Emergency Plan for VFers - in case we need a backup place to find each other

Hi everyone. The other thread got many of us thinking about having an emergency/backup plan just in case if and when videofitenss.com is not working great.
I would hate to lose contact with you all. And not everyone uses facebook.

Do you have any suggestion about how to find each other in case of emergency?

I thought having an email list or something will be a good start.

Any other suggestions? Would anyone like to be in charge of gathering everyone's contacts, or having some place we can register where we can find each other?

Similar talks have taken place about how long VF will last. Many of us are registered at VF Roost. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/vfroost/

The ladies there are also here. You need permission to join just like here. I bounce back and forth between the two.

Some users of the old Weight Watchers message boards set up a forum at freeforums.net - I think you start the free forum via ProBoards.com. I reached out to administrator.

freeforums.net has the same bulletin board look and feel that we like here at VF. It's simpler though, not a lot of options for posting images. We could still have multiple boards for general, check-ins, etc. The search function works but I don't think it has the tagging feature.

Here's what it looks like anyway:

Thanks, Pat! That is a good idea.

The tapatalk board was set up after another VF Down scare and already has about 50 VFers there on VFRoost. One of the member requirements is to also be a member of VF. Also a bit more basic than this board, but it's up, running and being administrated. I got approved in a couple of minutes this morning.

So if you could clarify... is the WW Board only for those using that program?

Anyone can join in, it's free. People migrated to a different and free forum when WW shut down the message boards on their website.

A new, separate board could be set up for videofitness at freeforums by anyone wants to do that.

I had joined tapatalk, but my approval is pending. I sent an email about being approved. I cannot even recall how long ago I applied.

When this subject came up before, someone (I don't remember who) contacted Mary and asked if we could switch to her forum and she said we would be welcome. So, that is another option.
