I remember GoJabber. I loved that place! I hate FB!
I offered help with GJ's server bills to keep it going when it was in trouble, but never got a response. My finances were better then. At one point, I even offered GJ a place on our server, and when I received no response to it, I offered to take any forums wanting to stay open. No one ever responded to any of our offers. I don't know if they just didn't get them, lost heart, or what happened. I never heard anything.
It broke my heart to see the place slip away. It was because of GJ I got the idea of doing our own hosting site. They were using some other software then, and I preferred Beehive. So I went with it for Netutopia Forums. It was our first site many years ago.
Then, one day misfortune lead to it's demise from forces beyond a website owner's control. A big company bought a smaller one for real estate and equipment, not customers, which left every website hosted by the smaller company gone, including the backups.
Next came HanginOutForms.org, which is still around. We did have .com as well, until my old man screwed up in a dashboard and accidentally sold it. He's banned from all control panels now. Love him. Yes. Trust him near them again. No. lol
We've 27 forums and 317 members to date, and slowly growing. We don't really advertise. Probably part of why were still small, but I'd rather be small and have a good place for people than be big and not care about the members. Like some places you see on the net. They're all about profit and to the sands with everything else. We're non-profit and created by people for people. As long as the bills get paid and we can have a nice place for those who want to be there, we're happy. :)
Our biggest handicap is the technical side of things. If not for Matt, and his help, I doubt we'd still be around. I'm learning, but it's slow. I look forward to the day when I know enough to be able to really help with Beehive and Ajax Chat. They work so wonderfully together. I'd love to see them become completely integrated as one system. They compliment each so well. Our members love them together.
You'll have to visit us some time. We've modified the CSS layout, mostly things like border boxes and some specific tags like forums_border and forums_box, but it's still Beehive. :)
