This hacking experience has been quite a nightmare and it would be nice to see some people make posts here so I know a few things...

* You can actually access our forums and make posts
* You haven't given up on BookTalk due to frustration

I'm here. :)

A good many other boards I post on have all gone to php and it seems to have worked out pretty well. Sorry, I'm not the admin on any of those sites, so I don't have the details.

I'm here. I sure missed this board. It took a long time to load, don't know if that was because of my server, my old Dell laptop or my wireless modem. I'll try later on the desktop and see if things are any faster.

OK, now we're popping along just fine., only a minute later. Maybe it was ezboard itself. Stuff is loading instantly like it usually does.

I'm glad to see this board back, it was the only one I couldn't access at all, initially.

I'm here.

I'd love to start writing about the book I'm currently reading to clarify my thoughts and maybe get some feedback. When can I start posting in the additional books forum again? Or can I make a temporary thread here before it's too late and the info drains from my brain?

I'm here Chris. I know a few boards that are moving to phpbb. Personally, I don't have a problem with staying on ezboard. This hasn't happened before and they're working to make sure it doesn't happen again. But if anyone has reason to leave, you do. Of all the boards I've seen, this one was hit the hardest. The board I admin lost a few (hundred) posts, but (for the most part) we've moved on. What really helped us was that the board was always accessable. Sorry I didn't respond to your email but I was dealing with my own ez-crisis :(

Hrm, I seem to be here again.

Chris, last time I came past I got the 'you have been banned from this community' page. It did surprise me, but c'est la vie. However, as I'm still receiving the admin emails I thought I'd pop through in the wake of last week's mess in my circuit of all the boards I visit.

Just touching base, if you will. If I'm not supposed to be here, please delete this. Cheers. :)

ASS II, while there's no place like home.

Mad, I for one hope you are not abandoning us completely, because I enjoy your posts.

So you will not be having internet at all in your house? Geez, you'll be productive as all get out, because the internet can certainly be addictive, but.....

I am here, too. How can you people live without high speed internet? My father recently told me that we were not on the list of acceptable places to go unless we had wireless internet in the house. High speed goes without saying in my family.

It actually hasn't been that bad. I'm finally finding all sorts of time to both read and write at home, and having the library time limit forces me to better organize my online time. And the upshot for you guys: shorter messages per capita!
