The Demise of the Wolfeboro Online Forums

I was really sad to see this happen. We have two different pieces of property in Wolfeboro and it was nice to see what was happening in the town...as much as I'd like to spend more time there it isn't an option for us since our business is here in Arizona and the forum was a good way to find out what was going on in town, regardless of the negative views of some people ....everyone is entitled to their opinion. I feel like my information source has been cut off! So sad.

One of the former Wolfboro Online administrators is starting up a site that will include Wolfeboro Forums. Don't know what will become of the webcams though....not that they usually worked!

There were three forums at Wolfeboro On Line (WOL):
1) Wolfeboro General Discussions
2) [Everything] Beyond Wolfeboro
3) [Political/Social] Hot & Sensitive

Hundreds of people from around the world visited there.

My guess is that the forum with the least amount of potential damage (Wolfeboro General Discussions) was the cause of its downfall. Somebody in a well-connected business made a telephone call. Same thing happened with the Town of Tuftonboro forum just last week.

Time to get it back, I say!

Wonder if this were the result of a poll - the majority of NH residents...

Tuftonboro's wasn't a true forum and it shut down a year or so ago.
