I'm gonna try, My, but I don't know how well it will work... If all else fails, I could try to copy and paste, but I bet it's going to copy all of the icons and other things that show in the posts and turn them into nonsense when I paste them... Could be a busy job. I encourage everyone to copy and paste any private messages that you want saved on your own, because even if I figure out a good way to save our forum's history, everyone will be on their own in terms of saving private messages.

I was thinking that for Wiseone and Hobo, we could leave posts about the new forum in the threads they frequent often in case they usually only check the threads they post on. I posted about it in Wiseone's "greeting" thread today, so hopefully that will work.

Okay,I'll try this again.Hello.Hello.Where the heck am I? :arrow:

A slight change of plans. As we get a thread going here I am going to close that thread on the original site. Why wait ? Anyone who comes will find a link to the new site at the end of every topic that is closed. Thank you all for being so gracious during this small trial. I really think we will be much better off in the long run.

I brought my avatar with me. It was too sweet to leave behind. :heart:

But what is with the goat jumping on lion creepy weirdo thing below my avatar?

Your zodiac sign I thought

It took a while but I got it moved over here. Just don't ask how. I may choose something new but I missed having a picture. Thanks TM.

I am here!

Glad to see you Allie

Yeah, they're your Western astrology sign (the Greek/Roman stuff we're used to) and your "year animal" from Chinese astrology. Here's more on the Chinese stuff:

I personally think it's all kind of goofy. It's amazing as history, and I respect what it once meant to the people who developed and practiced and lived by it, but as a modern, predatory National Enquirer/Jerry Springer-esque/900-number scam, it makes my skin crawl. And it's okay in columns of a magazine/newspapers, just for fun, I guess... At least we're keeping the history alive, even if we're distorting it and simplifying it to an embarrassing degree.

OK, you bookworm. LOL!

Is your book still upside down?

I went ahead and dumped the zodiac signs. I didn't much care for them myself.

oh, I thought the rooster was a way of saying you think I'm cocky

I don't need no stinking rooster, I know your cocky. :lol:

:flower:

The new island looks great! You guys are doing a great job!!!

Yes, we have to give time for Wiseone, Hobo & did someone send out an e-mail to Talli?

I am still debating if I wan't to bring over my old avatar or use this one.
Someone said my Garfield + my screen name reminded them of a fat old alley cat.

Allie..YOU"RE NOT A CAT?

I sent a mass email to everyone who was registered on the other site. Of course they have to actually read the email in the address that was provided when they registered there.

One more thing
Back in the early years, there were 12 zodiacal constellations that all astrologers used.
Since, over a 23,000 yr time span we wobble like a top on our rotational axis, things have changed.
We now actually have THIRTEEN zodiacal constellations! The sun, moon and planets all follow that zodiacal path in our skies.
The 13th zodiacal constellation is called Ophiucus (the serpent bearer), and at some point in time, the sun, moon and planets pass through part of that constellation.
BUT astrologers ignore that fact because it wrecks their predictions and natal charts.

Cool Astro, I knew I didn't give a hoot about my "sign". I just didn't know why. I suppose next you're going to tell we that wrestling isn't real

I think it would be awesome to look at the stars with Astro there so he could explain stuff. I can't find any constellations when I look at the stars. And believe it or not I have never looked through a telescope but have always wanted to
