So what's the deal with Earthboppin?
Is this a hack or what? Has this happened before on Earthboppin? What does everyone think?

It appears it was NOT a hack. This message over on Syzygyjob seems to indicate that he's communicated with someone regarding why he needed to shut the forum down and take time off. I don't know anything more than what was posted over on syzygy. :/

Don't think it's a hack but do think something rather sudden occurred...I'd just heard from him two hours prior to the site going down and he didn't mention it nor did he seem different than his usual good-hearted self. So I'm concerned and he's got my prayers.

I listened to his radio show last night and he seemed the same. I do not know what it could be. I only hope whatever it is, that is passes quickly for him.

First, hello to all...
As for Earthboppin', I don't know... however it did seem kind of sudden, even though Bopp had made it known he was getting tired of the personal attacks on National. (I'll do my best to behave here! )
I do recall a recent post from EB that was a link to Sorcha Fal's site about Eb being "depopulated" by March... just to be all conspiratorial about it, it seems to have been proven correct...
On a more serious note, I do hope he's ok and not having any dire trouble...

I know Dove has a MySpace thingy, as she would call it. Anyway, I do not have a myspace or I would check it out. I hope someone has their emails and will let them know. Skywise has the connection to his new site on Bopp's letter site.

Re: So what's the deal with Earthboppin?
Well I think they all monitor Jim's Board so I think they will all eventually find us. I still think something's not quite right. If he was fine talking to Mc 2 hours before he would have said something? I don't know. What Rig said is interesting. I myself feel like something just isn't right with the whole thing. So are we using two forum's now? Brian has one also? That's gonna be wierd.

Oh I am glad Dove will know.
I received an email from Petra. She is going to post your site on Quake Central. I am sure many will check there and become aware of your site. So Don in Hollister will also know as well.

Well, I answered this once but I guess i sent it into cyber space.
I hope that Ryan isn't having problems also and keeping him in my prayers and I hope he knows that he has a lot of friends here if he needs us. I have had a bad feeling for a long time that something like this was coming because of the amount of "new posters & trolls". I was on Berkland's site for many years and the same thing happened there until he had to close the site to all who wouldn't register. Lots of sites being shut down with too much anti-establishment stuff. Lets all be good here, okay?

I'll make it clear that I won't tolerate trolling I'm all for people speaking their minds, but within reason of course. I didn't set a block for profanity, and guests can post, but if it gets abused, I'm going to make it members only to post. I hope that things go well with this board

Re: So what's the deal with Earthboppin?
socalshakin (and other refugee EBonites),
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this! For losing EG/EB right when the Earth hammer came down hard was a terrible, terrible blow on a bunch of levels. Am delighted to be returned to the fold, even if I don't know my way around it yet! The best info I've been able to come up with, to include certain higher ones, is that this is Mr. Bopp's own stuff, not some attack upon him. I've seen things like this happen before.
Running a site like his is a major commitment, and if life circumstances change suddenly, next thing you know, a site shuts down. Seen it repeatedly occur on the wargaming side of my board use. In one case, a guy's wife became critically ill. In another, a tournament host withdrew to become an international soccer ref! Computer meltdown has knocked out a bunch, too.
The good news? Maybe paragraphing will actually work here for me!

John,
You are most welcome. Glad to have you hear joining us. I'm still figuring this thing out as well, but there seems to be lots of cool functions available, once I figure out how to use them, haha. I wish the threads read like EB's though, and I'm still checking out the functions on here to see if that's possible.

Hey Rig, do you recall the link to the article or the title of the article on Sorcha's site? Just curious what it said.

Unfortunately no, I've been trying to remember all day who posted it on EB and can't... all I remember is that it was from the SF site and was directly regarding the EB boards being "depopulated by March"...
Sorry I don't have more...
I should add that I've never put alot of stock in the SF site but thought some of the info there was interesting or at the very least entertaining...

Mr. Bopp updated the message on the front page of Earthboppin as follows:
"The boards and searchable archives are up, but closed to new posting."
I was so excited at first when I clicked over there and saw the boards back up, but it's just a frozen "snapshot in time" of what was there before he had to pause everything...
Anyway, it's great that he was able to put the searchable archives back up. Wanted to let you know in case you hadn't seen it yourself.

Re: So what's the deal with Earthboppin?
Hi Everyone,
I see I filled out the registration form incorrectly and my user name is my e-mail address. Oh well. Maybe someone can help me fix that?
I'm very sorry about whatever has caused The Big Bopper to have to leave. I'm sure it wasn't something he wanted to do and surely something he did not wish to discuss. And given the nature of his message and the rush to close the site I feel something is not right. And I will keep him in my prayers.
Thanks for opening this site and know I'll support you by linkage to make sure not only the old timers find you, but hopefully some new folks from around the world who might wish to join in and let us know about earthquakes outside of the US.
Good Luck & Wishing you much success!
Petra
