Backup gathering should this place go poof

[CarlD]

There's no reason any cannot open a pool site anywhere anytime.

But....

I would forget about porting over posts from PoolForum. You are asking for trouble. But don't worry, if PoolForum goes down and people move over there, very similar information will very quickly appear.

I also would change things to be organized as YOU want them, not a Ben wants them. Its look should reflect you, not Ben. Forums and how they are grouped should reflect what works for you. Not that there's anything wrong with it here, but if you have forum rarely used, then roll it into another. You can always open it again. I would also drop ALL references to PoolForum.com so it doesn't look like you are "skimming" members.

I learned what I know here, from Ben et al, so this is my preferred place to be. If it dies, somehow, that's another story.

It's also very flattering that you are offering us moderators the opportunity to moderate for you as well. But, for now, I must decline your generous offer. As long as PoolForum is running, I'm here. And, if the situation here changes, you may already have all the mods you need.

Other pool sites have posted their address here from time to time, but they are usually connected to a product or a business. And, unless they follow the rules, they then get banned. I don't what that to happen to you since you are building a backup site.
