Hey everyone.Â
I know I only have like 30odd posts (ok maybe 70odd before that glitch put me back to 0 [just making myself sound more important  ]) but this place means a lot to me.
Â
Everyone seems to respect each other, we have Mods & Admin keeping us safe (as we all know) and most of all, we have somewhere we trust!  Somewhere when we can go when we are 'in need'...of...whatever and know for a fact we will get quality advice.
I definitely do not take this place for granted.
I know I'm probably repeating what has been said by many before me but...
I fear the day I wake up or get home from work and type in www.ioplist.org and get the dreaded "The server cannot be found" message.
Now- I don't know much about why or how websites get shut down, I don't know if it could even happen to this site? I don't know if the website owners/ runners/ Mods/ Admin have it sorted somehow, or its out of their hands, I really have no idea.Â
All I know is we've seen and heard about it happen to other sites and I'd HATE it to happen to this place!
I'm sure we all would!
So back to the topic: "What would happen?"
- I assume some of you would be able to get back in contact with one another, but I'd lose contact with everyone. Also all year invaluable information, it's not even nice to think about.
Maybe I don't know yet because I hadn't reached 50 posts, maybe there is a 'put your email
Address here' thread already started? - like a sort of 'underground bunker' thread for worst case scenario.
Maybe not, IÂ have no idea.
So...What would you do if this site (touch wood) suddenly disappeared?Â
Or is it a stupid question?
