VLH CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT

[lucgeo]

May I take this opportunity to thank Little Nomad for carrying on this forum, for as long as he has, in the wake of the sudden sad loss of his mum & dad (Nomad).

This forum, set up by Nomad, has been a great source of help and information for the last 22 years, and has helped me enormously with support and information from everyone who contributed.

It is fully understandable that Little Nomad is now closing the site now it's due for renewal, as his interests and free time lie elsewhere.

I wish everyone the very best in your future careers with Tesco...to the late Nomad I say...thank you sir R.I.P. 

[rupert7]

thank you for keeping me informed on your web site, it will be a said day for us all, but i wish you all the best, and thank you once again.

Little Nomad, I fully understand your decision to close down VLH. As sad as it is for all of us on here, I wholeheartedly wish you well for the future and a heartfelt thanks for all your hard work over the years in running the site.

Your father helped countless people on here since he set up VLH and has set an example to us all in fighting against injustice and standing up for others who need help. A true inspiration to us all.

To everyone else on here, particularly those that I have had many an exchange with over the years, both as Loki and Magyar, I wish you all well. Who knows, maybe many of us have met in person without knowing it on here!

Peace and love to you all.

A shame this site is going, it's been a help. I'm going to take a screenshot of anything i think may be of help in the future

is there anyway we can preserve just a frozen snapshot of the whole site, even if it's no longer usable? cos really, there is a wealth of information on here that could prove useful in a number of ways to people fighting this company as it goes down the pan. It's a shame it doesn't ever seem to have been picked up by archive.org's wayback machine, though that's perhaps by design, for privacy etc, I understand. But it seems like such a loss to see all this effort go up in smoke.

[Call me]

Is there anyone else to take over this site such a shame it's going   

[fatlad]

Is there anyone else to take over this site such a shame it's going

Thank you Nomad (rip), little Nomad, and everyone who contributed all the knowledge and fun all these years, a very helpfull website for sure.

I guess the next forum for us will be reddit.

[londoner83]

Massive thanks to Little Nomad for continuing his dad's project for these past few months at what was no doubt a distressing time in his life.

VLH has earnt its place in the history books as a great workplace forum where many of us came for advice/help or even to vent. It will be greatly missed.

It's been a pleasure to talk with fellow workers over the years.

Sad to see VLH go but glad to have been a small part of it. The time, effort and money, put into this site , i'm sure has been appreciated by everyone that logged in, whether to post a comment or just to lurk about and find answers. Thank you.

How much (ballpark) would it cost each year for someone to takeover the running of the site, assuming that the moderators would be willing to continue doing their good work?

[grim up north]

Little nomad said £600 + per year

[BarryZola]

Oh. If it was around £100 I probably would have taken it on, but £600 is a bit too much for me each year. Nevermind...

[FarmerFred]

Could probably be done cheaper, particularly if someone was to self host it, but it would require a fair bit of effort in migrating etc.

[barafear]

We could do a bit of crowdfunding, maybe target £1500 to cover two years, but other than the cost, what is the time required for administration and moderation?
