I can't believe it's been 4 years.  
So we lost the possibility of getting back the domain... someone else got it... ugh.  

Anywaaay, would anyone be interested to have this back up and running again?  
Possibly gotta go for a new name and things... the skin is very basic now too. 
I don't wanna put too much effort into it if there's 0 interest, though. 

[skouliki]

maybe it is better to open a thread in your forum so we can discuss it there with more details
i would like to see you open your forum again but take into consideration that activity seems to be down nowadays

I too would like you to open up your forum, i really liked your forum and it did help a lot of people, however like skouliki said membership activity as has dropped considering.

[TheCrow]

In regards of a name, you could try "graficballoon" instead or maybe "graphixballoon" or "grafixballoon". But I did not understand what you mean by "Interested on getting this up and running". You don't want it anymore or you want someone else to run it? I am confused..

I think she's asking if we would be interested in her re-opening it.

[Mimóza]

Aw, it's tough. We never really "made it" in the past either and if activity dropped even more it's really not too appealing... :\

And as BlackScorpion said, that was just a question if there's interest from people to make this "online" again... or something like that.

Also, thanks for the name suggestions. 

[Mimóza]

Are we back?

Are you still around?

Would you be interested

in the forums again?

Let us know.

Also, please, don't click on the links around,

they lead to a 18+ site at the moment,

since someone else got our old domain.

They'll be edited as soon as possible.
