I have a feeling that if the board goes down, I won't remember that email address. Maybe admin, or someone else with board access, can set up a twitter account called 2peasrefugees? Then if the board goes down, we can check the twitter account for updates? I think it's a bit more anonymous than FB. Even with FB, I have one fake account I set up for Farm Heroes and when I log in, my FB suggested friends are people I'm friends with on my regular account.

I created one: peamessageboardbackup@gmail.com Thank you! I pasted and copied it, and emailed it to myself. Edited to add....I also took a screenshot of the email address, so I have it in a couple spots.

And I put 2 Peas, 2peas, refugees, two peas, proboards in the body of the email so I can search for it!

This would be my preferred option, for the same reason. I don't have Twitter, like some don't have FB. I have neither, but I seem to be able to read anybody’s tweets...copy them...post them here. I imagine there’s a way to set a Twitter account so that readership is more limited, but it doesn’t seem to be the norm. On Facebook, I’m also only able to go to pages that are set to be completely open, but that seems far less common than Twitter. (It’s usually a last - and annoying - resort to get info about a store or restaurant that doesn’t have a website.) ETA: Whoops. What Dewryce said.

I'd definitely like to know a backup plan because I didn't find this group again until a couple years ago, and rejoined during the pandemic.
Are there any alternatives to ProBoards? Most of the forum software I'm familiar with is paid and has to be hosted on a domain.
I use a few Facebook groups for hobbies, but they aren't ideal for a lot of reasons already mentioned.
Groups.io is another free option, but it's more thread/email based like Google and Yahoo Groups was, not forum-style.
Twitter notification is definitely an option. Or a subreddit that could be started as a temporary notification home? I don't know how frequently Reddit prunes dead subreddits.

I didn't donate to ProBoards, yet. I was looking up ProBoards and it's a for profit business. I don't like it when for profit business uses the word donation. Pet peeve.
Call it what it is - a subscription to entertainment and information, just like Netflix, etc.
Or call it a sponsorship in place of ads. Heck, give the unused ad space credit to some of the groups that are funding things.

I'm on Twitter as well and will post something if the board does go down unexpectedly: @iphigenia_acnh
You don't have to follow me if you're not comfortable with that, but I will make sure to post and alert anyone I can. Pretty sure it's been mentioned before about a buddy system so the word gets spread.

Just due to past actions by members of this and the old board, I will not be accessing a Facebook group where I have to give my real Facebook profile. Peas don’t need to know my first and last name. I didn't think of that. I guess I was thinking it could be an open page that we could see but not have to join. It would just tell us where to go. Could that work?

gar I don’t have any social media accounts at all (other than being a member here) but have found, like dewryce , that you don’t have to login to Twitter just to search and read. So I was thinking as long as that open access doesn’t change Twitter would be easily accessible by everyone.

I received a message but didn’t click on the link
Thanks for the email & twitter. Noted both in case this board gets cancelled.
