still alive - the retirement of the forum

Hey all, two things.
Thing 1: I am still kicking about - hoping to re-commit to this again some time this side of the decade (if I had a pound for every time I've said that, I'd be rich)
Thing 2: I retired the forum feature on the website. Originally, I had envisioned it as being a place where people could ask questions judgement free and just chat in a more informal environment.
Unfortunately, it didn't get much use, and ultimately was basically just used by Russian bots to spam links to scam websites of all varieties, and Wix's user management system is not very intuitive, meaning it wasn't worth trying to get rid of the scam users when there were thousands of them signed up.
Please do feel free to email me, I've had some lovely emails and chatted to some lovely people because of them! If you've got questions you think I can answer, my email is joshuagross0801@gmail.com! I'm always happy to answer!
that's all for now. As I mentioned above, I'm hoping to get back to all of this again soon, but I'm famously unreliable when it comes to this :)
