The forums are back! The forums are back! (repeat XX times). It's a new Aeon, folks! Time to celebrate! Solandia, thanks for hanging in there and bringing back these beloved forums. The Aeclectic Tarot Forums is the first and last web site I check each day, and I felt such a void when the forums were down. Huzzah and hooray! All the forum rooms have a fresh coat of paint and are awaiting for the guests to arrive and the conversations to start. Yes!

Well this is a very happy day. There back!!!! We better start fast, because this forum is feels to empty. Hope everyone is still out there? See you all soon Maan

tarotbear	04 Aug 2001
Yes, Maan, we have all been lurking in the shadows, waiting for this happy day! Too bad the files are gone - all those terriffic discussions! Just have to start over again from square one.......

At last it is back again - wonderfully!!! :) It was a real deprivation, I came at least twice every day always hoping it to be back. But it is a big loss that the archive didn't survive, all these interesting postings, the whole knowledge base - very sad. :( I hope everyone will come back and the forums will grow fast again. BTW: I liked the old background colour. White is to cold I think. Netpilgrim Supplement: Seems the bright white background wasn't intended, the light gray is somewhat better. (I still think the old colour was nicer.)

Hello Everyone! Wow! Did it seem like this forum was down for a LONG time or what?? I'm just glad it's back! :D

Zac	04 Aug 2001
Yeah, I'm definitely relieved. Too bad all the stuff that was here before is gone... But oh well. Fresh start, I guess.

MeeWah	04 Aug 2001
THANK YOU, Solandia!! & greetings, all! I've missed y'all. It's too bad the previous postings are lost, but I'm glad we are back in business! I have a very good champagne waiting for an occasion to celebrate--& confetti, too :D

Jimilyn	04 Aug 2001
I had a chance to read everything in the beginner's forum, but had only scratched the surface in the others. Lots of times, though, something (like losing the old messages) can make a community like this pull together and grow stronger and bigger in the long run. 8-) I'm so glad the forums are back! :-D Jimilyn

EveAnna	04 Aug 2001
I've been coming here for days - I'm glad that today I find the forums back - I've missed them :)

nexyjo	04 Aug 2001
yes, it's great to be back, and to see everyone again. and thanks meewah, for letting me know they reopened - i had almost given up hope. i have confidence that we'll quickly fill the forum with spirited posts just like before. and thank you Solandia for your perseverence in getting the forum back together. luv and light, nexy

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! (That's a rebel yell, for those of you from outside of the South USA!) Gee, it's glad to see this back up and running! Thanks for hanging in there, Solandia! Had a chance to read your medieval pages and ended up getting me charged about making my next batch of mead! (NOTE TO SELF: Buy honey next week!)

It's amazing how much this forum has come to mean to me. I checked every day and felt so deprived. I got a new deck (Tarot of the Cloisters) a new book (Robin Wood's book for her deck) and there was no one to tell! Thanks so much Solandia.

bonadea	04 Aug 2001
YIPPEEEEE!!!! ;D It's Great to see you all again. A Great Big THANK YOU to Solandia.

Solandia	04 Aug 2001
Hi everyone, good to see you back :) Thanks for waiting the very long ten days while the forums were unavailable. The forum's data files weren't compatible with the new server and I had to make the decision between spending the next three weeks (or more) trying to restore the old forums (with no guarantee of success), or starting over. So here we are. The forums do look a bit empty. I'll be posting new & old topics in the next few days, and I'm working on a way of contacting all the old members as well. ~ Solandia

purplelady	05 Aug 2001
The forums are back! In celebration of the resurrection I've resurrected myself with a new name (formerly "marlene).One thing though , my signiture quote does not seem to be showing up?

KyrieSummer	05 Aug 2001
Thank you so much Solandia! Perhaps it was fate to have the old posts disappear. Makes us have to think of new posts, and old posts and that should generate a healthy discussion. I am so excited about this!

Goldie	05 Aug 2001
I too very much missed the forums, thankyou so much for restoring them Solandia! It's good to see that most of the old faces have returned so quickly :-)

Kiama	06 Aug 2001
You guys can't hear my joyous shouts of glee.... He he. Well, luckily I was away for quite alot of the last three weeks and haven'r really had the chance to get to the interent, so I wasn't aware the formus were down for so long. I'm glad I didn't have to suffer in boredom, with no mental stimulation at all..... Glad to see y'all back. BTW: Yarnie- Nice yell. Gonna practice that myself I think. Kiama

joya250	06 Aug 2001
8) Hi Everyone! And thanks Solandia!!! It's the new and improved tarot forum! Glad to be back.

GeminiLady	06 Aug 2001
Thanks Solandia! I just realized last night that I could get in here again and I was so happy :) It's amazing how addictive this place can be, -sure did miss it!

tarotbear	06 Aug 2001
"Rebel Yell" - didn't that come in a bottle available at cheap lickker stores? LOL! :-)

Kiama	07 Aug 2001
Glad to hear your still your old self, Tarotbear! The forums wouldn't be the same without your humour! Kiama

Logiatrix	07 Aug 2001

Logiatrix	07 Aug 2001

catlin	08 Aug 2001
Hi, These were the longest and emptiest 10 days in my life! I am really glad to see you all again! You should have seen my daily checking the forums for several times and hoping to get them back! Thanks so much, Solandia, for all the trouble you took to re-unite us all!!!

Kiama	09 Aug 2001
My sig wasn't coming up for a while, but I carried on posting and it everntually showed up... Kiama

blue	09 Aug 2001
Solandia; Thanks for all your effort in getting the forum back up and running! I think it could be called a labor of love! Good to have you back.

blue	09 Aug 2001
Solandia; Thanks for all your effort in restoring the forum. I'm sure it was a lobor of love! Good to have you back!

purplelady	13 Aug 2001
Metaz, and anyone else who's signature doesn't show up- when writing a post or reply , check the box next to "include my signature in this post" below posting. It finally dawned on me! :D ! Also , I find "page 2" at the bottom of the pages so tiny I have to remind myself to find them , and for awhile totally missed the postings with 2 pages! :D ,now I got it figured out!

Aeon	14 Aug 2001
::::peeking my head in the door::::I'm so glad I got a notice that something happened and the site was resurrected (not glad that something happened, just glad it's here) I lost some links, got lost in some shuffles and essentially just got lost. Not gonna let that happen again . It's been a long while and it's good to see some familiar faces. As soon as I'm done catching up on back posts I'll be loading you guys with questions. Aeon
