Hey

[cenacle]

it's good to see people getting the word, please email others that you know...we have a temporary place now, it's better than things were...let's keep it going and see what happens

[Ichinen]

Hello Everyone,

I haven't often posted at SPF, but have fostered close friendships with some of the members over several years.  It's heartening to see that you're getting the word out to each other about this forum, so you can at least maintain connections with each other.  My heart goes out to you all, for the loss of your archives, as well!  Hopefully, that's temporary, and all will be back up and running soon.

Something occurs to me while writing this:  That the site went down when it did feels, in a way, like a 'tsunami' right here in Cyberia - the microcosm of the macrocosm (the world of Consensia) - with our Spiritplants brothers and sisters suffering the loss of their community...  


*extanding hand in friendship*
We're all in this together

Well , I'm back on the hunt as well , but not convinced yet that SPF is down the tubes . Something just doesn't click yet , but in the mean time , count me in with whatever I can do  .

[Syd]

I'm always around and will help in anyway I can. I'm off 12 hr shifts now so I should be around more!

[laughingwillow]

I agree with cen on this one; its time to share the burden. I'm guessing we haven't seen the last of spf, but I'd shore like a little more cyber-stability, one way or the other.

Btw, I'm guessing I'll have some money to throw at this project in the next while.

Well, I'm still fairly optomistic.  It'd be a real shame to have truly lost all that brilliant discourse, lunacy, personal insight, experiences, poetry and pictures that had accumulated over the years.

That's what I keep thinking, it truely is an artifact from this sector and time frame. we all spilled a lot of life on those pages.

Yeah, I hear you'se guys. Its (mostly) out there for posterity, anyway, on disc somewhere. But I don't fear a new start. I'd rather let the dead bury the dead and just be here now. hehe

I posted the tempoary site's address at the Nook. Hopefully Winder and a few lost soldiers will see it there. I'll send pm's to any spf folks I see there, to help point them in the right direction.

i think itd be nice to start over...
would draw in new discussion since everything was pretty much covered befoe..

neway lemme know if i can do anything

[Stonehenge]

I finally found my way here, thanks Varja. I'm Stonehenge in case it calls me guest or something. Man that was a blow to lose spf but we could all see it coming. It went down several times for a period of a few hours or a day or two and finally went down for the count.

Count me in if you need a few bucks to get something set up. Eddy promised to give me a snail mail addy to send $$ to and he never did so I'll send it to the new effort. I think we had something that was worth keeping. I'd like to get my pm's back but I guess that's out of the question. Is this the new site or is this temporary? I'll post the url to the 8 or 9 sites I post at.

Well, I'm here, but I have this dilema: should I use my real Nym, or this spoonerized one I had to adopt before, owing to some software glitch in the forum formerly known as SPF. Ah...the decisions....

[VajraPirate]

You mean your real name's not Amomynous?

I was a little pissed at my mom.. Growing up Varja the Pirate... Kids would always gang up and tackle me... force me to wear eye patches and parrots, make me walk imaginary planks. Once they even played keep away with my crossed dorje.

Kids can be so cruel.

[Ashoka]

Varja, I know what you mean.. When the kids in my childhood neighborhood would see me, they would immediately yell "ASS HOOKAH, ASS HOOKAH" in chorus - it was a though time and I spent most of my time in a dark, damp cellar playing amiga.  

Thanks mom..



Anyways, great to see the enthusiasm.  I really, really hope to see SPF up and running again.. But while we're here lets make the best of it..
