Hmmmm... so that ^ ^ ^ appears to be a stock message. Here we go with a REAL one!
Hello, you are on the new Toronto Renters' Forum dot com website. The abandoned domain has been re-activated by volunteers who were, and who are generally nonplussed with the way the previous management took the system down, ergo on short notice and with no follow-up.
For my part I have been trying to figure out what happened... for instance I tried to raise the issue at the November TAC meeting that was held over Zoom Communications software. No action, no meaningful replies. I spoke 1:1 with Laura Anonen for at least a half hour last month at the Health Fair but I mostly stressed meetings that don't talk to each other, like when the North York planning dept. holds its "virtual" consultations, and members of city council jump back and forth around virtual and in-person town halls that dispense with any adherence to any rules of order. Arrrrgh. If you are at at something that purports to be a public meeting then you should be able to raise your hand, and in my opinion and your question - or even your attempt at a question - should be noted!
The previous software was the "Simple Machines Forum"; this program here is an open source setup called "phpBB" - the people behind it are at https://phpbb.com
Nothing is carved in stone and I *definitely* need help with settings things up - like there should at least a basic shell - ahead of (hopefully) in-person meetings with interested parties.
I am using phpBB on this domain/site because I am more comfortable with it. There is also a test installation of another program, "MyBB".
I am not 100% wild about the default text and functions that come with a new phpBB installation, so you will likely see some changes in the next few weeks.
Thank you for your interest in the Toronto Renters’ Forum concept.
