Why The Old Forum Closed

I hope that the visitors to www.seniors-forums.com/aboutseniors are now mostly using this forum.

What many of you will be wondering is why I started that forum and why I it is now closing.

I will quote from my last message on the "old" forum;

[quote]As mentioned in my previous posts there are many reasons for this forums closure.

What has not been mentioned is why I started the forum in the first place;

My father started About Seniors and the website always had a forum that was very poor (incredibly bad) and we basically shut down that forum. Then my father passed away suddenly (car accident) and there was no way I could maintain the website so it was so it taken over by Kaye (who is doing a great job), but there was still no forum.

So I started this forum (with permission from @bout Seniors) with the intent of still being involved in what my Dad started. It has however now reached the point where this forum and the @bout Seniors "Meeting Place" are duplicating services.

BTW if anybody wants to buy the domain name "seniors-forums.com" it is currently ranking 5th out of 766,000 results for a Google search on "seniors forum" - thanks for all your support!!![/quote]

Actually it ranks #3 if you only search in Australia - I can't thank the site visitors enough - of course I wont mention the 200 spammer registrations I receive every day :-(

Cheers

Greg

Thankyou for the great work on this forum.

And from me also Greg ........a very big thank you and condolences ...........clay

Very sad to hear about you Dad--((HUGS))

Sad to hear those circumstances Greg. As a forum owner myself for the locality of my birth and upbringing I know the work that has to be done to keep it free from the nasties out there.



Best of luck to you, and thanks for providing us with that initial "Meeting Place".



Hughie.
