After VBB saying that Maya can't find this site and Bunny telling me that she searched and searched for it and couldnt find it, I think this place has gone beyond a joke.
I know people are busy and can't always find the time to post, which of course is fair enough, but if people cant find us when they want to, its a bit of a waste of time. I have recently started posting on another forum which, to be honest, is much nicer to post on. Im not technically minded at all, but this other forum is easier to read, has nicer smilies and skins and I do wonder if there is any point keeping posting on this one. Are we ever going to get any new members if people cant find us easily?
I mean, no offense, but where the f*ck is Tiggerwoos? Does she want to continue with the admin of this site? If she doesnt, why doesnt she pm one of us and we can do it. Pob and I are not particularly busy at the moment, although hoping that will change soon.
Can people please post their opinions about this. Maybe we could make ourselves a better forum, or all shuffle over to NakedVegan or something.

I do agree to a point.
Although I do like that the people here are 'real' friends, and, particularly the fast chat area, there is stuff that is private and only read by the people here that we trust.
I dont have much time, but I am willing to help with the admin here if needs be, if it was shared between 2 or 3 of us i'm sure it wouldnt be too much of a burden??

Nooooo Jamie, you are busy! Im not busy at the moment, so I dont mind doing it if someone could figure out why no one seems to be able to find it (I dont understand all that).
Yeah, you are right about the private area.

Hmmm. I just did a google search for 'everythinvegan' and it came up as the first entry so its still findable. But you obviously need to be looking for it.
It was recommended in one of the vegan cookbooks but that led to the previous info based front page which has since died as I think Tiggerwoos stopped keeping up the domain name (acc to prev discussions on here I think).
I did offer to take it over from TW a while back but that was mainly for the purpose of hastily recruiting more mods with a view to then palming it off on someone else but I never got a response. Then of course the madness took hold and I had to give up modding altogether.
Maybe its worth contacting TW via myspace or somesuch? I'm not really in a position to help out admin wise atm I'm afraid.
On a brighter note it does seem to have perked up a little recently.

It's easy to find if you search for "everythingvegan", but not so easy if you search for "everything vegan".
Proboards isn't as good a forum software as the likes of vBulletin and phpBB (IMO), as it tends to end up placing too much emphasis on the most popular thread. Hence we all post in one thread, most of the time.
Another option would be to move the forum to another free hosting package, pay for the domain (which isn't a huge cost), and point it there. I'm not sure if the posts can be ported across, but if it could, that might be an alternative.

It does have a slightly weird thing that occasionally goes on. After I'd googled it (cos I didn't know it had moved) I logged on merrily, clicked "forever" and then couldn't get on again the next day - even via a bookmark. I had to "clear private data" and all that jazz before I could get back on.
*is puzzled*
It would be good if you could be emailed when there's new posts so you could go flying over and look.
*feels bad about posting, when haven't posted for a million years*

I've been spending time over at Post Punk kitchens, the food porn section is fantastic! The people seem dead on too, once you get used to the inhouse sarcasm and their American ways. Suppose I really should mosy over to NakedVegan if that's where you're all hiding out.

Now this board has started linking to a proboards advert site when I click on links. It takes two attempts to get where I want

Which links? The board has been very slow this evening, but the links haven't gone to adverts for me.

I sent you a Pm welcome Fezz.. on naked vegan did you get it ok?. Yes I did thank you. I'm not sure about the technology or etiquette yet, are those private messages or is a little public welcome bit? If it's public do people reply? lol I wrote puplic instead of public the first time, I'm pup on the brain! ;D
