Oh man, I hope the experience I've had on these sites for years doesn't change. I don't want to see crappy, clickbait articles.

Hey all!

To cut to the chase, @Golfdriver97, you're right... this isn't bad news, it's GREAT news! This is just the beginning of a new journey for all of us including our members, and amazing volunteers like you!

Everyone on our team that you've worked with including @Michelle Haag, @Bla1ze and myself aren't going anywhere. We're now part of a larger family of communities and we're super excited about it. TL/DR, you should be too.

In the months ahead we're going to need your help, feedback and expertise as we GROW our volunteer group and take on new challenges. I hope you'll stick with us for the ride (I know you will), because it's going to be a lot of fun!

Any questions, concerns, ANYTHING - hit me up direct or in this thread. I've been working on an update for the volunteers but it looks like you beat me to the punch

What about Crackberry Kevin?

What about TechnoBuffalo?

 

[James Falconer]

@stackberry369 @TheUntitledOS32 - CrackBerry Kevin and TechnoBuffalo aren't going anywhere either

@James Falconer a question for you: where is the mobile nations website, crackberry et al, currently hosted - which country/ countries.

Re: Android Central is under a sale transaction, apparently

I'm venturing a weak guess that if it was purposely omitted, a buyer would be interested in only 'sure things'. And Blackberry's future has been pretty shaky. I would have thought that WC would have been off the list, but I guess that site has migrated away from phones to everything Windows. Blackberry is hurting (look at how they now have Android OS) and hopefully will survive and not be lost like Windows Mobile and the greatest OS of all time (IMHO) webOS.

Like I said.. I know as much as you all and this is just a wild guess.

CrackBerry is about more than BlackBerry handsets. It is also the go to place for news about what BlackBerry is now doing as a software company (and there is a lot going on). It Is really a go to place for BlackBerry news and the company as a whole.

@Heavens1 - Not sure where all the servers/etc. are currently, but you can learn more about the entire network right here: MobileNations.com.

 

[James Falconer]

@Sigewif - glad you feel that way, I totally agree!

@Heavens1 - Not sure where all the servers/etc. are currently[/QUOTE @James Falconer that knowledge would certainly help us to figure out why all our (or at least my) times seem to be UTC, even though I have my timezone set correctly, both on the site and on the computer.

This is awesome.

James one of the reasons behind my question is that the privacy, and other laws and regs, are dependant upon the country of the hosting site, and I'm guessing the current sites are hosted in the US - but maybe not.

Thanks for furthering this.

I don't know about anyone else, but I hope the new (UK) owners host the mona site in the EU - where privacy laws can respect the person first and the corporation etc second.

Does hosting site matter? I’m guessing this is GDPR related?
