So we've been batting this around for 9 days and 8 pages. Most people who frequent this forum have weighed in by now one way or the other. Knowing that this old place won't be totally going away and will be a refuge if things go sideways is a BFD, as Joe Biden would say. A banner indicating the address of the new place would be needed, but that's sitemoving 101. It'll be easy to screen out BatMags if he decides to sneak in- we all know his style of writing and abuse, so he'd be picked up pretty quickly. It'd be nice to try to contact those who've fallen by the wayside over the past few years but i don't know if that's possible. I'm ready to load Granny, Jethro and Elly Mae into the truck at this point. It won't be what we had, but what we had is slowly dying, and there's at least a puncher's chance the new place will be better. It'd be nice to get things up and running by Opening Day so we can bitch and moan over things Metly at the new place. Again, just my .02.
