Forum High Jacked?
What happened to "Straight Razor Palace" forum? And why are my threads or post being blocked, and why do you have my posts and password without my permission? Please respond administration or new owner?

Welcome back Joe,
No hijacking of any kind nor are you blocked in any way.
As you can see the only difference is the domain/name. We had to change it to straight razor palace in January of 2018 to keep the forum operational. For many years I had a partnership with the registrant of the original domain. I provided the service/website and the registrant pointed their domain to it. About a year ago they decided to leave our community and take their domain with them pointing it away from the forum. The forum still existed in the same way as always but when someone typed the old address they ended somewhere else.
It's a little bit like a house and a road to it. When the old road got rerouted to some other place (very easy to do on the internet) we had to set up and use a new road to get us to ours
The change from straight razor palace to sharp razor palace happened two months ago because the same people then claimed that our new name, straight razor palace, infringes on theirs and their rights and unfairly competes with them. (Apparently, for over a year now, they have been working on creating a forum of their own and intend to point their own domain to it.)
We certainly wish them best and the last thing we want is to prevent anyone from creating or running their dream forum. So we simply changed our name yet again to Sharp Razor Palace
The actual service has remained the same and nothing has changed for over 5 years. The only difference is the address you have to type to reach it.
Again, nice to see you back and I hope you continue to enjoy the camaraderie here

And just to add FYI, if not for gugi this forum would have been shut down and all the knowledge, tips, etc. that was imputed by all us members would be lost! Many thanks to him for his expertise, experience and interest in keeping this site up and running...........

I have been away for some time, long story. But when I came back I ended up at the other forum that is now using the domain straight razor place. I saw Lynn on there so I thought that it was just updated since it's been a decade. However my account was gone and all the other historical learning forum pages and such. My thought was that it was a pity but moved on, been looking at the facebook site also under the same group name, but last night I went to type straight in a blank browser url field and sharp razor came up! There was my old account and all this still intact to my surprise. Times change folks move on but thanks for keeping it going everyone!

With certain "Get Off My Lawn!" types out of the picture, this is also a much friendlier environment and I think you will like it here more than before. I (and a couple others) were actually banned from the old forum due to doctrinal issues that I won't go into. Now I am quite well accepted here and feel a lot more welcome.
