There appeared to be issues with the owners, i.e. not being easily contactable, whether the domain etc was paid for. this is what I gathered from posts last time it went offline. It is a shame in that it had such a rich history and was a thriving community at different points in time.

I do miss QSMB but I am grateful for this place. I am also grateful that this place is owned by a quitter (MarylandQuitter) who is passionate about helping others quit and is involved on this board. I got the sense that QSMB ownership abandoned that place a while back and it was unsettling to me over the past few months. MQ's presence and dedication to QuitTrain is very much appreciated by me.
March 7, 20188 yr 5 hours ago, Cbdave said: Gday Does anyone know why it died? C No idea but I can make a guess. Short story: Not worth the 'owners' time and energy and obviously didn't think a site with the potential to save lives was worth anything.
March 7, 20188 yr I personally think the new owners bought the name quitsmoking.com to sell their quit smoking products only and that there was nothing to gain by keeping the message board going. The store was updated and their products are sold through several different sites including Amazon. There is no need to maintain a forum in their view. Like Johnny5 said we are very fortunate to have this site, provided to us by a former smoker, welcome us all no strings attached. I thank you again Marylandquitter and everyone else who have welcomed us unconditionally.
March 7, 20188 yr You know though, the tobacco companies hate forums like this. A place where even a few people encourage others not to smoke and KTQ. They hate it. Big tobacco loses money because of forums like this or any quit site. So whether you are from QT, QSMB, or any other, we all have this in common - We are, by NOT opening our wallets to big tobacco, telling them to cram it in their asses.
March 7, 20188 yr Author ^^^^ This ^^^^^ We are group of good people who refuse to be ruled by the big tobacco companies... Who don't care how many good people they kill...just to make money... We are fighting the same fight... This is us saying ...NOPE ..... 2 boards ..or 1.board....the fight is the same.... Quitting with a group is much more fun...
March 7, 20188 yr Thanks for the warm welcome! It makes me happy to see so many familiar faces. I don't post much anymore but popping in, every day, keeps me honest. Feeling the love!

March 7, 20188 yr I just wanted to say I'm grateful that quatrain has welcomed us so graciously. Thanks.
March 7, 20188 yr If this place hasn't thrown my smart ass off yet, then I think few others really have to worry.

March 11, 20188 yr Another one who is made up to have found this place after the demise of QSMB. Glad to see many of the regulars from QSMB on here aswell. I joined QSMB around my quit day of 1/1/18 and was really helped by the site. Been struggling a bit this past week or two but still a non smoker, and still fully determined. I'm sure my quit will get an added boost now I'm back amongst my fellow quitters.
March 11, 20188 yr Welcome tocevoD! Glad to hear your young quit is still in place There are many old friends here and some new ones to make as well. The great part is, we're all quitters and here to help others. Buckle up your seat belt and enjoy your ride on Quit Train!
