I could start one. I know nobody's left, but we could port the CBTA and start anew.__________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S. EliotRIP Ari Legacy UGB River Rock primer. PM comments/questions. Info on grad school in Phil.

I check in every Friday or every other Friday when I'm having a few drinks and feeling nostalgic just hoping to see something. I'm in....even if it's just to reconnect about life.Also, good to see your name again Goas a d pgb __________________ your former ubb survivor 10 champion!! invisibility award! morality award! homer simpson award! big bird award! king of motl! undefeated in ubb mafia Originally posted by CPTBOBIX: I wish I was canadian

And, why do you think a new forum would be more popular than this one?__________________ Everyone you meet is going through something * BoltBait is the official holder of the MOTL [Logout] Button

Keith Loo had created a MOTL replacement back in 2016/2017. Then sometime from 2017-2019 he didn't bother to renew the domain because he was busy with his new child and didn't think people were that interested. It was manaloop.com. The last message he sent in our admin chat was over 3 years ago: "We stopped building it years ago for a variety of reasons. It’s not out of this world to do it again - just really depends on if the need is there". I had planned to use it but the option went away.As far as why a new one could be more popular than what's left of MOTL? Updating the card list; MOTL hasn't been updated since ... Gatecrash or RTR over 11 years ago? Admin powers to do things? New functionality? Keith had been testing various things like a card authenticator. We could incorporate card scanning technology to scan in your cards rather than typing them all. Integration with other inventory services. I never want MOTL to go away, but there is a void. Of course, I'd want references ported over too lol

I'd be interested in an alternative to FB.

I had reached out to a few mods in hopes of getting in contact with the owner to purchase it. Was essentially told I was wasting my time, which is interesting as others have said he's always been willing to let it go to someone/people willing to keep it going. Who knows. I just wanted to use the old school name (with his permission, of course) for those of us that were around. That said, while I encourage you make something in this space, realistically, it has been so long that there's already a plethora of trading forums, groups, etc. Still worth doing though, if it's something you'd like to personally do. I'm sure you can think of a few ways to stand out and pull a crowd. Cheers.
