Yeah, really sucks that a TSX [site] just closes like that, but I'm glad I found you guys.....
Big big welcome, tradsf! Thrilled that you found us.
As you probably know, a lot of us were originally on Club TSX. The site was really hopping last spring, then there was a crisis in July which made almost everybody leave (or get banned), and that basically ended the site. It still muddled along after that, but nothing like what it had been.
I still took a look at it now and then, and, so I actually "know" you from there. It's great that you found this site. I've been hoping that after the site finally "died" last week, some of the regulars might find us. If you have a way of contacting any of the others, I hope you will!
Just like you say, it's bad that a site would just end. In fact, the fear of that was basically what triggered the "crisis" last July. There were various other underlying issues, but the thing was, those other issues made us doubt the commitment and reliability of the administrators, and so we (especially I) were worried that the site might just end, without warning. So, we (mostly I) started asking questions to get a better idea about this, and the next thing we knew, a lot of people were getting banned, and so most of the other members decided they would leave too.
On this site, there doesn't seem to be any such concern. The admins are involved and active, and, unlike on Club TSX, you get straight answers from them. It's very, very different.
P.S. I enjoyed seeing how I kept getting trash-talked on Club TSX long after I left.....
