The Contingency Plan/Exit Strategy

rubber soul · 07-17-2022, 05:42 AM

I'm going to take a wild guess and surmise that Advameg isn't losing any money off MB. Otherwise, we'd be gone a long time ago. In the meantime, I don't think we need to have an exodus. Trollheart has already set up a backup if this site ever does go down. So, I guess for now, we just go into wait and see mode.

^ Agree about not making an exodus from here, for the reasons already stated by Marie, TH and rubber soul. It was my impression that TH created thecraic as an alternate place to go if this place goes down (although as mentioned I would be willing to donate if needed in the future and believe that donations should be voluntary).

Yes, ribbons: I agree with you agreeing with Marie, TH and rubber soul !

I'm fine with having a backup option (although paying for an online forum seems a bit preposterous) but i think losing the members who check in occasionally is a serious problem with moving. As far as I'm concerned we just stay here until it dies and then we can move to another option if we want. We could even organise that from the discord when the time has come.

Absolutely times two for the bits in bold. One huge advantage of the "wait and see" tactic is that, as TH has already been farsighted enough to give us an escape route in thecraic, we can all kick back and carry on as previously. Thanks, TH.
