What happened?
Wowee, I hope I've found the right place here! I have no idea what happened to the old forum, it just vanished!
Well no matter, I've found my way here, still muddling through. Still growing my hair out, and hey, I hit a new "first" tue other month, I dyed my hair for the first time. I've gone from black to a dark brunette. So not a massive change, but one I'm proud of. And it hides those pesky insistent greys!

Glad to have ya here.
The old place ran into the new EU laws, and they couldn't adjust, so poof the forums were just closed.
But Celia has retained the feel and flavour for us.

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the Government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it is all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag.

New EU laws?
Yes, their are new data laws that have wrecked a lot of the net. Little wonder the UK and Norway wants little to do with the EU. Unfortunately, both Norway and the UK have to comply because the UK is officially still in for a few months yet and Norway is in EFTA, a kinda Euro-lite that accepts many rules. Celia xx

Can you point me to the Eu law(s) that forced the closure of some of the blogs?

The UK will continue to mirror the GDPR into the future. If fact if anything the UK regulator is more inclined to pursue companies that break the rules than other countries. So no use blaming the EU this time.

As for tgboards, I do feel the ship was abandoned rather prematurely. I can't help feeling there were other reasons too.
After all this site is just fine.
As for Brexit the wheels seem to falling off that particular bus particularly the big red £350 million one.

Re: What happened?
Well Marie, you may be right, but I'm not sure the UK would want to burden business with these data laws, especially a Tory government. But that's by the by, it's happened and the tg owner made a decision and that was her choice.
I voted remain in the referendum, but like everyone, I want clarity as does every other person living here. Either be in or be out, coz dipping a half baked toe in the EU pond outside EFTA is not good, businesses need to be told exactly where the UK will be this time next year, but there are clouds of fudgey fudge fudge all over it!
I would have preferred another referendum just to clarify whether the UK wants to be economically linked, but that's probably too late now! It's typical British mismanagement, marmalising the whole process into a politically messy smörgåsbord.
I think if any other country had voted to leave they would have sorted it out by now and left, promoting their own interests and getting on with it. Nobody has a clue what's going on! I think the Norway government and the Swiss have it right, the UK should join them in EFTA, if there's not another referendum.

Re: What happened?
I think it was needed particularly now as we see many of the big tech companies were taking the pee gathering all sort of data on us. It was long overdue. I really don't think they were ever after the little forums out there. It was the microsofts and the facebooks.
As for Brexit yes it is a 'marmalising the whole process into a politically messy smörgåsbord' type situation. Not helped by Tory right wing fundamentalism and a bizarre harking back to the supposed good old days which never existed. The Brexiteers attitude that 'it will all work out in the end' is not an actual solution. World War two worked out in the end but there were a lot of casualties before it was over. Meanwhile the Labour oppostion is seemingly intent on turning Britain into a kind of Cuba off the coast of Europe.
It's all bizarre and very un British I must say.

Re: What happened?
took me 2 weeks of wondering what had happened before using the wayback machine to find the closure post(s) and eventually make my way here.
