Oxton bows out // a replacement forum

Jul 12 2005

For reasons that will, and rightly should, remain entirely private, John Oxton of Joshuaink has hung up his blogging gloves. While I, and many others I am sure, hope that it is only a temporary retirement – John is definitely one of the most enjoyable bloggers to read – it unfortunately also spells the end for the short-lived Joshuaink forums.

While traffic was understandably low for a new forum, it was already turning into a very nice little corner of the web, and I for one am sad to lose it…

A replacement

So much so that I have set up an experimental replacement PunBB board in case there needs to be somewhere alternative for questions to be asked. I have no idea if it will be of any interest to anyone at all, but – it’s there anyway.

An excellent read that Mr.Oxton, sorry he has had enough of blogging. Hopefully he will return in time.

I’m glad to see you have picked up the forum, it was becoming a damn fine spot to visit indeed.

Thanks for this Matthew.

Damn – and here was I about to catch up on some of John’s latest posts. I’ve been too busy to check blogs recently.

We’ll miss you, John. All the best, mate.

Nice one, John – and glad to see you’ve not disconnected from the web altogether.

Hope everything works out for you. :)
