I'm definitely still in beta as far as my life as a blogger goes as you can see from my previous post.

But it may be time to write an obituary and/or a history of the INTERNATIONAL DIGEST FORUM.

Or make a myth out of it. It's tempting, you know.

I've hosted the INTERNATIONAL DIGEST FORUM for three years. Three weeks ago was the first time that I put someone on permanent READ ONLY. The Caucasus War had put me on edge and I was fed up with a very old drama.

So I banned someone.

And what happens? One week later the Worldcrossing server which hosted my INTERNATIONAL DIGEST FORUM goes out of business. Today it seems like this was only the prelude for ever bigger trouble for Worldcrossing. The only old forum which I could still reach in the last week, RANDOM INTERNATIONAL, hosted by Siobhan Halo is now unreachable too.

The world is crumbling!
