new machines.

It is a great loss to have both fine boards zapped along with all the hard work that admins and members poured into the threads. Hopefully some of this can be recouped but I feel like an old friend has died with the boards gone. I don't want to cross anyone or step on their toes but this morning I too established a board for general phonograph discussion and already have several members from old boards. I welcome all who want to join. Although it will never be a cool as John's, I hope it is as laid back as Matt's Edison board. Regards Mooo The site for Antique Talking Machines board is: victrolagramophones.proboards.com/index.cgi

Wow! They're popping up everywhere It looks like a great board Moo, but I think I'll hang off joining for a while to make sure that idiot doesn't make an appearance first.

Just watch your backs guys. Someone joined Moo's board under my name- for obvious reason. It's all under control though They even went as far as making a gramophoneshane email address.

RJ,
In light of all that has happened in the past several weeks, why don't we just put this to bed and let it lie. Posting this, in my opinion, only stands to stir up the mud.
Bill

I am glad Neophone and MordEdth, were bale to get the TMF back up and running again. Although on a new server.
I did not want to stir anything up, I just wanted to mention that Porboards, had removed that board. Unfortuneately, Neo's board was shut down too.
Anyway, let's move on.

I think I was the one to first mention the disappearance of the first board. Then I was surprised to find the second also gone? Do we really want to be held hostage to Pro Boards Management? Is this board also run by them? It must be from the caution I am picking up on. Not that I want to say anything wrong, but the truth should be allowed on any board. Its the falsehoods and innuendo that we don't appreciate.
I will take a look at the above newly suggested sites, as moderator of several smaller groups I would suggest that for a while post be moderated if there are questionable ones turning up. Or perhaps deleting the offensive post could be tired instead, but that is difficult once its been up.
I like Matt's board, maybe this will get it to become more used.
