Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

    It's crazy the way the new owners of **website address removed**murdered the site, they made it nessasery for people to have to re-register from scratch and hardly anyone did, now it' a ghosttown

    Is that what happened? I have to say there was one poster there called Siobhanor who was excellent and I'll miss reading her posts.

    Happens to a lot of forums. Magic Mum and Weddings Online went the same way. Used to be hopping and now defunct.

    I always found it clunky and a pain to navigate so was never really on it much.

    It’s like a Ghosttown on there now. I have a quick read of the maybe 1 new post per day and the 2-3 replies. There was a time if you didn’t check it a few times a day you would never catch up. It had quieted a bit before the takeover but now it has just died off.

    A similar thing happened to boards when it was sold and most people that were here over 10years ago will say it's no fun now.
    Once a commercial entity takes over it's generally about trying to find out how to make money, which results in changes ... Some changes are too much for the people and they simply move away.
