• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Will The Last One Leaving...

i have been watching this program called DOOMS DAY, and to watch it you see it can happen at any moment, one good solar flash, and we can loose power for a very long time
 
Really. ...😲

seems all predictions are so far into the future that all of us here now will never see hear or feel any of it. We need less predictions and more solutions for the here and now....:lecturef_smilie: How many years has this planet been around...?
 
And a lot of people thought the world ended last Tuesday!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I'll have to check my schedule to see if I'll be able to move to a new planet then.:yikes::yes::yes:

Yes, we need to find "solutions for the here and now" because if we don't there won't be any tomorrows!!!!
 
1000 yrs.. I worried we won't last a yr if society doesn't change and stop coddling our youth. nojoke
 
Well... I believe it will all end....

...but not in the way that Dr. Hawking has predicted. I'm not confident to say when... I just don't know when. I just want to make it through each day and figure out - like one of my old teachers told us - how to make someone else's day better. If this is too political/religious/philosophical and out-of-bounds for this forum, an admin can delete it and I would not be offended.

Sorry to hear that we have such a short time left. :roflblack::roflblack:

Here is some musical humor to lighten the subject up a bit.

It's our buddies from Hee Haw of course. :yes:

Many of us have more pressing things to worry about. So, I don't worry about the small stuff. :roflblack:

Hi Gene,

Re: How many years has this planet been around...?

Depending upon your source: 4.5 -> 5.5 billion years. And she is expected to have a total lifetime of 12 billion years.

For more info, I recommend THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PLANET EARTH by Peter Ward & Donald Brownlee.
