I hope Sean and Tamara are simply retiring and that nothing serious has happened. I looked at Sean's personal site and read this notice:
"We're very sorry that, after 22 years, we'll be shutting down the DiscussionApps on October 31, 2019. We've been very happy to have provided this service and we wish you luck with your communities."
You are one of the most honorable nerd/geeks that I know about - and Tamara is an ANGEL with infinite amounts of patience.
Even though many people have gone to Social Media I will never do it due to their harvesting and selling of user information. They have so much money that they have petitioned various judges and courts to suppress much of the knowledge uncovered concerning their evil ways to keep it from public knowledge. Most users are naïve about Social Media manipulation and the de-facto destruction of society, which Social Media giants have unleashed; often deliberately.
You are and were always a Class-Act! You are amazing!!!
It would be wonderful if your forum hosting stayed on forever as an example of pure and uplifting behavior by a Super-Geek. There are other honorable forums although very few (if any) run forums that also permit mini-forums run by users.
At least in the EU they are clamping down on the destruction of people and their lives by the social media giants. Many here in the USA still believe Fb and BigG are okay – and as some joker once said – 'Never give a sucker an even break'.
You Sean and Tamara are wonderful people and will be sadly missed!!!
Sean is still very much alive :). Thank you for your kind words. We will miss all the wonderful people over the years who made their home with us but the time has come to move on to the next chapter.
