when lucy talked to patty simpson, she said approximately october 1. way past that date, so who knows.
She said the goal was October 1, ābut you know how IT projects are.ā Or something like that. They didnāt post a date because they didnāt know.
October 1ā¦ but never said anything about the year. Nice non-answer answer.
I still occasionally check the ip address when opening a new tab on my phone because itās one of the bubbles offered. The refused language makes me sad. I used to know how to try different ports, but that knowledge is long lost.
They must use the same IT contractors that my company does.

I did too at firstā¦ very much. Iām getting to be an old dog who doesnāt like learning new tricks. However Iām starting to get used to it and itās not so bad. Iām not quite ready to say that I prefer it to VBulletin, but there are both plusses and minuses at least.
Give it a chanceā¦ itās not as hard to learn as it seems like it will be at first when the differences are overwhelming.
I like the live updates. Not as much of a fan overall though.
The Tutorial is worth doing. That helped quite a bit.
I miss the ao

I miss some of the history. And we need more posters, imo.

Thatāll come. we get new signups and new posters every day. Since most forum visitors donāt post, we probably need 50-100 new signups to see a new person who contributes regularly. that just takes time.
We are over the biggest hump. It generally takes two years of constant posting to get a forum to the point where itās viable. Weāre already well past that point. And note that the forum has been live about 6 months IIRC, maybe not even that long.
One of the biggest losses from the AO was the exam material and we donāt have critical mass in most of the exam sections yet. Working on it - weāre giving away some study seminars to see if we can get that ball rolling.

Itās going to be a lot harder to build that up on the CAS side now that candidates canāt discuss exam questions. 
Itās really a shame this material wasnāt preserved. I think a lot of people on the AO first joined due to exam content.

I also liked it for the career advice. I miss the Westley stickies.

Careful what you wish for, you could get another one like me 
I like to think Iāve helped make up for that post count deficiency by additional intense exam results anxiety

Did he make it over here? Or was he gone before the demise?
Actually, it seems like thereās a lot more CAS traffic here than SOA traffic. At least the upper level CAS threads are the busiest in the exam section.
