Sad day today fellas. I know many of you guys at one point were talkers at the QDMA forum. That was where I got my start in supercharging my habitat knowledge. It's been an interesting run from there. First the MN trouble-makers (of which I are one) were slowly booted. Then similar kind left voluntarily and Habitat Talk was born. Similar troubles played out there, and the tribe was on the march again. QHMG was born outta that.
Well today, QHMG officially died and was taken offline by the admin, and with it, everyone's extensive contributions including thousands of pictures and special projects. I don't know the whole story and I don't care. The point of this post is that I want to share my idea on "logging" my habitat work and contributing to the land loving community.
Today I made the decision to quit posting my habitat story and land updates on forums. Please know this is not meant to ignite an argument here or discourage anyone else from sharing their stuff. I made the decision to start my own web page to archive and share my projects. I did this so nobody else can pull the plug on me or my content. I have lost my stuff twice now. Never again.
I'm still very much pro-forum and will continue to participate here as long as I am welcomed. However, to ensure continuity of my story, I'm taking responsibility for my content and it's ability to live on. I guess my whole point is, be sure to have a backup plan for your story in case your journal gets taken from you like mine was today. It's a real tragedy when information like the adventures of Paul Knox are at risk of vanishing from the web.
