I do hope the HYP stalwarts arrive soon!

[MyNameIsUrl]

Though far from being a stalwart, the 'Tenth anniversary of my HYP' is due June 2017

Another x TMFer, but I've changed my username slightly. Now I'll have to work out what I do about my previous December year end HYP updates as all the previous ones on the TMF site and soon to disappear.

I think the Fool boards are only locking new posts and going read-only on 17th Nov aren't they so your old posts should still be readable and linkable to? No guarantees how long that will last of course.

Alternatively, couldn't you copy and paste any of your previous posts that you need for context into new posts here, remembering to include the dates of the original posts in the body of the text of course since the posts themselves would all be dated 2016? I think you have copyright on your posts so there is nothing to stop you re-posting old stuff here as alluded to in my "Could we make something positive..." thread in this forum.

I'm not a lawyer so I could be wrong on copyright by the way.

Another who has been on TMF for years but mostly in lurker mode. It would be sad to see such a great resource disappear so here's hoping this site is a worthy successor!

[mickeypops]

Long term lurker who doesn't post a whole lot, but gets loads of great information and advice from the boards. I'm more of an IT investor than a HYPer these days, so I hope Luniversal "jumps ship" over here to continue with his IT baskets updates.

Great to see some of the "stalwarts" here already.

Long time lurker and learner but I wish this site well. TMF played a major part in my decision to consolidate multiple pensions and start a SIPP back in 2003 and I have followed the HYP boards since then. I'd even be willing to make a monthly donation if this effort takes off and the hosting costs become prohibitive.

Another lurker who has migrated over from the 'other place'.

Hi,

These forums seem to be an improvement over the Motley Fool software - images and the ability to edit and quote.

Glad to see that people are moving across. I just hope that any occasional Doris visitors realise that we've moved.

Testing the quote function.

Another mainly lurker has moved over and glad to see many familiar names here already. Have kept the same name as before to keep things simple. My thanks for setting this up. Let's hope that this works as so many want it to do, as so much has been learnt and so many friendships made through TMF discussion boards in the past.
aye yours

I wish this site well and may be willing to post more here than I did on the Fool.

I do hope so - nice to see you have signed up.

[funduffer]

I've arrived.

Good to see a fair few of us also have.

Right, registered here now.
Will now sit back and lurk as I mainly did at the Fool. Hope this works as well as the other place. Good to see the witty and wise are making their way here.

Greetings and thanks for creating an alternative, whilst I posted rarely I did read and learn from Motley Fool.

James, I'm not certain either of your two adjectives apply, but I'm happy to join you and others in debt of gratitude for all the informed wisdom I have received over the past 10 years.

"LUNI" = Lurking Under New Identity ???

[ManInTheStreet]

Woo hoo! The HYP Practical board continues in a new guise.

Depression mode off!

Somewhere new to lurk.

[Bitofathickie]

Another lurker here.

Great initiative and as a novice investor look forward to reading the wise words of the resident "leviathans".

Good to see PYAD here too, always stimulating to read and the older I get the more like Doris I become.

Well done one and all.

Thickie.

Great to see this site working .long time lurker but just had to wish it well as I would have been lost without it. Keep up the good work guys ,you know who you are .

[Sacky]

Hi all - I'm another prolific lurker who is grateful for the sanity check of the HYP board over many years. Thanks to those who sorted out an alternative so quickly.

[staffordian]

Great to see some familiar names here, feels like home already, especially if we can look forward to Pyad keeping everyone's feet firmly on the ground

[Charlottesquare]

Well, at 360 and rising, there is obviously a degree of optimism about this new site, may not be premature to say (and no sexism intended),

"Guess who just got back today
Them wild eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
(I said) the boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)"
