Lol. No. Vast majority of posters including the forum namesake are my longtime Topix friends and hung arond on Welch at one point or another. Reddit got to slow for me, it was a Reddit poster who was once a Topix poster that led me here.

I found Reddit hard to use and figure out. Pete has done an awesome job on this one and hope it keeps some like Laci and KS and that bunch out.

Hey all, Pagan tried to register but couldn't. She is not sure if it has to do with her living in England or not but will try again. Said it came up that she was a spammer or something like that.

If you use a proxy to register it will do that but after you register you can use it.
Maybe try a different proxy.

It seems a Topix2 forums was launched 1-15-19 but it is not much. You put your state
in and select city, I choose Lexington Ky. no one was there. You don't even register.
You enter a password to keep your name.

Looks like you don't log in so you got to type name and password every time you post.

It has dropped in temp here. Started out at around 50 and has dropped to 40ish. We are suppose to get 1 to 500 inches in snow. Lol, that is an exaggeration.  Stay warm Princess.

I never saw it coming although i new Topix was dying and mods were becoming too restrictive etc. Anyway,here i am after some difficulty registering. Purple Lady ended up creating this account for me so hats off to her!

I will not have much time for this but is nice to have a gather spot.

Well hello there young lady. Hope you are doing well. Topix refusal to have posters register was their downfall.
