Hey there. Yes, unfortunately this is still an issue. I remember Dags popping up on the Great British Hobbit League Facebook group a couple of years ago saying he was trying to fix it. As I deleted my Facebook account I no longer have access to the group, so I don't know if there's any news about it, but I can only assume the attempt failed.

I was quite passionate about trying to get it back a few years ago, but I've come around to accept that it's never going to happen. Alan is understandably busy and has a life outside of this forum, and many members of the current SBG community have probably never used this site, so it has been left behind.

It's a shame, I love it here. I love how it's anonymous, pure hobby, and nothing to do with Facebook. I love how it looks, I love the smilies, I love the flairs etc. I love how it doesn't advertise to me or try and hook me with notifications. It's enormously nostalgic for me, as I created my account here in 2013, and lurked here for three years prior to that. All good things come to an end, and this forum was unmistakably a very good thing.
