ribuck Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hi All, just over from AstronomyShed after hearing the sad news about Dion's health and the closing of the site. Hope to chat with some of the same great people from that site and to chat to some new folk and to continue the same great atmosphere where you don't have to worry about the Ban hammer and Draconian ways of other certain sites. Looking forward to chatting with you all soon, Rich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmot Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Welcome aboard Rich. there are many familiar people here from The Shed and I know that in my case that was thanks to Carole who seems to be pointing people in the right direction. martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carastro Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Yes it was me, I thought it would be a shame when the Shed closes for everyone to go their separate ways when there was somewhere they could go and still be together. I sent a message to Dion to tell him what I was doing, and messaged all the people I either knew, or who had posted in the last few months and had a reasonable post count and weren't people who had joined just for "five minutes". I still have about 20 people I have yet to hear from. I liaised with Galileo and he also notified a few people. I hope every-one won't abandon The Shed now they have joined here, as not sure when it is due to close. It would be nice for us all to give Dion a fond farewell when he announces the closure date.
