I'm surprised DATW remained active as long as it did, to be honest. Absolutely nobody posted there...

Well that's a shame, maybe the leftover people can join up with the remaining, and make something.
I guess most of us are holdouts of not wanting to join Facebook, or Twitter.

I'm not sure if I joined there once, or it's the one that didn't get back to me when I messaged to join.
After three times I gave up i think,

I was the original Mod there (and still was for that matter I guess, up until a few days ago), and can tell you that the owner was essentially absent pretty much all the time. Mods had very limited abilities there, so you combine that with an absent owner and I'm not surprised you had an issue registering...

'DATW Mod' was my Mod handle there. I was the only poster there that had a separate Mod account, apart from Admin. It's the only way to keep business separate from pleasure, IMHO, and I think I handled things fairly well there, all things considered...

It had promise at first, but was doomed from the start due to Admin absenteeism and total neglect, as well as bad decision making policies...

I had his personal Email, but a response to a forum issue three fucking months later does little good.

Trust me, it frustrated me too in many ways, big time!

Well leaving a message three time it should have eventually got noticed. i only tried because someone asked me to join it so really it wasn't a big deal to me, just annoying trying for nothing.
I think there was three, or four other forums going at the time besides here.

Any message would have gone directly to the (absent) owner, and Mods would have no way to access them. There was no way to contact the Mods either.

It was a very rudimentary setup in every way...

LOL, it seems to be hard to contact me, but all people need to do is ask in the guest forum. They can post also, and ask, Ill eventually get to it within a day, or two.

I don't even know who the owner was. He never divulged that info to me. He set everything up, and then eventually just disappeared.

For all I know he died, hence the domain expiring.

Might have died, got a divorce, had health issues, or got a job, never know.
i hope someone tells everyone where I went, likely for me it will be hospital, or dead, not working, and can't travel you know.

He lived a very unhealthy lifestyle his entire life, and combined with his morbid obesity, well... I think he knew he wasn't going to live to a ripe old age.

I remember registration being closed and there being a guest posting area as well. Not sure if I had an account.
