I won't be going back to HTLAL

[basica]

Rhian posted the other day saying nothing new to report IIRC so I imagine that's still probably the case.

Nothing as yet but tonight we happen to have been discussing a final date after which we can say fine we're moving on. I'll post once we've all agreed.

Take your time, folks. I for one am not in a hurry.

I must admit that the current situation is somewhat nice in that it's reduced the pressure on me to put down a log entry even though it's been over a month since I've last posted in it and do have a few things to report. I don't like too much the idea of having parallel logs and double-posting as Expugnator and Radioclare have done, and would rather keep a log in one place. The question is which forum will hold the log.

Once we figure out more about the boards, I'll make a decision. I'm on the fence still. Inertia and losing (in a certain way) the 10+ years of goodwill (4000+ votes and posts) do play a role in preventing me from moving here wholeheartedly. I'm sure that my posting style here won't change much and I wouldn't expect myself to be as helpful/detailed in posts here (especially about Uralic or Slavonic languages) as I was in my first 7 or so years on the old forum. I'm just not as enthusiastic about retyping stuff that I've expounded at length before when I can just put links to an old but relevant post instead (assuming that the old forum continues to exist).

However I do like this forum for its promise and features. It seems to be here at the right time unlike Julie's HTLAL emergency forum which served its purpose but we didn't have a sufficiently upset userbase to keep it going or languagelearners which seemed to be created out of spite after some members were banned. I didn't feel right posting there much because I couldn't identify with the latent bitterness that was part of that forum's raison d'être.

Haste makes waste, as far as I remember. Take it easy.

It doesn't matter for me personally, because I already seem to have posted all my questions and got all the answers I was going to get. So for me at least the time is nigh, high time to move on soon.
But I wish you all good luck.

Edit
The forum is nice and the people are friendly.
I wonder how many active members there are at the old forum.

But it's too quiet, anyway. No politics. No religion (I agree, I'm an atheist.)

[Serpent]

No religion (I agree, I'm an atheist.)

Discussing atheism also counts as religion imo.

Got my popcorn ready, this will be interesting...

We are sending a second inquiry letter this week. Then we will wait a while for a response, or lack of response. I don't like being on two forums either, even though I like both. It's all still to be determined.

And "a while" means how long? Is there a date when the "lack of a response" is the answer? One week? Two weeks? Longer?

[Bluepaint]

Well it looks like it will be two weeks from the date the letter is sent.

[Bluepaint]

Which seems reasonable. A month is way too long but a couple of days is on the short side.
