Good idea, wary! A new forum without Uncle Cracker's climate change spamming!

Maybe use the .com domain since it is available? I've been a member of NFT for a long time and it is always the first place I go to whenever I am looking for an app or game as I always know that the files are good and not riddled with viruses or malware. I hate the thought of it being no more!

Sites be there and are then suddenly gone. The best wishes and actions of those volunteers must be appreciated but sometimes the continuation of a site is not within their control.
Funding and motivation (age/health) are the two main determinants.
W-BB is also a good site but is having probs. So, dont be surprised if your fav site disappears suddenly as this is to be expected.
It is where peeps will move to that will make the next site as good. For an instant, that is.
Thanks to all here who have held the walls upright and delayed the doors shutting. Silence will lie heavily and whatever remains will be alone.

A message to: JS1, Cy or any of the staff..

We (the members) have been loyal for many, many years.. we have freely given $$ support each December.. as staff for NFT you surely know what the situation is.. SO why won't you share that with all the thousands of members that have supported NFT over the years? We deserve to know the truth.. is NFT finished for good or are you still working to start it up again? And if you are working to start it up again, what is the expected time before its back? Tell us so we can move on if NFT is truly finished..!

If anyone else feels as I do then please post your opinion or thoughts here. Why so much silence about the future of NFT? Why leave us guessing about all of this? Just tell us..!!!

You hit the nail on the head 'Snowman', we only ask for info. I agree with all that is said about things. Why be so secretive. I fully believe that our 'Admin' has lost his credibility now...but we all still have trust with the judgements of JS and Cyc. So one of you please tell us what is going on, or just to 'stick a fork in it'...NFT is done.

Hello Cal et all,

I'm afraid that there is no information to share with you at the moment.
We have not been able to contact Ben at all recently. There is no answer from his telephone number
and the voice mail does not appear to be working. I fear that the worst may have happened.
JS has been in touch with the host but they will not relinquish control to anyone except Ben (Admin)
without some communication from him, which has also not been happening.

I would be the first to let you all know in here if there was any change .. but alas, nothing.

I fully understand that you would all like a place to hang out in again and I wish you the best of luck if you decide
to start a new venture. It would be a shame for NFT to end like this but there is nothing we can do.

Best regards to you all,

John (Cyc)

So with what Cy has posted the obvious question is: The name NFT has an expiration date.. Whois information says: Registry Expiry Date: 2017-02-28T20:41:27Z

Would one of our staff or maybe another member or group of members be willing to grab that domain name as soon as it expires and get us going again. Our staff has the technical knowledge and experience to re-install the board software and hopefully has some sort of backup of the files. I know that if you have access to the root folder of the site then you can copy all files down to your computer and I can't imagine that this has not been done. JS1 has that access, doesn't he?

I don't believe this:  but there is nothing we can do.  Again the members have given $$ support through the years and I am sure that there is enough interest still here with all the members to have this board continue and we all would certainly give $$ support if asked and if safeguards were put in place to prevent this from happening again. ie. more that one person listed with the isp to maintain control.

I don't accept just throwing up our hands and saying "Oh well, it was good while it lasted"  and quit..!! 

Come on.. you guys with way more knowledge than me can certainly come up with a solution.

[satdeva]

Thank you Cyclops,

I think your reply is more than enough to understand the extent problem.

I wish all of us good luck and may we meet on the new NFT soon.

Sorry the bottom half of my message can't be seen because I selected the font color as black. So here it is again.

I am sure that there are enough members who would be willing to give $$ support if asked and if assurances were given that this would not happen again. ie. more that one person with access to the isp and control of the name needfulthingzs. Lets get NFT back online.
Anyone else on board with this?

@js1 ...

g'day mate ...

with all the comments and suggestions being posted , it would be a good time for you to pour some calming waters on the situation , with your views on 1. likely reboot NFT , 2. likelihood you can restart from scratch with NFT name ,staff ,etc... 3. what you see as most likely outcome...

would be a big help for all concerned ..
imho ...
\and ,be assured , we all appreciate the many , many , thingds you have done for us memebrs in the past
