I mean, would be cool if the actual band kicked in a few clams too - could be wrong but I seem to remember NOOL even being listed in the credits of something official once...maybe the Singles comp?

Where will you go off to instead? I'm not Johnny James (please see comments above, Mr Z) but I vote: Reddit. Why? because Reddit is a 'specialist' kinda place where people go to discuss a particular subject (such as a band). Contrast that with Facebook where NO posts just become part of someone's casual FB feed. Also musicians -includng Peter Hook- have done AMA's (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit. I don't really know where else is appropriate unless you do a Discord group, but the problem with Discord is that comments just kinda fly up the screen and get lost when new comments are made. It's fine for say, a listening party, but not so great for having subjects/threads that are easy to go back to, AFAIK. As for Telegram, i think that's way too private. (I'm happy to be corrected on these thoughts, I'm just spitballing here.) Also I hold a grudge against Facebook for decimating this place! There are some very knowledgeable people in the NO FB groups (some people from here for e.g), but the general low level of the posts can be a bit tedious and repetitive too. So, Reddit.

I find Reddit quite annoying, and I'd probably not visit very often. I'd say a general New Order thread on Steve Hoffman forums is more like what we are used to, in that it's forum-based and is moderated (and will be around for the foreseeable). I know a few of us are on there already My preferences in order would be 1) this forum gets handed over to a new host (seems unlikely given the radio silence) 2) someone sets up a brand new forum to mirror this one and we start again 3) a general NO thread on Steve Hoffman 4) reddit 5) definitely not Facebook!
