Brief recap,
Laaz paid a fee per month for the site of the old citrus forum. It was a ‘forumup’ site I think. Somebody said the fee was very small. Does that mean Laaz owned the ‘rights’ to the old citrus forum ? Laaz ran , hosted or otherwise had some leadership function in a popular old citrus forum. Laaz had some health problems and lost interest in the forum.
About the same time the forum seemed to blow up. It had very intermittent service, often down for weeks and new members could not get authorized to join or post on the old forum. To me it was like a dead ship in the ocean. Millet was a very active member of the old forum so he initiated contact with the tropical plant people that allowed Millet to start a citrus leg or component here.
Laaz has made a few token appearances in print here but I haven’t seen anything lately. He seems to have lost interest or maybe has other problems.
The new forum (here where you are reading) was started by Millet and it seems to be well received all over the world. Several people in this thread are interested in trying to copy or otherwise make available content they have copied or might be able to copy from the old forum. There are many members that have been on both forums.
I enjoyed the old forum and I am in favor or keeping it available for all to view !
Tom
