ForumAdvertiser - Closed? Discuss.

[Midnight]

I feel really sad that it has gone, Ive also just remembered with FA cam the islandforum which was also a great place, I wish you a great future theezy and hope you get the internet back on and start FA again as it really was, a magical place. Good luck and most of all... thankyou

 

[theboss]

its closer alright =/

 

[HB.]

Thanks all (well the one's who werent jerks). Ive been thinking about this decision for weeks now as I knew it was coming. I must have written that offline letter 100 times before I was satisfyed with what it said. I wasn't in this for the money so selling it wasnt an option. To respond to something someone said:
"why still close something that you've put your life and soul into?"
Well that is why I closed it, I put a lot of effort into it and I would like for the forum to be remembered with its great legacy instead of crumbling to the ground after I left, not saying that would happen exactly but you get what I am saying. I have enough stress in my life at the moment and things arent getting any better. Leaving the forum open, selling it, or giving it away would just be one more thing to think about. Not only that but running a forum of that magnitude, it seems like there is more drama/stress than pleasure. I am happy with my decision and I am at peace with a couple luxuries in my life going away. The internet for example.. Its very addicting. It almost feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. No more magic box sucking hours out of my day any more. lol.
Its sad that its happened but I can see the positives in it as well.

I know I wasn't very active over the past few weeks, but I'm sorry to hear about FA closing. I totally understand where you are coming from, and respect your decision. If you ever change your mind, I'd be more then happy to host you for free, and as for the internet...well I could get you hooked up with broadband internet for free too. 😉

all the merrier for forumpromotion!
but yea, its a shame. remember kids, stay in school! get a job, and you wont have to worry about losing your internet.

Do you think the world works like that?

Only because you get a get a good education and get a job doesn't mean that you are immune from financial troubles and losing internet access. Anyone can lose a job can't they? Any one could have something come up that requires alot of money like in theezy's case can't they? Even if you were making $100,000 a year, it doesn't mean that you will never have money worries in your life. Anyone can lose a job or something.

Theezy, i know you and I haven't seen eye to eye all the time but It is sad news to see that FA has closed down and i do hope that in the future it can be reopened when you get things sorted. Offline problems should always take priority over online issues and anyone with a braincell would choose to give up a forum and internet access if they were in your position.

Thanks for the offer HB. however I have never been one to rely on other people for things. I like to be self sufficient but I will think about that. Email me if you want to chat sometime.

As for everyone else, no need to sympathize for me. Ive always been a strong person and have made it through even worse times. I will be alright. 🙂

Ive only had a computer and the internet for two years. In those two years I became a success, too bad things dont work out like that for me in the real world. Lol
It wont be that hard to adjust to not having one judging by the fact that I havent had one during 95% of my life. Once my internet gets cut off, the computer is going in a box and being stuck in the closet so I dont have to think about it. Lol.

aww, it's really sad FA has shut down. I didn't really believe tayne when he told me. I was shocked when I found out it was true.

Of course foruming doesn't comes first, and after reading what you said, I think you did the right thing.

Good look in life. :sad:

Theezy, I Have discussed this topic with a few of the former staff, Monstroose, Madyy, Wednesday... ect.
We might reopen FA, under a new host, if that is alright with you, we won't use the original name "Forum Advertiser" we might use another.

We need your permission though, and what do you think about this.
We have been discussing this on montrooses not open to the public yet forum, about 20 FA members have been helping out.

 

[Nebulous]

Why would you need my permission to start a new forum? Knock yourselves out. 😛
A different name for it would be good though.

Also wednesday, if you read this.. Send me an email hun.

I've also got a promotion forum in the works now... and it should be a very fun ride.

Now see what you did theezy? You go and leave us with a boost of brand new promotion sites 😀

May the best site be FP's newest competition!

 

[ZBA]

Thats a real shame. I just registered 🙁

 

[aka ibebak]

Well!
Hopefully Mine will be!
I have the original FA Staff at my Side!

 

[Nebulous]

Now see what you did theezy? You go and leave us with a boost of brand new promotion sites 😀

Like I said in another thread:

Do you think now FA is closed there is more chance for new promotion forums?

I think so. FP needs an arch nemesis in order to be FP. Who will step up to the plate? :lol:

 

[ℓєσ gнσѕт]

@Connor+
Great to hear :]

I'll be having as much new staff as possible. I rather train a new group of people to do everything the same at once, more streamlined and more efficient.

We're hoping to roll open and start serving users' promotion needs by the end of next week 😉

 

[aka ibebak]

We are working on getting a paid hosting service for free tomorrow, and we are deciding on PhpBB3 or SMF, Good Luck Leo!

@Theezy! I will miss you and FA! Thanks for helping me with getting members and making the experience great! Best of Luck to you in the future! Let me Know when you get the internet back! [email protected]

Bye!

 

[Nebulous]

Just in case anyone is wondering, my avatar was placed at every forum I visit as a clue to FA's demise. It was supposed to symbolize me moving on from forums / the internet.
I wonder if anyone put two and two together or not? 😛

 

[aka ibebak]

I have not really...
Theezy PM me if you want the link to montys site, so you can say good bye to everyone in person.

 

[Nebulous]

Thanks everyone for your support.
But.. Well it is what it is. I guess I cannot sit here and cry about it all day. I guess now that I wont have the internet and forums anymore to keep me occupied (in a couple days when it gets cutt off), I might as well start a hobby. Maybe I will make a garden in my backyard or something.. Any suggestions

Lol strangely enough, someone at work gave me a bunch of different vegetable seeds today. I was talking to her about it a few days ago and today she brought a basket full of stuff. Apparently she is into gardening. She brought pictures of her backyard. Looks like something out of a magazine.

 

[aka ibebak]

Maybe you should try it, sell them to a local market....

An even better idea! WebDesign! You are great with forums, Maybe you should google it...

 

[Nebulous]

How can I be a web designer without the web?

 

[aka ibebak]

Good Point...
Maybe in an office... I believe there is a microsoft building in CA
