Hello, and welcome to and welcome BACK to TheWallsHaveTeeth.net!

Members of the former ABNF forums will recognize this place immediately, but below is a little background information for new members.

It all started mid 2008 with the restart of the (now defunct) Abandoned But Not Forgotten (www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com) forums. I was a member on there and following a massive spam invasion, I was made an administrator to help clean up the spam and help keep the forum running. We formed a close-knit community, most members being on a nickname or a even a first name basis.

Recently, (sometime in July?) the administrator, Ron Donald decided that it was time to close doors for good, leaving the members of ABNF with no closure, no warning. No explanation. No place to return to.

Now I respect Ron, I don't want anyone to think that I'm opening this forum in spite of him closing ABNF, or think that I'm trying to steal his thunder. I know a bit about his personal life and what was going on from what hes told me, and I can understand his reasoning for closing ABNF, and if by some odd chance he is reading this, I would like it if he would be willing to come participate in the community still in his spare time. If any of the staff from the old forum would like their permissions back, send me a PM and we'll set something up.

So now, on August 23, 2009 I open to the public TheWallsHaveTeeth.net, using an old backup of the ABNF forums to give the community a place to return to.

For all of you returning members, I hope you're willing to come back to the community where we once thrived and make yourselves at home again.

Take care of yourselves and enjoy the community

I was wondering what happened to ABNF.

Good to see this place up and running.

[Tilas]

I was worried and saddened a bit when I saw ABNF was gone, but it's so nice to see this!

[ABNF]

ABNF will be back the hosting company deleted the files. To make along story short give time a few days and ABNF will be back up after I talk to Fancy Dan he got my number.

Seeing this place back online is like a huge breath of fresh air. One minute ABNF was there, then it was gone. I thought maybe I missed something, but apparently I wasn't the only one.

Hi everyone!

[iGamer]

Thanks for the update Ron! I actually stopped coming here only because the site was not on my fav toolbar, which is on there now, so I should be around more....

[N1Hawk]

We Miss Ron and ABNF,


Dan did the next best thing and got a replacement back up for the time being. Hope Things go well for Ron and he can get back on his feet soon!

[Camaroguy1369]

I, ttoo, am very glad to see the site up-n-running. I was wondering what happened, I stopped getting forum updates & what-not., I honestly thought it was gone & I was a bit sad about it. I did think that the hosting co. screwed things up though, so I was part right, lol. Well, whatever happens, I hope it's for the best & I'll definately keep both on the fav's list (when the other one hopefully pops back up).

I'm not trying to stir shit up, but regardless of whether or not Ron puts the forums back up on AbandonedButNotForgotten.com, I plan on keeping these forums up. I'd be more than willing to host ABNF.com to make sure it stays up, but Ron and I will have to discuss that.

I guess I'm one of the other short timers that did'nt know about ABNF's down turn, web or personal wise. Is there a chance that this site or a resurection of the latter will continue to take post and history of U.E. ? There was a good thing going on here, hate to see it -STBF- soon to be forgotten.

Ron and I are talking and ABNF will soon be back.

[Chaindrive]

Thank you, Maycat, for doing this. I don't know about the others, but I was lost and not in a good way.

[Mugen_1]

Yeah for a while I thought the whole site was abandoned...but not forgotten (obviously) ha. I do like these forums, though. They're pretty slick
