Are we talking about Shanny? For years she was trying to get to like Paraguay, did that ever come off? I remember her once trying to sell me her plot of land in east Texas that last I heard she was headed to, to get away from Oklahoma and the hubby.
Newfie wrote:Yes Shanny, could not remember the name, not unusual, I need to check my drivers license once in a while! LOL
I was there until the end I guess. She was trying to make the Texas joint habitable for her and kid(s?) Having a tough time. Eventually she just quit managing the board and it died.

Just having new forum software with more modern features like the ability to LIKE a post would be good.
It's just the way it is, it feels like a mausoleum especially the ancient (and oftentimes creepy) photos in "Peak Oil is You".

This forum has been hijacked by a few whose sole purpose is to belittle anyone that believes in Peak Oil, rather than engage in constructive debate. Anyone who mentions oil depletion and the peaking of the oil supply is ridiculed. No wonder this site is nearly dead. I for one cannot be bothered to read the abuse given out and am even less willing to receive the puerile comments if my comments are not in line with the mob of peak oil deniers. Perhaps expunging those who make offensive comments would be a step in the right direction.
The loss of The Oil Drum was a moment to rejoice for the mob, now they are trying their damnedest here.

Here are the sad facts. We have 34,952 registered users as of today. Of that pool of potential 6 persons visited between midnite and the time of this post.
That kind of says it all, we are desperately low on participation. If each of you goes out and recruits just a single new member we will double our participation rate.
