What if I called Chris Gordon over at NBC 4 and "bring this up". Or do you think that would cause too much of a stink?

I'd rather not go that route

Best thing everyone can do is continue to provide quality posts and contribute to intelligent discussion. People will find this site. They key is to encourage them to want to stay once they get here.

And some word of mouth advertising doesn't hurt either, to fellow fans that you know and think would make good additions to the site.

Just don't run your mouth on ES. Last thing we need is their rejects, well unless you outline the fact that you won't be able to create threads on obscure topics just because your post in the main thread happened to fall on the bottom of a page and become replaced by a new totally.......no stupid threads.

I tell all my B&G friends, and few get motivated to visit. I'm not sure why. This forum has seemed like family for more than four or five years now for me. When I got the error message, I felt like I had lost many hundreds of friends with no way to re-connect.

Intelligent discussion is great, but sometimes I just enjoy bringing a little humor to the discussion.

It's great you are able to bring the site back, but I'm sorry about the circumstances that brought this about.

I think I will go in and change my User CP, or thread subscription or something. I echo an earlier comment about some sort of e-mail system for members about any other drastic shutdowns should help ease our worry.

One thing we could do is utilize the visitor messages to welcome new people when they sign up. We don't have a hospitality section where people can introduce themselves, so that might be a good way to make people feel at ease and encourage them to join the discussions.
