Some notable old posts from New Hosts Forum

As we count down the last few days that this group will be open (assuming Airbnb goes on plan and shuts it Feb 25th), I thought it would be fun to share here some of the older posts from this forum as well as Hosting 911 and Anecdotes -- since you can't really scroll down and see them. I have transferred these to our new site at www.globalhostingforum.com , but to see them in the original form, I am posting links here:
Glenn's post (back when he was an organizer of this group too!) about requirements to join this group:

Deborah, you are a real champion. Thank you for your commitment to the airbnb community. As a host, I have appreciated your tireless efforts to provide sensible advice from your experience to those who are new to airbnb and the more experienced. Coupled with Andrew's diplomacy and logical approach to all matters, you are two of airbnb's major assets... doing so much for the 'community'. Will look forward to catching up with you at globalhosting.freeforums.net

Finally exploring the new forum, it's more organized but the old one seems so much simpler!

The links are all working for me, Julia. Are you on PC or app? Go to your PC and try....

It was on my PC. That's weird, I couldn't even access the groups page from the email link to reply you. Had to go through the app.

Deborah, I followed your exemple and posted more of my stories and the comments before they will disappear. I did not anonymize the comments, but if you prefer I can do that or feel free to edit the names.

I noticed you did that Helga, wonderful!!! It's good to get these posted in time -- we only have about 3 days left now, before these groups all are scheduled to vaporize. (I am curious if they will indeed close on the 25th...what if they leave them open longer? ). So we need to preserve what ever we want to save before the 25th. Yes, the way you posted them is fine. I think it's better not to anonymize them. IT feels more personal to see the names. If anyone objects we can take their name out. With the names only, and not the links to the profiles and listings of those quoted, one doesn't know who they are anyway. I also did work today trying to actually remove the anonymity I earlier put in, and am adding back names, and even putting in photos in some posts, just to make them more personal.
