Hello guys!!

Eddie RUKidding - 12-7-2022 at 22:20

Hi polydigm I'm heading over your way today lol

polydigm - 13-7-2022 at 05:49

Right now I’m on a ferry to Rotterdam.

BBP - 13-7-2022 at 06:42

Hurray! Have a good trip you two!

BBP - 15-7-2022 at 19:38

She's gone...

ThreeHeadedMonkey - 15-7-2022 at 21:02

20 years of history thrown in the dumpster. Such a shame.

Plook - 15-7-2022 at 23:00

I made it also thank you again Bonny for giving us a home...:-)

Eddie RUKidding - 16-7-2022 at 08:47

Thanks Bonny made it back from Radalaide - so what you doing in Rotterdam polydigm :drool:

BBP - 16-7-2022 at 10:05

Hope you had a good time there!

I'm very happy to host you all here, if there is anything you need, like forum smileys, sign-up of a friend or if you have other Zappa-related requests, just holler!

Just did :D

What else did you guys salvage?

I saved several screenshots of the What Happened To You Today thread in 2016, and in the massive backup process of the past week, I saved several of my art threads (DuckDuckGoose, Flakes comic), the joke competition with my vest and the 50 Frank Zappa Titles IN One Painting topic. Plus I read through the complete joke page and saved my favorites.

Eddie RUKidding - 18-7-2022 at 03:45

^Thanks Bonny- I have thread page at Musicorum which has saved some one word story and other stuff from the Zappa forum- I posted a screen save on another thread here.

Eddie RUKidding - 18-7-2022 at 22:30

There is still nothing on the Zappa Forum - Bastards :freak:

BBP - 19-7-2022 at 07:19

Over here we say that "Rome wasn't built in one day", and I guess that was true as well for several of the major forum outages. But I am getting withdrawal symptoms...

Eddie RUKidding - 19-7-2022 at 21:04

If it was coming back there would be some sort of plan or announcement as to when and how but to just leave it hanging is very poor - not sure I would go back if it (unlikely) reappears

BBP - 21-7-2022 at 17:22

I"m pretty sure I would, but whether I'd stick around is another thing.

Eddie RUKidding - 21-7-2022 at 20:56

Still nothing there :freak::freak:

Calvin - 22-7-2022 at 20:42

I think it might be a couple of months. But that's just a guess.

Eddie RUKidding - 22-7-2022 at 21:06

Is there going to be anyone left hanging around in a couple of months- I be sipping margarita's up on Bribie Isl in Queensland by then :grin:

BBP - 23-7-2022 at 15:19

It depends on what they have planned - Zappa being a big name it'll attract a new following eventually.

Darn, by now I wish I had saved GZ telling Trendy to shut up. That was gold.

Eddie RUKidding - 23-7-2022 at 21:29

Did Gail post on the Zappa Forum back in the day?

Calvin - 24-7-2022 at 04:43

Not a lot, but some. She was in a chat session once, I said the budget must be a huge factor in determining new releases, and she said "You're goddamn right, Calvin".

I also sent her an email once - a doctor had a website claiming that he cured Frank's cancer, I asked her about it. She inferred that they knew the doctor, but not to take anything he said as truth.




Eddie RUKidding - 24-7-2022 at 05:55

Understood

Sorry I missed this before. My wife Julie and I are on a trip to UK/Europe to visit family in England and France. We’ve also been to Zappanale, hence the ferry to Rotterdam. We’re currently staying in Alençon, visiting various relatives; fifteen so far.

BBP - 1-8-2022 at 16:46

Dad and I cycled past the water mill yesterday and found much to our surprise that it was open! We didn't have any immediate need for flour so we cycled past, but it's good to know we can at least go in there.

BBP - 4-8-2022 at 19:07

Am getting withdrawal symptoms...

Eddie RUKidding - 4-8-2022 at 22:08

Yeah there seems to be no movement at the Zappa Forum

Calvin - 13-8-2022 at 04:44

So, XMB is defunct? So is the software I use for my forum. I didn't realize it until a couple of years ago. I didn't think it would last anyway.
