I think it will take a bit of time for people to get used to the new set up. I know I fell out of circulation for at least a month when the old forum started having technical problems and I found it almost impossible to access. It's only now that I feel I'm getting going again. I was a bit hesitant in posting at first as I didn't really know what I'd missed and I didn't want people shooting me down for not having read posts in such and such a thread. I'm pretty sure that things will soon get back to normal.

I only found Saintschat because I looked at the Temple and found the link - there may be ex-BH readers who aren't even aware of this forum yet. I guess it depends on how much you look at other sites that will link to here.

I don't really see why - anyone who visits either the BH front page, or the URL where the BH forum was, is given a link taking them to the new forum. I would have thought that anyone either still trying to get onto the old forum, or trying to find out what happened to it, would go to one (or both) of those places.

This may be true, but I had the forum as a favourite on my browser and for ages I just got a 'link not found' message, so I just assumed there were still tech problems. It was only when I went into the actual blueheaven home page that I found out what was going on.

...which is exactly my point. You were able to find the site eventually because you knew where to look. I don't see why anyone else won't be able to do what you did. I'd have thought that most people who used the BH forum regularly, even those who'd (understandably) stopped using it because of the techy problems, will have had another look by now to see if it's back or not. And, when they did, they'll have seen the link to this site. I've got no plans to take the link down, so anyone who still hasn't checked back yet will still be able to find it.

I can't think of many regular BH forum users who haven't registered on this one by now.

I followed the link from the temple.

My internet usage monthly report has multiple hits to the temple site, my boss said he didnt mind me using the net as I was using it to improve my spiritual well being

I always knew following the saintees was a religion all by itself

Why not? Surely, as one of the BH forum's more regular users, you'd have kept checking back there to see if the site was up and running or not? Anyone who visits the location of the old BH forum is now given a linkto this one, so I really can't see why anyone who used that forum wouldn't be able to find this one.
