It might be time.....
....to swap contact details of people you want to keep in contact with off board, if you haven't already.
Not much point in keeping this board alive with the lack of posts. I'll either take it down completely or leave it as read only so the information on the forum can remain and be of use to someone who chance upon it.
There is a Facebook Singapore-forum page if anyone wants to follow and like it.

Re: It might be time.....
Can you post the link to the Facebook page? By searching I just get the Forum at Orchard. Which I'm going to on a regular basis as my physio is there, so I don't really need any more info on that!

Re: It might be time.....

At the top of the forum, in the banner, there is a Facebook icon.
Click on it.

Re: It might be time.....
Shame, it's been great way to meet some fantastic people. But it is true, we've formed any friendships in real life now to sustain that contact via other means, but would not have been possible without the mechanism this forum provided. I miss the conversations but as the population decreased they have not been substantial and your time to maintain is not worth it. There is some excellent local and travel information so yes, a read only archive would have some value. Thanks Baloo. Will miss the site.

Hate to see this happen but it is probably time. Thanks Balou for all your works. Bye everybody.

Re: It might be time.....
Hadn't thought of TLC. Keep forgetting it's there. Does it have any traffic ? If I lock the site down it will be inaccessible.
It does seem a bit Grinchish to pull the plug at Christmas. The anniversary of the reincarnation of this board is in January or Feb. maybe the anniversary can be the official closing.

Re: It might be time.....
oh some info in the ladies forum is quite useful! Looks like I have to fish it out before you shut it down!
Re: It might be time.....
If I were to post on the Singapore Forum facebook page, would my postings be seen on my facebook page?

Perhaps we should have a post Christmas farewell dinner. Or better still, come to my major birthday bash at the Tanglin Club on 18th Jan 2014. PM email addresses please so I can email invites.

Re: It might be time.....
Very sad to lose TLC...I am sure it was the most active part of the forum of late. Sad to lose the rest too but it seems to be the way of the world.

Re: It might be time.....
I honestly have no idea of what's happening in TLC. Is it active ?

Re: It might be time.....
Yes TLC active, at least more active than the main forum.

Time to shut it down and move it to Facebook. It was good but it's time to let it go

Re: It might be time.....
Although I'm on facebook, I don't use it and still don't "get" it. So I guess it's goodbye from me.
It was fun though.

Re: It might be time.....
It's been fun, met some lovely people through one of it's many formats and actually learned a thing or two! Now whether those learnings were useful is quite another matter...
But yes, gone rather quiet and seemingly the only active forum is the TLC, I will miss it for sure.

Re: It might be time.....
Thanks too for the ladies club, many found it incredibly useful place to discuss some items of sensitive nature and get broad and sensible perspective. The international flavour of contributions was special too. The private nature of it allowed airing of topics that did not belong in public, there will be nothing like it again in replacement and helpfulness at times. And yes there was silly gossip, but it was quietly and silly stuff without deroragotory put downs to allow some lightness. Overall it a achieved its broad goal, and will miss that.
Agree with Licht about times to let go.

Re: It might be time.....
I have to admit that I will miss it a lot. FB is OK but at least here we all have something in common, whereas over there it is anything and everything. I will miss those here, I only know a couple of you on FB, and always find it a bit sad that I never got to meet up with you all in person (except one or two from the old days at the other place). TLC will be dearly missed.

Re: It might be time.....
if people are interested I could setup an old fashioned mailing list, or even a Yahoo Group.
Dunno. Agree it's a shame but I don't see many other options

Re: It might be time.....
You could setup a closed group on FB. Wouldn't generate more traffic but wouldn't cost money either
Re: It might be time.....
That a good suggestion, forgot you could have non public groups.

Re: It might be time.....
If the issue is lack of traffic rather than cost, not sure how a FB group would change that situation.
Hey PP - been to Melbourne a few times for work in the last couple of months and will most likely be there again in Feb, time to put a face to the name methinks!

Re: It might be time.....
Yes sadly, it is time. I've liked the facebook page. The Google group could be useful.
