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.

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

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

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

Great choice.....currently chilling  ( if that's the right phrase given that it's still mid-20sC) to Trader Horne...

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

I think that if it wasn't for the first day problems NFFF would be the best around. Sadly for the first time for ages we haven't taken up the early bird offer . Sitting in a hot field for three hours after a five hour drive is no longer an option. I really hope they can sort it.

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

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...

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.
