Thanks Yanpa, "next couple of weeks" is what I wanted to know.

It appears that that the FG forum is up and running fine.

Is there any reason to still keep the "under construction" front page?

[Coligny]

Hmm OK thanks, but as FG.com brings me an income of precisely 0 yen, not sure I can justify the additional (albeit minor) expense.

[Coligny]

no probs, let's keep it this way...

Thanks for keeping us going when we needed it, Hammer! Mothballed, or stripping it down and selling it for parts?

Yeah, sorry about the abrupt and unannounced closure. You are one of a total of about three people who might notice ... And even then it took almost a week.

Way too much overhead for something that gets used so little, so I've mothballed her until I decide what to do. Might be back with a slightly different direction at some point, but right now I'm kind of overloaded so it won't be for a while.

FG.com is stable, so there's no great need or rush.

Whoops! Yet another reminder that if I want to have access to information forever I should keep it myself. There has been more than one time that I have searched for stuff that I was sure was on FG, and it turned out to be on Expat Cafe during the shadow days of FG hiatus. I join Mike in extending my thanks.

I log in everyday, but the window saying it's suspended look exactly like the "no new posts" windows, to which I go directly through bookmark (http://www.expat-cafe.com/bbs/search.ph ... d=newposts), so I didn't register that fact...

Maybe I missed it, but I swear just a couple days ago the sign wasn't there. More likely a bit foggy when surfing by.

Wagyl makes a good point. Maybe the data could be available in a sub, sub-forum here for those on the private sub-fg. There is some pretty decent info that should be preserved for future mini-generations of fucked-expats.

Thanks for all the hard work Hammer.

And yes, at some point all of our brain farts ought to be saved to some hysterical resource like Archive.org for posterior (sic).
