Hi guys,

Just want to let y'all know, i've just checked Alien Hub. Q has just brought the forum back, the old threads are still there.

Meh, no surprise there, it was obviously the intent all along, until the next time it shuts down without notice, we will always be here nonetheless...

Yes, I just noticed that. Leta sent a message. I like the easy, laid-back atmosphere on AE, but I have to admit, it's nice to see The Hub back, with all those years of posts and memories. There are stories there that I thought were lost forever.

Maybe it will get shut down again. I also wonder if perhaps Q wants to get the forum up and running and once it's at full-speed try to sell it. It would probably be easier to sell an active forum than a forum that has been shut down for a long time.

Either way, I'd be happy to see it go on. I was there for a long time. Kinda like my "baleeber" identity and avatar.

I stand by my original statements about the issue. AE is who came through with life preservers picking people out of the chaos, I mean there are a million excuses that could have been legitimate reasons the site went down, but he told no one when he sank that ship and even topped the insult off with a decadent post about the Queen being Dead.

I'm just saying. That's the only warning anyone got that they were about to lose contact with their friends was That's it's dead. And do you guys know why? Because the spotlight of the whole issue wasn't the community. It was His glory and hubris. Because if the community mattered to him, He would have given people some warning.

He did not. He Legitimately hurt a lot of people.

I don't know about others, but I have no desire to be burned again.

I peeked in, said hi, looked around. It's a weird kind of time capsule, like looking at ghost ship risen from the deep. Everything's where we left it, kind of a creepy internet version of The Mary Celeste.

It's a little cool seeing some of those old threads, and there's a lot of nostalgia, thinking about the discussions we had, the stories we told, the epic debates, the friendships ... but it's also inescapable, the sadness and loss I felt when the site was closed, and all those stories seemed lost forever, and more, the friends I lost contact with. That's what hurt the most.

Alien Expanse and a couple other forums gave a warm welcome to us, as we came flooding in looking for a place to go, although, AE is the only place I still post with any regularity.

Truth is, much as I feel nostalgia for the OLD site that I found way back in 2006, I feel very comfortable at AE, and while it would be cool to see AU/AH become the booming center it once was, I've also moved on, I think. I'm baleeber now. AE has such a relaxed, easy-going community. At my age, I like that, even if I do sometimes miss the invigorating arguments we had before.

I went to AH because the paracast fourms were getting to restrictive.
I found even though it was BIG and active it was not better.
I will not go into other issues but I like it here. Nivek is a great admin.
my wife also feels welcome
this is home for me.
finally I add
Nivek earned my respect.
Q never did.

I got that same email from Leta. The funny part is that for some reason it went straight to spam file. I don't know why. lol

I haven't even checked it out because I pretty much feel the same way as you. Although, I am wondering now if everything is back on Alien Hub. What I mean is are our old accounts still intact? Because if they are I would suggest that a lot of you go there and retrieve your contact info and other stuff you had stored there before it goes under again. I personally didn't have anything stored there so, I won't be going back to look.

If anyone has, Flight's address, do me a favor and send him an invitation to come join us here. He'd be a wonderful addition to our community. That goes for anyone else you can think of if you want to send them invitations. :D

If it went to spam it's likely because she was using a bulk mailer program, and if she has the forum membership email lists then I think Q must have provided her with it which brings up serious privacy concerns...

Was it a direct email from Leta, or was it a notification from the website about a pm? If it was directly from Leta, then she has your email address. If it's from the site, then your email is likely still private, since it's an automated message generated as a notification of a private message.

I have been enjoying reading thru a lot of the old threads.....I agree there was a lot of nostalgia there as I was there almost 11 years.

It was a notification from Alien Hub that Leta started a new conversation with me. So, I still don't understand why it went to spam file.

Honestly, Forums are about Community and content, The only thing people will find at AH is a Zombie corpse from years ago, they have no new content, It's like finding a time capsule to open it only to find a wounded Giraffe.

I can't tell anyone what to do Brother I never would, But Just keep in mind, He dumped you off in the water too, And Didn't care enough to let you know it was a sink or swim situation. Sure time heals all wounds. But if someone ran me over with a car, I wouldn't exactly be excited about that person being back on the road again.


Call me grumpy, but I don't forget being burned. Anyway, the reason I posted is tonights Coast to coast is going to be Good, It's about Aliens, Shows - Coast to Coast AM These are the kinds of Coast's to Coast I listen for :D I can't wait :D

Well said, what was lost in a community after a long shut down like that rarely ever reemerges whole, life moves on and so do people...
