[Betty]

I haven't quite figured out everything that Betty did here to keep things running, but the servers are being paid for through the PayPal account, so I'm assuming the site will continue as long as that's done.  Any donations made on the site will continue to go towards that expense. 
I'll check the email now and then, so you can let me know if there's a problem with the site, and I'll see if I can figure out how to fix it. 
I won't be approving any new members though....  Betty worked hard to make this a safe space for everyone, and I don't want to risk that.
Any questions, or issues, don't hesitate to ask
Love to all,
Betty's Sis

Thank you for this info as many were wondering, myself included. I knew the site was paid for automatically but did not know if it would continue. Betty had listed me as a moderator but I did not do very much other than try to keep the site safe and try to delete trolls and anything not appropriate. I knew Betty when he was in Canada many years ago and stumbled on this site many years afterward. We exchanged emails and even some snail mail from time to time but I could never manage to visit him as my passport expired many years ago and after the fire he moved and I was not even sure where his new place was. He will be missed a great deal but he was dealing with a lot in the past and now it is all over so I hope he is resting in peace. Thanks again for your post. (Betty's sister).

I'm so glad somebody is watching out for trolls and such!  Thank you!
Yes, Betty stayed with us for a bit after the fire, until he found a new place.  I think he moved one more time after that.  He had a rough time the last couple years.

Thank you for your reply I am glad you got to read it and you were taking care of him and I miss our little chats once in awhile. I just wish I could have visited him over the last year or two as we never really got to talk old times when he was in Toronto. I don't think he came back to Canada for many years now but we shared some interests over the years. Thanks again.

Sadly, hardly any posts in the month since "Betty's" death.
It's as if everybody is waiting for the site to go offline and disappear. That would be sad, but may well be inevitable.

[Angela M...]

Yes Robyn Jodie it may come to that. I think the Bots are still running things and Betty's sister may check in but I am not sure if she knows much about the site and Betty never said. I am sure the costs may still coe out of his bank or maybe not but I will end sometime. It has been a fun time for all and informative when Betty was looking after things and I wish I had lived closer and able to help look after things but that is how life goes sometimes. I have lost a few friends and co-workers over the last few years and it is hard to realize we all get older without seeing the reality of it until it is too late. I am thanking you all for coming here and enjoying what Betty created all those years ago. Many of you have also added to this wonderful site and I am sure Betty appreciated your contributions. I will close now and keep checking in until something happens in the future. Thanks again.

unfortunately, this site was not as easy as looked and betty ran it very well, however when the monies runs out this site will disappear and nothing can be done to save it.It will be a shame but that is life

Betty's sis here.....   I will keep the site going, so please continue to enjoy is as you always did.  Betty would've wanted it that way.

Thank youi for that Betty's sister. Do you have another name we can call you or are you comfortable with us just saying Betty's sister. I am fine either way it is up to you. I have not checked in here too recently having been a little busy with family issues but I will keep checking as often as I can. I considered Betty a friend and we conversed as often as time would allow. I do miss our chats and the helpful hints he gave me to keep my own computer running problem free. I sure wish his last few years could have been as great as his previous ones in the entertainment business and his computer business. I think the fire effected him more than he let on and he lost a lot of stuff he loved and his work / play life suffered a bit with that and his health issues. Sure hope he is very happy in the after life.
