Strange that this topic is not even discussed here?    And that on AQ forum they are even talking about creating an LBNA forum page for discussion of LBNA issues?     I guess this talk list is pretty much considered dead to the world.

 

not dead at all. some of us are very attached to this group and read
everything from the past and the present. in fact i would suspect that more
letterboxers than you realize read this list and not aq at all.

Altho I don't use LBNA as much as AQ  LB has it's place.  When I have to limit my time boxing in just

one town I use LB as it gives more specific search locations. 

I was surprised it wasn't mentioned here, too, but I guess most letterboxers talk on AQ so webmasters figured it would be seen by more people there.  I never post there but when I heard there was talk of Ryan taking over LBNA I had to give my 2¢.  Glad to see the campaign is successful and LBNA can remain a nonprofit letterboxing website thanks to the efforts of Choi and others.  Also glad this group is not dead, or at least full of talkative ghosts.

Actually I suspect many of the donations were made based on local Yahoo message boards and Facebook LB groups. As far as I can tell, the Texas Yahoo board and the Great Lakes Yahoo board are the only two that are still active and the major source of communication in those regions.

I think there would be even more donations if a message was put on the home page of letterboxing.org

I won't do AQ, you've touched on one of the reasons why, I'm glad to hear you spoke up. Thank you. 

I agree and have been worried that LBNA would eventually die and go away, along with all my clues.  I understand that many new letterboxers prefer AQ, but to not even use or know about LBNA just seems wrong.  When AQ was first created with its own database of clues, I was afraid it would cause a schism in the letterbox community, but I never dreamed it would take over.  I am so glad Choi and other webmasters are continuing to keep LBNA functional for us traditionalists.

Apparently it is dead.  I got a "sorry, can't find" message when I clicked on the link, or typed it out.  I also tried other links in active Lb sites: none of them worked, no matter how it was referenced.  Perhaps Silent Doug will respond directly?
