HSX Members, Please Read for Updates...
First and foremost, if you have not taken the survey, please do so. It can be found a few posts down and here as well: https://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=497369
If you have taken the survey you should see immediate results. But here they are as well to reference going forward: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-8Y2TLZ5X7/ This shows how many of us there still are playing/lurking and how passionate we remain. I can't thank you all enough for contributing.
I have been talking to dozens of you in email and I appreciate all of those that are willing to help, and those that have expressed as much in the survey. Please keep that up.
Lastly, I wanted to give a small update on the uphill battle we're facing. Rather than type it out I felt it was good to put a face to a name and quickly explain some of the discussions. I made a quick video. It was a first attempt, so please do not judge how bad it is (and how many times I used the words "a lot").
You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJI0RPjfmtQ&t=
I don't want to get any of our hopes up. I'll know more in the next couple days and I'll update as is necessary. At this time I ask that anyone who has not yet filled out the survey to PLEASE DO SO.
I want to be transparent, and regular updates are the best way I know how to do that. Please know however, this is evolving and discussions will likely shift. When there is more of a setting concrete we'll work together to see who can speak for us as a board.
You may think this is too much info, but I assure you, this is not a drill, there is a REAL possibility this site will go dark. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
Have a good evening,
lobo

Alabama to Clarence: "You're so cool." {nm} May 03, 15:04

Thanks for the update and thanks for telling it like it is. {nm} May 03, 15:15
no problem. hopefully we get some good news this week. {nm} May 03, 15:33
Hey, thanks for giving it your best shot. Worse case scenario, we all reunite somewhere... {nm} May 03, 15:16
I’ll keep going until they’re is no room to wiggle. Yeah, there are boards that exist we could migrate to or create a new one. May 03, 15:35

Hello from looooooong dead ghost of the David Fund May 03, 15:34
Why not start crowdfunding right away? If we don't raise enough to buy HSX, we could build our own. {nm} May 03, 16:50
I'd feel more comfortable starting that process when there was a Board (and specified volunteer roles) in place. May 03, 17:20
uncertain how others feel about it, but we can poll the idea if we run out of options {nm} May 03, 21:32
Great video...you are adorable! {nm} May 03, 18:08

Thanks a lot for that video, Lobo. May 04, 16:49
Lobo, re: "Are you qualified?" Before you gave your background my first thought was you are qualified because you stepped up. May 03, 18:39
you’re definitely not off in your suggestions. that is in discussion currently. thank you for the kind words. {nm} May 03, 19:00
definitely a fair question and I thought I should address it. as I’ve said, I hope a strong board can be formed and thise May 03, 19:26
Dumb question, but could we reverse engineer a site? May 03, 20:31
it can be done, but you’ll lose all the history within each port. you’d lose all the history of everything, really. the May 03, 21:31
Would we need much history, though? May 04, 07:43
Please consider the benefits of taking this type of discussion to a non-public forum. Thank you. {nm} May 04, 10:34
would you please email me... May 04, 11:10
A valid point. An email list is easy enough, I can set one up if desired. {nm} May 04, 13:21
Appreciate the update and the inside look at the challenges. Thanks for leading the charge. Excelsior! {nm} May 03, 21:15

heh, that’s not a bad idea actually {nm} May 04, 04:43
Great vid, thanks for the update. But I don't think someone who wears a Butler Bulldog hat is qualified. Haha, jk. {nm} May 04, 04:19
go Dogs! {nm} May 04, 04:44
I believe they wanted to turn this into an actual exchange, using real money. {nm} May 04, 07:45
The Cantor Exchange experiment was a decade ago.... Amazing how time flies. {nm} May 04, 07:47
I have to believe that there is a potential untapped user-base out there for HSX. May 04, 07:55
YouTube says "Video Unavailable - This Video Is Private" {nm} May 04, 08:31
I get the same {nm} May 04, 11:37
I took it private for a bit. I'll update here when I turn it back on... sorry for the inconvenience {nm} May 04, 11:55
okay, I turned it back on. {nm} May 04, 15:35
I thought you were going to be a basement neckbeard but pleasantly relieved. {nm} May 04, 16:06
How many digits are Cantor ball-parking the price of this thing? May 04, 16:08
