This site, currently canoetripping.net, is scheduled to migrate on or about August 19, 2021, to a new platform and software under the ownership and control of Glenn MacGrady, As soon as and after this migration occurs, Fork Branch LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents, will have...

I suspect your devices are finally automatically updating the OS and/or browser programs, or clearing the caches, and thus the devices can now read the javascript on the site.

I am reluctant to do anything other than that which I already know how to do, and that which is absolutely necessary for the migration. I might inadvertently create a tech problem and any vBulletin tech support is at best problematic and relatively expensive at this point. I am uncomfortable...

Another gmail mail, in relevant part: "As I stated in the last post I had posted, I appreciate and support the site, and will continue to, in the upcoming changes. I've gotten a little lost in trying to follow everything, but the full migration sounds far and away the best option. My thanks to...

Another gmail message: "I am glad that the site moving to a better place. Please let Glenn know that most all of us that can not post will be behind him as the new administration. He might want to give us a email address that we can send our direct support & a snail mail address we can send...

A gmail message, in relevant part: "I’m in favor of Glen’s proposition of full migration & will contribute to canoetripping. Forest runes"

We have enough of a consensus for me to be comfortable proceeding with initial steps. I plan to put a check in the mail today for $600 to Glenn to cover the start up costs. I will also contact Siteground today about the migration.

Thanks to Abenakiregion for focusing me on the fact that some contributors remains unable to post and thus cannot give their thoughts on the migration. I invite any contributors who are unable to post to e-mail me their thoughts, to dave1111116@gmail.com,and I will post in this thread for them...

I had great plans and hopes for this site. I have enjoyed my time as Admin, for the most part. I met new canoe friends, and learned a lot. My changed circumstances, however, require that I hand off the site. My first priority is as custodian of the archives. Our contributors have devoted...

I stated several times, very deliberately, that our IT guy "evidently" is no longer is available to us. At one point, he e-mailed me: "I think it is time for me to bow out of helping." I responded and vigorously asked him to reconsider, and I did not hear back for some time. Recently, he...

Great pictures, great suggestions, thanks to all. Yesterday, Cookie graduated to the tandem:

Terrific report of a sweet trip, done in style. The area at the end of Fish Pond is a favorite. I've got to get back there sometime soon.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to give us this detailed trip report. Looks like a very satisfying solo excursion. Regret you have to deal with some tech issues in posting it. LTL sure brings back the great memories!

When I became the Admin, I thought my anonymity, and broad range of canoeing interests, might be a good thing. I have no allegiances or specialties that, consciously or not, might unduly influence my decisions in steering the board. I’ve been with the board from the beginning. I well recall one...

Thanks for your tips and thoughts. Cookie's canoe training is coming along pretty well. She has graduated to the solo canoe. Before shore break swim, digging it: After swim:

Many thanks for the responses in this thread, and for the private messages and emails. Every one of them is thoughtful, honest, articulate, and respectful. This is the quality of participation that makes this forum exceptional. I have little practical experience with missions statements, so...

Thinking it through a bit more, in the back of my mind I was supposing that the mission statement might inform the IT problem/solution. So, perhaps the mission statement can be approached from that perspective.

I honestly do not know what the extra IT costs might be, or what that might give us other than perhaps shorter response times. My sense is that we get a great bang for the buck from IT now, and we are lucky to have him. I am reluctant to alter that, but OTOH, I do not want to lose contributors...

Here is a first draft Mission Statement, for discussion purposes: Canoetripping.net is a place to give and get information about canoes and canoe tripping, and to share one’s enthusiasm with like-minded folks. Canoetripping.net is defined by camaraderie and respect. Rude, inherently...

This is not a great time of year, and not a great time for me personally, to get into this. Our recent IT problems, however, have spurred me to do this now. My participation will be somewhat limited, but I want to hear what you have to say. I urge you to use self-restraint as the discussion will...
