Since the thread on this article is closed ElseWhere, I thought it would be nice to post a link to the overland article here too in case anybody wants to discuss it. I thought it was a lovely tribute. https://overland.org.au/2021/04/watching-our-words-and-spaces-disappear-the-death-of-the-essential-baby-forum/

Reading that article again has made me a bit teary today. I am so glad the article was written, to acknowledge what we’ve lost. I am still confused as to why eb forum was closed just after undergoing a major upgrade.

OnFire I don’t know much about the technical side of these things, but it almost makes me wonder if it was in such a state that it required an upgrade that big to actually ‘pull the plug’ on it in the first place, so to speak.

I still feel sad about it, all those stories gone. Remember Julia who had the blog Five Fellas and a Fairy and wrote a book about her cancer diagnosis? It would have been nice for her posts to be there for her girls to see if they wanted to one day.

Thank you CallMeAl. I just read it again. Every time I read it, I feel emotional. Very well written. I’m glad it was written. I bet Jules would have written one too.
