I'm planning to disable the old forum completely, it will run for another month before turning off, I believe. Should I do it now or at the end of March?

Answers, on a postcard, to the usual address...

Will links to it (and people's old bookmarks) then lead to just a single page, with a link to here? It would be a shame if there were just a 404 error, though people who know how to use Wayback Machine could find the one with the redirect message, I guess, if it has been crawled by now. And there's no point paying to host a page that does nothing. I just don't want long-lost people to not be able to come back - I have been on many forums where I forget them for a few years then regain my enthusiasm for the music/series/books or whatever they cover...

I know, that's why I've been keeping it open. It doesn't cost anything to leave the ghost forum on the old site so I can just leave it there until the host gets sick of it. They're pretty disengaged so I can't imagine they'll notice, tbh!

Been absent for 2023 until now for various reasons. Just found link to this new platform/server. Great job in the lifting and shifting of the old content
