As most of you know last month our host shut the forums down for two days without warning. This jepordized our suicide prevention mission as staff forums critical to suicide prevention wer unavailable. Fortunately no One got hurt. Since then we recieved almost daily threats of shutdowns from one individual at the host which I consider discriminatory. Other support people indicate that this kind of thing is usually handled very differently for others. Obviously we cannot rely on this host who put our mission in jepoardy. we though cannot afford a dedicated server myself.

Enter Victor from the Breast Form store. http://www.lauras-playground.com/sponsor_host.htm . He has come to our rescue and is providing a dedicated server for the site. This is not cheap especially for a high volume site with heavy bandwidth. The only thing Victor has asked for is acknowldgement which he will recieve tenfold.

The move is in progress as we speak as backups are being conducted. Our biggest concern is the forums survival in the transfer. If the forums disappear hopefully we can restore them. if not we will start afresh. I apologize for any inconvienence. We and our mission cannot though be held hostage by our soon to be former host. The good news is that the sites continuation is now assured long after I am gone. Please drop Victor an email to thank him for his generosity.

Thank you for the update, Laura.

My bags are packed, my desk stuff is put in boxes (including my Star Trek pen and Post-it holder) and I'm ready to go.

My thanks and a big kiss to Victor. On to greener pastures!

Well I am glad to be part of the community here. I don't know where I would be if I didn't find this place in December. Everyone here has helped so much that any time that I spend helping others is a blessing to me.

This is truly great news! I want to thank the new sponsor and will visit the site and see what it has to offer that I might need. I thankfully have my own breasts now but I'm sure the shopper in me will find something she wants ;)

Huggs,

Thank you Laura and all those who work with you to give us our home and family.

Some days we play and have fun and other days we weep and are consoled but beneath it all we have found a place to be.

This is the only place on Earth I can be me as I was born to be. And so it is for so many who come here. We find our voice and find our wings, or a hand to hold in the dark.

I wish you could see the thank you in the eyes of all the people you have saved or changed here.

And thank you Victor. You have helped to save my home.

Love

JJ

The good news is that the site sells far more than breastforms. It sells clothing , jewelry, wigs, shoes, purses, makeup and more.

Does this mean that I should stop unpacking here?

I am so glad that we will have a permanent home, all I ask is a small corner in the basement - unless you have a lonely garret - I do my best work in lonely garrets.

Thank you for giving us a place and to Victor for helping the mission go on.

Love ya,

Sally

This is great news, many thanks to Victor. I hope we don't have to start over, but it is better than the alternative to not changing at all.

Well, I stated the obvious lol. That's all I have to say. :)

This only goes to show that good things happen to good people in their time of need.

Victor is truely god sent.

First with his wonderful store.

Second with his generous offer of hosting our site.

I for one would be proud to include him in our family.

And was wondering if we couldn't pin this topic or a special topic as a special thanks as to not forget his wonderful gift to us.

Laura, you are so amazingly strong to deal with/put up with everything you do. The news about the dedicated server is awesome! I will continue to give Victor my business, that's for sure! I love my enhancers i bought from him.

Thank you so very much, Laura. You are an inspiration to all of us here. I think that as we can, each of us should be sure to give some amount of business to Victor. That is the best way to say thank you to him for his generosity.

(*tips hat to Victor and makes mental note that his next beer is on me.*)

Many thanks and much appreciation to Victor for the server.

It really is a shame though that people can be so closed minded.

But since we are moving...

I want the room closest to the door that leads out back.

ya know, so i can go find a place to hunt and fish and ride the 4wheeler. B)

      The Inevitably Awkward Intro

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Society is preserved by passing on proper roles for people, which works for the 90+ percent that it works for.   We were all taught from an early age that breaking out of the classification was a shameful thing, even when, actually, it is not.

      I'm probably showing my age.  I haven't looked at a guest count in a long time.  Doing FB and staying off forums for a while.  Previous forum use had fewer bots if any and guests were actual people, mostly, unlike today.    Any AIs or bots struggling with GD are welcome.  I would love to read your introduction.

      I've seen this on a lot of forums tbh. That's how a lot of content ends up on internet archives. You've got loads of bots scanning the site at all times and archiving it. Forums are actually nice (in comparison to social media) in that the guest count gives you a pretty good idea of how actively the site's content is being archived. Basically just don't post anything you don't want archived.

      Kids are resiliant with therapy and strong support ;-)    They were all elementary age when their dad died and are teens now, and how they've grown and developed as young people, already, takes my breath away.   I'm working on communicating changes clearly and without shame, which is difficult basically all the time because of feeling guilty over doing gender "wrong" for so long. Working on that myself! <3

      Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there.  Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened.

      Transgender Naturalist???

      By Charlize · Posted

      Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals.  I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant  for insect identification easier than it has ever been.    Now on to your topic.  I don't farm in the nude.  I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others.  The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl".  I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be.   Hugs,   Charlize

      This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post.

      I am also pretty sure that several of them are folks who are "trans curious".  Sometimes folks who are trying to find their own identity, are attracted to trans folks or who are simply interested in the trans community.   There may also be some who wish to do us harm which is why ......... I've just learned to smile figuring "i'm on candid camera".   I'm sure many of our younger members never experienced that show so my age is showing.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Most of those "guests" are web bots from China, Indonesia, France etc. looking us over. They are mostly benign.  All they can see or gain access to are the general forums.  Members should be careful not to post anything that could readily identify themselves such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. They do not have access to our gallery, blogs or private messenger. They seem to haunt all forums. Not just us. I should add that they can make us known across the internet. That's how prospective members find us. Google would be a good example.

      That's all the matters.   Well me and the wife rode to Perkins for breakfast. As we were waiting for our food. Being it is Sunday There are a few gentleman in suits, my guess from church. I think to myself. I hope I never have to wear one of those monkey suits ever again. Now a nice dress maybe.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      From time to time I've looked at 'Who Is Online" and I have consistently noticed that members are ALWAYS outnumbered by Guests by a wide margin, sometimes, like a minute ago, by more than a 10:1 margin.  I have never seen that before on an internet forum.  It can be explained partly by the nature of what this is, that it draws the curious and they are certainly welcome to read here, and to join, but it leaves me with a feeling of being in a fishbowl.  I wonder who ARE these people?  Donald Trump, is that you? Biden? Sinwar? Putin?  We can only guess.
