Amazing!!
So thankful to Manlobbi for making these new (old-looking) boards happen!!
I will do my part to contact former TMF folks and suggest that they consider moving to this new platform.
Cheers!!

Thanks a million '38Packark for doing this.
I pass my gratitude sincerely to everyone else also for such kind and supportive words.
We want this to work long-term - and it will - but just a few notes on short-term actions:
1. Whilst some users at discussion.fool.com will return here, preferring the cultural idiosyncrasies of this platform, there are many other users who have simply left. These are the ones that especially must be found, and returned! Please go through all your email correspondence to try to identify these lost souls, and let them know that their home as not been taken away from them. This part doesn't depend on me - it *only* depends on you. Actions.
2. When letting people know about Shrewdom (a compound-term for Shrewd-Kingdom), please pass them www.shrewdom.com, and not the digitalscores url. Why? Because www.shrewdom.com is permanent and digitalscores is temporary and it would be a shame if they return to the link later and it does not work. If you published links to digitalscores already and can edit, change it to www.shrewdom.com.
3. Starting posting interesting insights about Berkshire here without question, but also please cast your attention widely also: try to help to save lost cultures elsewhere. I'm still resurrecting other boards that have gone missing (or their inhabitants at least!) so please help to find these communities and bring them back. Also post at the Shrewdom board 'Any Missing Board Requested Here' about any boards that you want returned -IF- you are prepared to also help round up the community.
Other than that.. Smell the roses, and Shrewd on!

Hi Manlobbi -
In reaching out to others, WendyBG on the METaR board is choosing to not participate due to two concerns:
1. This platform is not secure (as in SSL?)
2. She chooses to not provide an email address on an insecure connection.
Are there plans to move this to a set of secure servers?
Thanks again!

I replied to WendyBG there, and the main answer is that the platform will have SSL added soon. It is very straightforward.
The warmth expressed is really pleasant, nevertheless as the days ensue we can return to marketing subjects as 'OT:' when not related to Berkshire Hathaway. There is no problem of course having a lot of 'OT:' posts here (and there should a lot early on!) but they should still be marked.
