Yes they are and both are cranky because they can’t go for a walk. Now I’m cranky because they can’t go for a walk. No heat, no lights, no tv, no hot water, a cranky dog, a cranky wife.....and 2.5 hours until the bar opens.

You need to buy a human powered treadmill and a battery operated full spectrum lamp. Possibly a generator would also help. Or earplugs. :P

Topic: Thoughts On Topix Closing

The Topix Forums Have Sailed Into the Sunset...maybe to rise again like the phoenix.

Just before sunrise there is a dark night.

Curious about how many people want Topix to return.  I am so over it. This is actually better Imo.

The ear plugs definitely would have helped yesterday. I am going to buy a generator.

I’m done with it. Had been done with it for a long time. There was nothing left but fending off lies and gossip from a small group of people. I used to venture out onto other threads and forums, but I really lost interest in that too because most of them deteriorated into nonsense, lies, and gossip.  I do enjoy this more than Topix and I think that’s because it seems like more of a “controlled” atmosphere.

Exactly, it became pages and pages of the same bs, same people making the same comments and asking the same questions.

Oh, god forbid! Don't allow others to control the direction of your life.
Nobody is doing any such thing as far as I know.

Every home needs one.

Is about time for the afternoons to get busy and also my little one will be awakening. Have a good evening.

From what I’ve read I fear that Topix was a terrible place with far too much sock puppetry and grey boxes that promoted lots of dishonesty. So maybe it makes for a better place here? Idk.

I really can’t compare without the experience. But I do think that this place has a nice atmosphere, and with good people, comes good friends.
Just my opinion.

"I am so over it."

If you say so.


"This is actually better Imo."


 Why do you think "this is actually better"?
Same bs every day, people putting personal information on topix and making snide comments about those of us who adopted children. Was told that we had adopted illegally, threats to have people's place of employment called, told that I was having affairs and I could go on and on.

I really can’t compare without the experience. But I do think that this place is good, and with people? So much the better.
Just my opinion.

I could handle it well. With that said we needed some style of change as it did get stale in many places.

You are right! I made a few friends on topix but this place has less drama.

Did that have to do with many leaving the forum?

Topix had great potential...the boy squandered the opportunity. This place...IMO doesn't have that potential...that exposure.


Without love in your life...you have nothing.

Maybe that lack of exposure is a good thing to most that post here now.

No, Topix closed the doors and forced everyone out. I never left the place, nor did most of my friends.
