Nothing unusual very early wendsday. Alex, thanks for the heads up.,Cornflake thanks for the clarification and putting it on on top of all the sections. I was confused also thinking it meant down permanently and the discord discussion was about what form WP would take in the post WP as we knew it era.

What follows is I hope precautionary since I don’t know when WP may go down, or for how long, or if will if it would be available be very slow again.

Goodbye I hope temporarily. This is a good time to reiterate I thank all here present and past, members who have moved on in life or moved to the great beyond for welcoming a confused just diagnosed me, sustaining me through the horrible tongue cancers tongue replacement operations of 2015 and 2016 and life’s challenges since. You all have helped sustain my autistic brain all these years. A special thanks to Alex starting and sustaining this. Thanks to the dearly departed Ass-P and The Walrus whom we all miss. Thanks to Kingdom of Rats for schooling me about High Support needs autistics. B19 became a great friend and ND advocate(she is alive and well despite age related infirmities). Thanks to all those such as Auntblabby and CockneyRebel who have been here since I joined. Magz was a great moderator and poster. Special thanks to Cornflake for moderating alone all this time. Special thanks to IsabellaLinton and TwilightPrincess whom through persistence and bravery brought to the attention of Cornflake a very serious hidden problem that Cornflake acted upon making WP a much better place. Isabella is dealing with an aftereffects of an excruciating family tragedy for a while now. All I can offer is my support. Same to Twilight for whatever she may be dealing with that is keeping her off of WP. Special thanks to Mona Pereth who despite our disagreements brought a fresh perspective to ND advocacy, see you on the chat board. FXE and Carlos55 were also people who proved disagreeing about important things does not mean being disagreeable.

I did not name so many people. I need to get this out before whatever.

Whatever unwanted change will be tough but you are survivors remember that.

A suggestion. The error message during downtime should be informative.

Through a PM it has come to my attention that the above may be misinterpreted. The goodbye is meant to be a goodbye just in case things do not go as planned as has been known to happen with moving to new server. If WP is really slow as I have in the past when that happened I won’t be here.

If things go as planned great. The possibly of significant disruption presented a good time to say
thanks. I can see how that can be interpreted as a voluntary goodbye and I am sorry for that.

I also want to give a special shout-out to a few people on WP in case the forums do get shut down soon:

Specifically people like enz for playing Nintendo Switch games with me, nick007 for helping me & giving me advice, same with TwilightPrincess and IsabellaLinton and Aspiegaming for giving me advice about the best strategies for fighting boss The Imprisoned in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword!! !

It's been a good run for Wrong Planet and I will sincerely miss all the friends that I have made on here...

I think others might have noticed but maybe can't get in because of log in issues, luckily I am still logged in on my tablet.

WELCOME BACK EVERYONE :heart: I am soooo relieved that I haven't lost my old stuff from my MONKEY account. Just incase this happens again I should perhaps screenshot it all.
