So no change with MacTalk owners even with the obvious exodus of members?
No change at all.
Personally Iād consider that an invitation to go ahead and close it up, directing all the remaining few members over there to here as well, but thatās just me. I doubt they would notice either way.
And that is down to me again. Still havenāt had my phone call. Hoping to do so on Tuesday though.
Donāt be too hard on yourself as the unpaid volunteer moderator. Itās not on you, itās on the owners.
It is my fault given they were open to conversation and Iāve had a host of things prevent me having the time to sort things out with them.
Niche are incompetent fuckwits. Stop wasting your time with them and MacTalk and focus your efforts elsewhere.

HI there, all,
Iām Ozi on MacTalk, and joined up in June 2004. Confusingly it was called Appletalk back then.
I had over 2000 posts there, but the community kinda died (duh!) so lets hope this becomes a vibrant, exciting, supportive and wonderful online community.
Just like the original AppleTalk/MacTalk used to be!

Good to see that thereās still a place where Aussie MacNerds can come and chill.
I was iMac over on MacTalk, iMac here. Joined MTAU just after the name change in 2006 and loved the community and wealth of knowledge, sadly I stopped visiting just prior to the sale and was shocked when I came back to it and found it had really gone to shit.
Glad to have found this place. Now, lets make it shine.

Have been lurking on here for a couple of months after seeing the site mentioned on MacRumors on the front page on one of the news stories.
Anyway abandon MacTalk along time ago and have moved on to Whirlpool. Regardless I go by Kyle-K in most places and itās good to see some familiar faces or names anyway around on here.
Time will tell if I continue to lurk OR get more involved.

iva on MacTalk and iva here.
Didnāt say a lot overall but followed MacTalk discussions pretty much daily. Brought and sold a few things on the For Sale forum. Each trade was a really positive experience. MacTalkers were a surprisingly fair and trustworthy bunch.
Moved overseas a few years back and didnāt find a comparable Mac-focused community where Iāve been living. Back home for a while now, and sad to see that MacTalk is no more. Glad that the community lives on here.
