Hello there!

I have been doing a "sweep" of the internet trying to gather up displace TSF members.

The site has gone "down" and there is news it will be "back up" but nobody knows yet. However, a lot of us were really upset and out of place, so we set up a Reddit group called TSFSurvivors as a hub to try and gather old members and keep them up to date on what is happening with TSF (which we barely know ourselves).

We chose Reddit because many members don't use or want Facebook and Reddit only requires a username.

Please come join us. www.reddit.com/r/TSFSurvivors

It saddens me to see it may well have gone... I loved it and learned a lot. Much like you, eddie, I would have liked to stay in touch with some members

Last time this happened they said they would put up a Facebook page, but I can't see one. I really loved the sewing forum, it was very useful and people were very helpful.

I wish they`d given a bit of warning. There were a couple of people on it who I would like to have kept in touch with - we had exchanged pm`s but I didn`t keep a note of their personal emails

I used to belong to that as well, I think it's folded. I have to say it was useful, but not very user friendly.

no tanith - it was .co.uk rather than .com. It was much busier than the .com one

I`m clutching at straws here but I was a regular visitor to The Sewing Forum (a separate forum, not part of Gransnet) but it seems to have vanished. I`m really missing it as it was very helpful for sewing advice. Just wondered if anyone knows anything about it
