What can we do to help?

Concerning message #23717:

Hi Bill,

What can we do to help keep the forum up, or transcribe it to something on a smaller scale? I'm not exactly a "computer zero", but nowhere near the top 5 either, but have some experience with Flickr, Facebook, and bulletin boards.

Cheers, Jeff

Low, J., 2010 (Jun 4) What can we do to help?. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/23728

Dear Jeff,

I suspect at the moment the best thing you can do is keep your fingers crossed [or what ever else you do for good luck]. I was only told yesterday that the Forum had to close in a week so after 12 years I wanted to give regular participants and visitors a few days notice before it closed. As I said it will be back as a static site within a few days but nothing will be able to be added.

I am grateful for the offers of help I have received. One of these looks quite promising, so if enough of you keep your fingers crossed the forum may be back quite soon.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
