The server greenspun.com, which is this forum's current home, is being taken off line. Luckily, Philip Greenspun and the photo.net full-timers are working on a way to assimilate our forum into the photo.net service. Our forum will live! I received word today that this should all take place after the holidays some time. I will continue to be the forum moderator. They will provide me with a heads-up notice shortly before the transfer.

Yea.

-- jeff voorhees (debontekou@yahoo.com), December 12, 2001.

Good news, so we made the big time jump to photo.net.(would have been ashame for this site and all the archived messsages to bite the dust). One question, Can we request not to be included in the "unified forum" if they were planning on grouping us in there?

-- Andrew Schank (aschank@flash.net), December 12, 2001.

This is very good news, Tony - thanks once more!

-- Lutz Konermann (lutz@konermann.net), December 12, 2001.

Any idea as to how the change will be accomplished and what subscribers will need to do?

-- Steven Alexander (alexpix@worldnet.att.net), December 12, 2001.

Tony, my thanks, my compliments from Leicaland. Best Leica forum here, best Leica forum anywhere!

Keep up the good work. We all need you!!

-- Michael Kastner (kastner@zedat.fu-berlin.de), December 12, 2001.

Thanks Tony - please keep us updated all the way.

-- Giles Poilu (giles@monpoilu.icom43.net), December 12, 2001.

Andrew: No idea yet on how we will be placed within photo.net.

Steven: No info on that, either. I do know that when our forum is part of photo.net, you will have to "log in" with email address and password in order to make posts. The photo.net system supports cookies, so you'll only have to log in once for each computer/browser you use to access photo.net.

Thank´s Tony, and Greenspun Family!!!

Thanks from me too, Tony. I hope this terrific forum will continue to be as successful and lively on its new server.

-- Ray Moth (ray_moth@yahoo.com), December 12, 2001.

Thanks for the heads up, and hopefully things will continue in the future with regards to this (and other) forums. Tony, you've done a great job, and of course we all have Phil to thank for letting us have this arena to blather on about all things Leica and photographic.

-- Dave Doyle (soilsouth@home.com), December 13, 2001.

Well done, Tony!!

Hope we get our own spot in photo.net, instead of being swept into some other q&a board.

Thank you Phil Greenspun.

-- Mani Sitaraman (bindumani@pacific.net.sg), December 13, 2001.

My thanks as well, Tony.

-- Mike DeVoue (karma77@att.net), December 13, 2001.

Absolutely brilliant news, Thank you Tony for your great efforts, we all are in your debt.

-- David Seaman (Lincolnshire,England) (david@leicam.freeserve.co.uk), December 13, 2001.

Amen to all of the above. Glad the Leica Forum isn't being consigned to the internet dumpster.

Good news for all!

-- Steve Hoffman (shoffman2@socal.rr.con), December 13, 2001.

Thank you Tony!..............

-- Muhammad Chishty (applemac97@aol.com), December 13, 2001.

Thank you Tony! I learned alot from this forum and this wonderful group of Leica users. Come to Hong Kong and I'll buy you a tall Tsingtao!

-- ray tai (razerx@netvigator.com), December 13, 2001.

Tony, it's me again. Just a word to supplement Ray's. About 99% of everything I've learned about Leica M stuff has come from this forum. The remainder comes from the bank.

To you and yours a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

Mike

Don't forget to thank Phil Greenspun who will be hosting this forum at his photo.net server at his own expense and at no cost to us.

Hi, Tony:

I had been somewhat more busy than usual lately at my main job, the one that pays my bills (and my family's . . .) so that I hadn't came across this posting until today. But I think I'm still on time to thank you for your great job here and Phil too for housing us. And to wish you both wonderful Seasons !

Thanks again and regards !

Happy Holidays to all!
