Gday

Does anyone know why it died?

C

All I know is that admin said that it could die at any time. 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.

We really don't know...I think the site was just abandoned by the owners.

 

That's what I figured as well, and it is really a shame.  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.

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.

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.

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.

^^^^ 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...

Gabes, great to see you, I took a screen shot of the old version you created. Have plastered it everywhere. Gave me comfort when QSMB went down. Grateful to QT!

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.

Hi tocevoD, I'm so glad you found us :) I'm sorry you've been struggling this week. Stick close and SOS or vent or whatever you need to do to keep that awesome quit. This is a great pace and has been very welcoming to all us :)

Hey tocevoD.  Glad you found this place and I'm glad you are still smoke free. 

 

If you are struggling or are tempted to smoke, come to this site and let us know.  You are doing great in your quit and nothing is worth going back to cigarettes.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
