Yeah no issues with the bulk mail out given the circumstances. I assume 'we won't don't this again' has an unspoken 'unless we really have to'.
Didn't the forums also use to use someone's personal domain before the switch to forums.thesilverfern.com? So this makes it the third domain that I've used to get here.

So the stragglers will eventually find their way back....
Yeah
Loads of people would not get the email or it will go to spam. For them they'll get here by
- The url being passed around (please keep passing it around)
- Google search
- Eventually we'll unlock the account and get the old url back and that will redirect
We don't have a time frame on unlocking the account
Google search will help. We are indexed again and are appearing on searches for 'silverfern forum' etc (tested in incognito mode)
There's things we can do to improve the chances of finding us via google. Still working on that -

would the more searches taking place help direct more results here?Googles AI answer makes the fern sound very civilized and polite...
The "Silverfern Forum" refers to the discussion forum on the Silver Fernes website. It's a place for users to engage in discussions, ask questions, and participate in general conversation. The forum is organized into sections like "General Discussion" and "Questions & Answers" -

i swear by the amount of BS posted most were bots, probably why new server so responsive

It's actually the shitty old server still
We had a huge bot issue and they're all gone. Millions of hits
We'll still upgrade to the faster server soon. There's better bot protection on that already

So the real test is when you are in incognito mode
Active threads will help. Eventually the old .com links will drop off

An anonymous chrome tab. Different browsers have different names for it

Brilliant work @Duluth and @Kirwan
you don’t know how much you miss this place until it is gone.It was so strange having a couple of big games to watch without the chat
I missed the match thread when watching Frog 3. There's some really useful running insights and thoughts in those threads.
Really well done guys - I'll hold off on posting any memes to keep traffic down in the hope of encouraging @MN5 to do the same..
