R: "My biggest fear for this site is once the new one is up and running again the users who are posting now may disappear."
W: Depends how loyal members feel to the other place.
I don't know how it is going to turn out. I don't know what things are going to be like a few weeks from now. I may be here. I may be there. I may be in both places. (I suppose I may even be in neither.)
Yes, I do feel a loyalty to the other place. A couple of bad weeks after a few good years is forgiveable. HJ was responsible for setting up a great site, and what was good about the BR owed a lot to him. Yes, my visits made the owners money, but I got it for free, and greatly appreciated it.
Of course, a lot of the loyalty is to the other backroomers, too, and I guess that I'll probably end up going where most of them go.
