There was a post on Manners for a Modern World that EH might be closing down sooner than expected so if you have anybody who's info you want to get, to do it sooner than later. 

Unless they're already here, of course.

...Why?

The admin on MfaMW didn't say and there isn't anything on EH.  Just thought I'd pass the info along.

As I mentioned in Manners, there's one person I'd love to get contact info for, but she checks eHell so infrequently that she may not even be aware it's closing.

PM them at the very least, they may have the box set to notify their e-mail. Or I can if you no longer have board access.

I am also still amongst the Unbanned, and will happily make connections through PM if anyone wants.

If you go to the blog, and click on "COMMUNITY" from the menu on top, it brings to you a page that says:

"Community
After 14 years, it was announced in early May 2018 that the Ehell forum would be closing.   Large forums are expensive to operate on servers and until recently the forum had paid for itself from Google Adsense ads. However, revenue had been declining in the past two years and the forum can not longer sustain it.
Longtime members chose to create and migrate to a new forum.  It uses the same forum software, mostly same topics, the same familiar feel and many posters you will recognize.   It is not affiliated with Etiquette Hell LLC  in any way.   It can be found here."


However, the board is still open - I had it saves as a bookmark so I was able to access it that way.

...It's free to run this forum.  We've had 25,000 hits in less than two days.

Wait...are you saying that the Dame was not being completely truthful about why the forum is closing and that there could have been another reason?  LOL!

Ehell's posting numbers have been on a serious decline since 2011!  Number of new topics (and posts) in 2012 were half the number in 2011
