TalkAwhile - The Folk Corporation Forum

TAW has been up and down for days now and I haven't been able to get Colin's attention, so I would suggest that if you want to stay in contact with other TalkAWhile folk you take a look for them on Facebook and, if not already"Friends" with them, send friend requests.

This nay sound extreme but really I think the end may well be nigh.

If anybody wants me, I'm on FB or Bluesky (David Johnston-Smith) and my email is davidmjs at gmail dot com

I obviously hope this isn't the end, but it does feel rather like it doesn't it. Let's hope not, but it's been a gas... :)

Thanks Andy, that will be a sad day. Haven’t had any issues this end but it’s been inevitable for a while!

Though the first two I debate about…kinda tired of the socials tbh

Suggest people just join Fairporters on Facebook. A lot of names  should pop up.

It would be such a shame to lose TAW, but I think Colin lost interest a while ago. That is sad as he’s created something which has enhanced and changed peoples’ lives, enabled friendships and built a community.
It would be good if it could be passed onto someone

Oh this would be very sad 😥.

I hope Colin is ok and this won’t happen.

I joined when there were only about 300+ and now … how many?

I have learned so much, about music and people..

I have made many, now life long, friends all of which were TAW members loving the same and similar  music.

Love to all of you xxx

I seem to have fixed it. (Script running away, but it will come back)

This is a very old server that I haven't migrated from because:
TalkAwhile uses ancient forum software that I heavily patched so can't be ported.
There is an old PERL script that handles some CCTV and I've forgotten how it works.
There are a couple of email addresses that do need to be ported.

So this server limps on. Much like I do.

Nice one Colin , your efforts are much admired and thoroughly appreciated

Thank you Colin.

Thank you Colin.

Many thanks for all your hard work Colin, I would hate to lose TAW X

Really appreciated, Thank you,Colin.

Cheers Colin!

Thanks Colin.

Good man, Colin.  Can we have a 'limp on' emoji? ;)

Very grateful for all of your hard work Colin,  hopefully we can limp through to our 25th anniversary!

Thanks Colin. Appreciate your efforts to keep us connected.

If anyone wants to find me on Facebook, I'm there as Will Sawers.

Over the next few days I will have clear out in here, which should extend it's life.

Brilliant Colin, thank you x

Colin, thank you. Much appreciated. TAW is a resource I use on an almost daily basis, and it would be missed if it was no more...

Nice one Colin.

Cheers,

Slippy
