I am glad you are all back able to post - their are far fewer posters here now than before, however if people still get pleasure out of it then brilliant, especially in such tough times
I am not very tech savvy but when this board was unavailable some interested youngsters offered to have a go at an option to this board, as similar as could be but with hopefully more longevity and reliability - I think it isn't a million miles away, so it may well be that another iteration of this old board appears at some point.
It is not replacing anything or competing with anything and may well just sit there as a back up to this place if it does ever completely collapse or close.
I am looking forward to a lengthy sabbatical myself as I have found posting far less enjoyable over the past few months - a situation I admit to having contributed too, in the meantime I will continue to re add users here as when needed, and hopefully this place will remain available for a good while - or at least long enough to see off you old geezers!
