It's been a bit of a Merry-Go-Round the last couple of weeks, but here we are with a brand spanking new forum.
First question is a bit "Thicky" but will the transitionary replacement thread(Musicradarmyfreeforum) be eradicated from Cyberspace or will it just become the "Last Chance Saloon" where nobody goes?
Will people still post on the original MR should it ever get back on it's feet?
Will we lose some old faithfulls? I've been away and struggled to keep up but noticed on the other forum that some had not found their way or I hadn't noticed them (Myranda and Kebabkid)?
Will people struggle to keep up with name changes? I've spotted a few but am bound to have missed some. Most have remained the same though *Phew*
On the MRmyfree back up forum I spotted a couple of names I didn't know from old MR, but who seemed to be well known to the regulars from the old MR forum (Zap and MrMenturm)?
I guess I am naturally curious(nosey b*****d in plain english), but just like Columbo "These things bother me"
Don't get me wrong the Forum is great, but it feels kinda weird. I can liken it to working somewhere then having your company move premises and you still work with the same people but you're all in different offices and no one knows where the toilets are.
Care to share your befuddlements?

Ah, I obviousy recall Lixarto, but don't remember Drew fx on the old MR, I think I recall an AxeFx or something. I would be quite devastated to lose all the great advice I got in my threads and PM's from MR. Like I said on the Pedalboard thread, most of that knowledge was from you guys and there is stuff I can revert back to for help on MR.
Cheers.
If MR does come back, I think there'll be some to-ing and fro-ing between the two but I can't see MR ever really competing with this place. Once too often they have shown no concern for the forum and its community, and that community has very vocally voted with its feet, and fooked off!

I understand your frustrations and even though I do not know much about the higher echelons or the owners of MR(Future) or whatever else they do, I do now hold them in utter contempt for letting us down. I also applaud you guys for doing this so quick, I am in the dark ages with I.T so such a thing to me is "White Man's Magic" for want of a better term.
I only started using forums last year, MR and TGP(TGP first, I didn't know about MR then) but back then I thought I had found what was the English equivalent of TGP and was over the moon. I had no idea things could go that wrong, I guess I am ignorant to how things work on t'internet.
I am wondering now if TGP has suffered the same in the past, I don't know who runs that.
Does it seem like we are not important enough being only mere muso types?
I doubt they'll reopen the forum; they barely got it running in the first place.
I do rather hope that MR reappears, phoenix-like from the internet-dead zone.
'Cos then we can go and grab our content - or as much of it as we can carry - and bring it all back here where we can look after it with the care it deserves.
Re people & names - yup, some have changed their names, either between MR and TEmp Fab's place, or between there and here. Oftentimes because they just didn't like their old name. I was going to change mine too (I was going to sell the car), but MicraTony had too many connotations that I didn't like.
TEmp Fab's place was great at catching people as MR disappeared, but we didn't get them all. Yet. Search parties are out there, peering in all the dark corners and shouting out the names of the missing. If they want to be found, they'll join us. And if they don't want to be found, we should leave them be. We all move on ...
I'll leave you to work out where the loos are ...
@thumpingrug
Why would anyone move back to MR?
I wouldn't want to literally move back.
Like TTony says, it would be handy to do a smash and grab for all your old valued info.
Also maybe to see some who have not moved for whatever reason. If someone doesn't come over then it doesn't mean that they should be fallen out with or banished from ones memory.
I'm not getting a contest going here, I am here for the duration and am comfortably reassured that it is run by better people who give a toss about the community.
Like I said to MQ, you guys who have been here longer than 9 months like me will understand the crap you've had to endure more than I can and I can see why Future are held is disdain.
Peace!

Hi Jooky
I'm a bit thick/Half Cut tonight, I didn't quite work out
" but no, I think a free man in the Independent Republic of FB beats serfdom any day"
I know Serfdom is akin to Slavery and FB may be Facebook, but I,m a bit lost!
