If my memory is correct, today is the last day to view entries of the old Squalor Survivors forum. Yes?
( huge sigh )

It's already July 1st in Nelson, NZ where Pigpen is: www.wunderground.com/global/stations/93546.htmlAs of the time of this post, the whole SS website is down. Pigpen recently posted to her LiveJournal blog that she's having problems with her laptop. She took it back to have it looked at; they want her to set it back to 'factory settings'. Not quite sure what that is. Then she said they said it may have to go back to Acer in Australia, if changing the factory settings doesn't work. She is, understandably, annoyed. She has indicated on multiple occasions that she was only taking down the forums and not the whole website altogether, so I imagine the whole site being down is due to some other technical difficulties as well. |

I was thinking the same thing, not realizing the time difference. Still wasn't enough time. I hope others collected their very wise posts and will share that wisdom here again. I wanted to go back and look at those Listzilla color-themed cleaning/tossing posts that someone here had referred to recently (and posted links). And, yes, every time I checked, the whole site has been down today.

I've had intermittent access lately. I missed the end time. sigh. I had managed to get some of my more important threads copied -- but I kept trying to get some of the Inga Rea stuff, & the site would never cough them up. And Lumi? So much treasure, gone.
I miss the old site. I do. Forgive me, but even visually it was more conducive.
As for Pigpen's LiveJournal blog -- I can't really access anything on LiveJournal, either. Jeesh! Help me, someone?
Love, hh

Little_Ninja, there is at least one moderator who would not have made insensitive remarks had you posted a reminder that the end of June (and thus the SS boards) was approaching. I doubt that the others would have either. ETA: Actually, now that I'm thinking of it, we probably would have stickied it. Hm. Especially if you had mimicked a countdown feature, and changed the topic every day to reflect the number of days left. Hmmm... That's something I'll have to keep in mind the next time I'm dealing with an online transition like this. The other way this could have worked really well was if you had formatted it as a month-long challenge. Week one: harvest your own posts through the "my forums" link. Weeks two-four, find other notable posts, asking for help if need be. hopehope, if you haven't already, please sign up for a livejournal account and then join TOSS Siblings. Once you've done that, you can post to TOSS Siblings, and we'll deal with your questions there. |

- Message for HopeHope:I can't really access anything on LiveJournal, either. Jeesh! Help me, someone? The problem is that you have a Live Journal account, but have not joined Toss_Siblings. LiveJournal is a vast blogging/journaling network of a gazillion people. Toss_Siblings is a private desqualoring community WITHIN LiveJournal that requires its own membership access. You already do have a LiveJournal account that is active. But your name there is NOT "hopehope", because that name had already been taken long ago -- by someone else at LiveJournal -- one of the LiveJournal network's gazillion members. That other "hopehope" person joined LiveJournal way back in 2006. You therefore chose a different LiveJournal name -- and posted the name of it on the Squalor Survivors forums -- right before the forums froze in June. I saved the name of it. I am going to send you a private message (here at "Stepping Out of Squalor) to tell you the name of your Live Journal account (in case you don't want it broadcast to the general public.).
I know you like step-by-step instructions, so I'll include info in my private message to you (on how to join Toss-Siblings). Angelina did tell you the right info. It's easy once you know how, but it did take me a while to learn how myself.
To find your private message box here at Stepping Out of Squalor, look at the very top of your screen after you've logged in here. It says "Hey hopehope, you have X# of messages, and X# are new."
If you click on the number of messages, it will take you to your PM mailbox. Hugs, Lioness - |

Okay, I've been wondering where Illuminada and Inga Rea are. It seems from hopehope's post that they left SS some time ago?

Okay, I've been wondering where Illuminata and Inga Rea are. It seems from hopehope's post that they left SS some time ago?  Hi eaglesflight! Regarding Inga_Rea: Toward the end of January, or maybe the beginning of February ... Inga_Rea decided to take a leave of absence from online communities. Inga is doing fine. I talk to her on phone every couple of months. She knows the forums have moved. She is currently sticking by what she decided back in January or February ... to be more involved with real-life people, and less involved with online communities. Not many people realize that Inga lurked and read daily -- for a few years, before she ever posted. Then she posted daily for maybe one-and-one-half years after she joined. She needed to break from that -- to find balance. She does go online for her workplace job duties -- but otherwise, she's cut way back from the internet. She would rather focus on living life in the real world ... and she really is LIVING. I don't know if Inga will ever come back to posting with us or not. She told me on phone that she is maintaining her clear areas and continuing to clear more, and has done some renovations to make her place look great. So she seemed to be doing fine. It's been a while since we've spoken on the phone, but I think she's probably still fine. -- Regarding Illuminata: The first week in January, 2008, my apartment was inspected. I had a long thread on Squalor Survivors about this. Illuminata's last post was on my inspection thread. She hadn't been posting very often. I kept wondering how she was and checked the Squalor Survivors stats to see when she'd last posted, and it kept showing the same thing. The date of that thread was the first week in January 2008. I don't know how she's doing, as she hadn't posted after that. - |
