GUYS DON'T WORRY. DON'T WORRY GUYS I'M BACK.

I feel like that scene in Beerfest where the team just got told they were going to lose everything, and Landfill is drinking a beer in the brewery and having flashbacks of the good ol' times.

Everyone that hates me was right: I legit was not SHIT without this forum. Divorce, got fired, developed chemical dependencies. It was bad.

Wow. I am stoked that this is back online. Was really sad when I saw the database error when I tried following one of my bookmarks.

We missed you too asshole.
Really thought you would be one to blame Biden over it too.

I feel like you should sue West for emotional damages.

I got a picture but I can't upload it.

I just realized that the forum went down like a week after I sent my letter to West.

It was my fault, guys.

everything in this thread has been about the unresponsiveness of the domain owner.

what i am suggesting is creating a new forum entirely. it seems that there are people here willing to contribute money and time to run it. also seems to be a few (myself included) IT folk here that see how easy of a solution this would otherwise be.

just a thought. i, like many here, have been on zilvia for +15 years or something crazy. the community relies too heavily on a platform as unstable as zilvia has become - and i think WE (as a community) are starting to realize that.

I mean where else am i going to be able to improperly diagnose my knocking for VCT noise?
Great concept in theory. I've got a backup of the database ready to go even. That said, there's no way I can both transfer the userbase in terms of accounts and disseminating the knowledge of the new location. Any new forum would be forced to start from scratch in those terms, and while I'm confident I could get a majority of the regulars (and 100% of my close circle), the majority of zilvia users would be deprived of this new source, and would only find it by word of mouth, hopefully.

Given how popular reddit and FB groups are, getting users to frequent a forum seems a frightful prospect.

With that said, I've had a new domain (and subsequent socials) registered for the last year or two. I've been planning for this. I'm trying my damnedest to keep Zilvia original and alive, but failing that - I've got a plan.

I got here about a year after it was fairly active, after dragging my feet and at Grant's request. At the time, FreshAlloy was the jam and I was shitposter supreme there. I then got mistreated and found a new home.

Love this site. I have been on here since I have had my 240 and it's been over 10 years. if there is anything I can do to help the community I would love to, I'm a project engineer and I know my networking well.

just putting it out there, i moved several of my forums over to discourse.

yes we pretty much lost most of the traffic/accounts but that was already the case because of FB where we still have lots of activity.

even though i dont post here much i still do come by once a month or so and i would like to see zilvia last indefinitely. I would be happy to contribute in some way to make that happen. i was born on zilvia in university (more than 20 years ago... holy FFF) and it has significnat sentimental value.
