Yeah, I was sad to see everyone leave here to go over there. They've got a history, ya know?

And I am even more suspicious of the lack of maintenance and attention being shown there given the fact that BT just got considerable positive publicity (as did this board) through the Neurology Now article. I imagine due to that more people are trying to find BT and join it, as they are here--it IS almost as if membership is being indirectly (not overtly) discouraged.
I wonder if the power that is there would rather see BT fade (as other projects are being worked on that hold more interest), but if an outright shutdown was attempted, there would be too much outcry/bad publicity, so the way to do it is to weed people out by making the site difficult to use, until no one posts there any more and the site can be shut down quietly. |

I too have been having problems with BT for the past 2 days. Very slow loading, and very slow opening of the pages.
Certainly hope that it doesn't go down again. Marilyn |

Well, I can't get it to work at all, at all! For me it's not just slow, it's glacial.
I hope more old friends from BT find their way here, now, like cheryl. Not that I knew cheryl on OBT, (my loss, I'm sure) since I mostly posted and read on the MG forum there, but NT has a wonderful way of making us all friends, right? Cheryl, who are Buttons and Joy? I look forward to meeting them. Hugs,

I frequent both sites, there are some here who would not go back to BT. I think many of us felt a loyalty to BT and now, they are just showing us what our loyalty stood for. Nothing is the same there anymore. I used to enjoy the chatroom, now I rarely go there, just as many never go there. It's very secretive on BT, you aren't allowed to know who the moderator's are which is unheard of in most forums. Why the secrets? I wish everyone would make their home here.

BT is moving for a summer off, like last year? LOL
Seems to me the slowing down started around spring and early summer last time. I finally got Forums home to load, and 8 members were signed on, with about 80 guests. Those 80 must be very patient souls!

My guess...those 80 are spammers. I see "guests" at CF, some are googlebots/searchbots, some are spammers/spambots, some are real people.

The last time we discussed moving somewhere else, Cara had brought up the really good point that a lot of people with neurological/brain and other disorders are more easily exposed to the possibility of food alterations helping them in a forum like this, where that type of people can collect with all kinds of 'afflictions'.
That said, I do think Al is right about something that we control... but we have that don't we... Al, isn't this place yours?--http://www.celiacforums.com/index.php I like having two gs homes on the net, honestly... and I just went in to Al's this weekend and it's really booming! So, that said, I'll still be posting here because I agree with what Cara said about being able to reach people who otherwise wouldn't consider a gluten free lifestyle... but at Al's too for the company and freedom of expression that is available there. (I don't appreciate the lack of editing ability here either.)

However, just for fun, I recently setup a board - just as an experiment. That can be found here: www.gfnavigator.org/forum/. There's nothing really there yet. I needed space for my disney pix, so I got my own domain and webspace. The discussion board software I used is free. Vbulletin costs about 80.00 per year. Hosting costs about 5.00 per month. This is a "home" [ie small] type package, so a larger one would cost more. The database at gfnavigator can only hold 100mb. Here's the little web page I put up just for fun too...www.gfnavigator.org/ As far as outreach...I'll expound on that later...gotta work
