OK. I will have a chat with Jon later on and ask him to re-visit the SB1.0 forum and ask him if he would either resurrect the forum using his Admin rights or to appoint myself as temporary admin to enable me to re-open the forum.
:) Sounds Like a plan. He will need to edit the forum from his old personal account, I think.

That's the only problem I have with SB1. Not enough diversity in the membership - and I would bet - very little in the way of new membership since it first started.

It has, supposedly, over 100 members. Most rarely participate, however. Kinda CP in a microcosm, I guess.

Not quite. There was an unfortunate "alleged trolling" post made yesterday. This caused the SB1.0 administrator to give up and request CP to shut the forum. However, there is, of course, the possible chance that Chris Maunder may allow the SB1.0 to be resurrected if enough (former) SB1.0 members request him to do so. So, if you would like the SB1.0 to be once again a functioning forum, the former members need to decide who shall administer that forum and write to Chris Maunder with requests to re-open it. That said, SB1.0 was a private members social forum, and as far as I am aware, private members social forums may be created at CP at any time. So, those interested in resurrecting SB1.0, please indicate so by reply to this message.
Yes, bring back SB1.0 :)

On the admin page for SB1.0 does there exist option to cancel the "Shut Down" instruction?
It's a checkbox...labeled "close group". I reached it by using the "edit group" icon that appeared as a white rectangle above the post region on the left. I presume Jon was able to fix things, since i am no longer a member of that social group, and I had not ejected myself, just "retired" as admin. That seems to have changed since I replied to Jon's email.

I gather things worked out, since I am not a member of SB1 since a a relatively short while ago (since replying to Jon's email).

At the moment, no change. However, Jon has offered to email Chris Maunder requesting to make me Administrator, but, as I said, nothing to report just yet. I will update this message in the morning if anything to report. Cheers Rob, and of course Jon, for your help.

Apparently SB1 has gone the way of the Dodo. Vigorous debate was it's downfall.
