Pete_C Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Dont know if its gone but I found my way here! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>They let me know this morning that it was scheduled to be closed today.May be lucky and have it open for one more day, but it is going.That was my big reason for sticking it out there, and I doubt I will be there much after that. Being a moderator was tough and I am almost glad to put that behind me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete_C Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hopefully , most of those who will miss the board will see it. I posted on the AOTS board since they may look there and it should remain there , although once I get demodded they will probably lock it. Others, well there is always email.

murtu52 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'm gonna head over to G4 and PM a mod there to see if we can "borrow" the stickies for besttechie. I'm sure they'll have no problem....EDIT: I just copied (and added link tags, etc) to G4's recommended links, tips, etc. stickie. It took a long time, but I managed to finish it. I contacted a mod at G4 (mlegg510) and asked him if I could post it here, so I guess i'll have to wait.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well, I would like to give a whole hearted welcome to you folks!! I've lurked at G4 since its TTV days but never joined. You don't know me, but I feel I know all of you! Have a look, you'll see a lot of familiar faces, jump in, check out open chat (soooo much better than that off topic place at G4) I'll put some extra recliners and peanut butter cookies in the Cafe. *hugs to all*Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fbelzile Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hello fellow G4'ers! It's sad that the forum is going down but hopefully more people are going to join here.Well, I'm sad that the Tech Support forum is going down because it was my favorite and I had lots of good friends there. We will all have to start from scratch with a 0 post count. For here, this is my first post. At G4 this would have been my 2116th.I'm looking forward with starting fresh here and making new friends but nothing will be like the Tech Support forum at G4.I'll see you all here.

Falcon1986 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I made it. I'm still getting my bags unpacked. Hmmm! The new place looks pretty good.[sniff]But I'll miss home...Just a couple of minutes ago (2:08pm EST) the G4 Tech Support board was still working. Now that I'm here I'm perusing the threads. It's amazing the amount of people who migrated! I'm recognizing some of you guys from your avatars. Good!Don't forget home, though. I will keep visiting the G4.ca forums where the Call For Help Canada board is to continue offering assistance and asking for it when necessary.Somehow, I feel as if Besttechie.net is for tech support pros and I feel like a noob! Hahaha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bar5 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Welcome To AllKick back and enjoy. This is a real nice place. Take a look around and you will see some familiar names from TTV. You will probably recognize more than you think.Bring all your friends. The more the merrier. Visit BestTechie Cafe for some coffee and donuts and some friendly chat.We have a mixture of real knowledgeable people and some noobs (me). We hope you enjoy your stay and make it your permanent Tech home.Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
