THE FUTURE OF THIS WEBSITE (Announce)

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the response.

I do believe sending out an email to all users would be an acceptable thing to do and, under the circumstances, should be done. If there is a chance the site will close down then I think all users should be made aware of that. Another forum I frequent uses My Little Forum and does send out emails to all users sometimes so I guess there is a way of doing it. Also, generally speaking, emails can be configured so bounced emails don't come back to you but genuine replies will. Of course, it depends on what the software allows you to do.

I did write more but have deleted it. I suspect the last thing you require at the moment is people throwing ideas at you. But, as we seem to be on a sinking ship, I think all possibilities need to be considered, even splitting the site up if that enables the data to be saved and made available in the future. That, surely, has to be the priority, rather than whether the site remains in its present form.
