I would hope that Wendy would do something. I would do a one time contribution IFI know for a fact the funds would go to upgrade/secure etc the site. I'm sorry for those who have been donating funds all this time, and what does it go toward if not keeping the site current/safe?

I recently left FB, so I would not participate if it were moved there. I am a member of VF Roost on Tapatalk and also at Mary's forum at Total Fitness on Tapatalk as well. By default, I can chat on the community at MyFitnessPal since I use the app.

Life is pretty busy right now to check out all those sites on a regular basis, so I come here. Even if I don't post, I'll check threads, etc.

If anything, I would hope Wendy would turn it over to someone who has a passion and knowledge for keeping it current and running well. Someone who sees the value in what this site offers so many.

What a shame if it goes away from a lack of effort.

I'm the same Tina, in the wish that if Wendy is to busy, or doesn't care, I wish she'd give up ownership to someone who cared. I get life gets in the way, and people's interests change, but let someone else have a go

I'd happily be a VF supporter, but at this point, what's being done to improve or even maintain the board? Not much it seems.

Re: the bots question

Among other things, malicious/bad bots can harvest email addresses and then send phishing emails. And as the numbers of bots increase, they can affect the performance of the site. Would an up-to-date version of vBulletin have prevented the invasion of the bots? Probably.

There have been numerous generous offers of skills and time by concerned VFers over the years to maintain this forum. Pretty much unacknowledged as far as I know.

I don't think anyone wants to run the whole show. Including Wendy.

Many of our active board members are living their own private, nightmarish Twilight Zone episodes. VF is for them, and for me, a huge comfort.

I can only assume that VF is not a comfort to Wendy. Only a burden. With tiresome VFers like me whining.

Well, if it's a burden to her and if enough people found a board that was much easier to maintain, free, and could be administered by multiple people so that the load was shared, is there any downside in relocating? I would really only want to do so if we found a spot that functioned almost identically.

So as far as the topic of relocating.. why is VF Roost @ Tapatalk not an option? It's already established and is basically offering the same thing, with a few additions. Such as talking about diet and nutrition. You can trade but also sell your dvds. Just a thought.

If that's most people's preference, I can try again. I was not able to even create an account when I tried at one point in the past, and I'm pretty tech savvy.

I have noticed yesterday and today that the Advanced Search feature, which was broken for a very long time, is working again, at least as of now.
So maybe some maintenance had been done on the forum in the background? I sure hope so!

The review section is valuable even for 20 year old workouts. I would hate to see it disappear, even though new reviews are rare.

kat999 ~I forgot that creating an acct has been an issue for some folks. Maybe the admins can help in some way. I know they're here on VF as well.

I also don't want to see all the history here disappear. Like all the reviews. But unless someone steps in, I fear it will all go away one way or another.

I need to check out Mary's forum and see how it's layed out. That would also be an option. Tho, I doubt she would be up for trading and selling dvds. LOL
