I hate to say this but...

I'm pretty sure they will not be there once the site is back up.
What ever you send/rec now, while the site is read only, will disappear once it's back up.

Make sense?

Yes - so do save anything important! Still useful, though.

The clone of the old one was taken at 11:59 yesterday morning. The things that are open now will not be included when it comes back up, because the new version will start from the clone copy.

Sorry we upset the cart but we all have limited time. I have yet to explore the BYH but just like the BYC I'm sure there is a lot to be learned here. It was at the Websites suggestion that we join to learn the new format of the BYC . As with all social circles of life there are clicks . I have never really considered myself a snob but there are those that I relate to . We have fun most of the time . We are also very close friends who have sent aid to one of our friends who lost her house to the floods in Mississippi last year . We recently sent emails and cards to one of our friends who is very ill to help lift their sprits . These are the people you fear It has been my pleasure to know them I am very proud to call them my friends . After seeing some user names here I'm sure that we all are the same type of people . Well not exactly the same but the heart is there so the mind must follow . I'll give you this to consider perhaps it will remind you how things should go in life View attachment 32647

BYH scared the chit outta me... I skipped doing an intro thread just to try and keep the waves down...

The only reason I stayed was to keep in touch with these dear friends Hipshot spoke of... we're all different, we don't always agree all the time nor do we even agree some of the time... but every single one is irreplaceable... time and again, they have pulled together and done incredible things for others... time and again, they have amazed me at their willingness to show others that no matter what happens or where anyone is, there are others that care and support in times of need... time and again, they humble me and I am ever and always proud to call them all Friend...

So, we are deeply sorry for disrupting your quiet home and I know it turned everything upside down for everyone... but I cannot be sorry for taking advantage of the opportunity of keeping in touch with these wonderful people...

And these are the people that I'm glad to know on BYC. Like many, I am just here to keep contact with my BYCers and learn the format. I know some great people on BYC that go out of their way to help a fellow member. Yes, we may be loud, and opinionated, (not me, but others ) but we are there for each other and unfortunetly in order to do that for a few days, we have to depend on the "hospitality" of a "sister" site. Many of us would rather be in our own ponds or coops, trust me.

I was a Greeter on BYC - which has been one of the "jobs" I truly love. I started watching and greeting here and it is currently an overwhelming job .

It's not as personal, but you might consider a "general welcoming to all" at the top of the thread" with an apology or statement of the "chicken overrun"?

This is a temporary problem and things should settle back to your normal very soon .




Me too. I'm somewhat recluse in real life. I tried being active in many threads on BYC but it was overwhelming, so I reigned in my chatter to a few less busy forums and began having more fun and getting to know a few folks was a lot easier. Here with the Chicken Chats moving so fast, IMO difficult to participate with how fast and the high number of posts or whatever they are called here.

It sounds like you will be happier during this transition to focus on the forums that you really enjoy and just ignore the ones that are stressing you..

This sums it up very well. ....it can be a struggle to find the cluque you click with, (working on that at the moment actually as I find myself feeling less like I belong with the cluque I clicked with before). I like having just a couple of social cluques and then being active in the question areas where I can use my experience and knowledge to help others (I'm a helper by profession, lol, so this is a role I fall into naturally) and I love being able to extend a friendly greeting to new flock members.

Ditto that.

Maybe y'all know this already, but PMs still work on BYC! Just can't post. I figured that's better than nothing.

anything sent or posted over-there after noon ET 5/9/2017 will not be transferred to the new BYC
