Life In 19x19

Very “interesting” … different people get different results when trying to connect with Go4Go

Some sad news again:

https://www.go4go.net is down again, and AFAIK has been for some time already, and had intermittent downtimes anyway in the past several years, IIRC.

Thanks muchly, @xela!

I actually felt like the proverbial “voice of one calling in the wilderness” And I get the impression that the “masters” of this forum aren’t really interested in it anymore.

Sorry – not sorry – for bringing this up again.

Does John Fairbairn (to name just one of our formerly most prolific members) know that L19 is back up?

How would he know? How would we know that he knows?

What about some other old-timers who still are missing? How could we make sure that they all ...

Please forgive the crosspost, but this is an emergency situation.

AFAIK it is possible to modify the menu bar of the forum so that links from “quick links” appear next to the “Notifications” link, as it was before.

I’d much appreciate if “New posts” and “Unread posts” would be put back there, and ideally also “Unanswered topics”, “Active topics” and “Members”.

Thanks, Robert, I obviously missed that – because I got much less active here due to rising engagement on the OGS forum.

It appears that still no email has been sent out to L19 users – or have I missed it?

How are we to get John, Bill, and others to return here if they don’t know that L19 has been resurrected? I’d imagine that many regular users would have given up after a few months of L19 being down, and I also ...

Rest In Peace, Richard Bozulich!

Today, a sad news arrived: Richard Bozulich passed away on March 09, 2026.

Just an hour ago, his grand-daughter posted the following in the largest English-speaking Go group on Facebook :

Richard’s name is well-known in the anglophone Go community ...

Pls forgive me for replying once again instead of editing my former post but this is about something VERY different:

Now that L19 has been successfully updated to the latest phpBB, I believe it would be a good thing to migrate L19 to a more modern forum software , for example to NodeBB or (my ...

I wonder how all our “old timers” would learn about the resurrection of this forum if they don’t receive emails telling them about it … I’m not sure they all check SL’s L19 status page regularly or the OGS forum thread about L19’s crash and resurrection or the similar thread on r/baduk … I for one ...

• I dearly miss being able to click “thank you”

Just noticed that in another thread there’s a button that I could click, apparently it’s not everywhere?

Thanks muchly , @apetresc :bow:

Some things that I immediately noticed:

The “Quick links” menu has these links:
Your posts
New posts
Unread posts
Unanswered topics
Active topics
Search
Members
The team

Formerly, IIRC most of these used to be on the right side in the first or second ...
