Or maybe they could switch to a different domain and fwd ppl there when they type in the original domain.

Interesting.  So it could be that the name was seized which is pretty much what the twitter message said.  Wonder how when it's fixed, the membership will be notified of the new name?  Probably via the twitter feed. 

Any of you PR refugees follow their twitter feed?

Hi SM! So good to see you!  /default_smile.png  I have been following the twitter feed and so far I haven't seen any updates. I would think that if they actually are able to fix this that some sort of news would be posted there. I've seen quite a few people we know that are following like we are. Hope you are well.

On another note: Hope your trip/visit went well with the family. I was never able to see the outcome!  /default_biggrin.png

 
Hi Sheena!  So glad we were able to find a forum who's registration was not closed.  Immediate access to finding our friends was/is so key.  

Glad you follow PR's twitter feed.  Do let us know if there are any updates.  Do be careful and follow only the most trusted pharmacy/review sites. 

I have been reading everything I can on what happened to PR and as someone posted above, it's the name not the servers.  The name was registered in the US and the servers are not in the US.

Some stuff has been written on website news sites lately (site name in previous post) about suspending forum/site names.   It's a decision made by the domain name services/companies.   Sometimes these services are given a court order; sometimes they just comply with a request from LE.  

It's pretty straightforward if the site is selling meds, but the line is fuzzier when the site is a pharmacy review site.  Mostly I am sure these domain/name services do not want to be fined for aiding and abetting, like Fed-x was.  Seems to me that just as LE went after the money transfer services, they are going after the domain/board name services as well.   PR was such a big site both content and member-wise, I guess LE went after them to make a point.   

PR could probably get a new name and pop back up, but my guess is mgt there wants to resolve more long term.  Best answer is probably a new name, hosted by a service that is not in the US.  Maybe that is harder to do than we would think.  

But I am just taking what others have said, summarizing it, and putting it together best I can.  So who knows for sure?  Not me! 

***** Following is off topic ***** 

My visit with my in-laws went really well.  Super nice apartment in the city and beautiful home at the lake, 2 hours outside of the city.

I had decided that I would just ask for a glass of wine b4 dinner as that one bottle was usually served.  You know, get to it first lol.  But turned out that since my other SIL was there, they had gone wine shopping just for me!  How nice was that!  But there was also no excess drinking which was appropriate.  To be honest I had more of an issue finding no sugar, no grain food options.  I did my best, and just got back on track when I got home.  

We are in open forum here so I will not be as chatty as usual.  Only 20 posts to pm though.  Or maybe there is a Sr Forum that will open up to us at 20 posts, I don't know.  

Glad to see you Sheena.  It's so upsetting when a board goes down.  Everyone is scattered to the four corners ... 
 
Excellent summary SpaceMatters, that's how I understand the situation to be. I'm very thankful that DBG has been so gracious to let us regroup here. Best!

 
I posted this in another thread too, but count me as one of the grateful ones. I was a PR member for a few years, my only forum, but got used to the community there.

I noticed that after the last post about the NAND issue beinb resolved by lawyers, the PR twitter page vanished.

I'm so very glad to be approved and a member of DBG, many thanks to what seems a really rational and together place!

Thank you so much CatintheHat for welcoming all of us to DBG. People seem so friendly here and it gives us "refugees" a soft spot to land!  /default_smile.png

 
It is a pleasure to have you guys honestly. I have never seen a group of people so mindful of the rules. I was in a panic when you all started showing up, but there was no need! With no exceptions, every PR member has enriched the forum. I was a member over there, but this always felt like home :)

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
