I understand the many reasons that people would be opposed to Facebook. For years, I avoided it like the plague (or Covid, ha-ha). But once I finally tried it for specific reasons, I realized that it's what you make of it. Skeletal profile, private page, private groups, and controls on the settings have thus far proven my concerns to be unfounded.
It would probably be the easiest to administer and join, but I too am willing to try whatever our administrator chooses.
After nearly 20 years on this group, I sincerely appreciate all of the information that I've gained here, not to mention some friendships that have lasted nearly 2 decades. So the most important thing is that the group goes on – in whatever format!

I also vote for a Facebook group. Those with security concerns. Make an new email address on gmail (or whatever email you prefer) some thing like trishforvpfree@gmail.com (use it for nothing else)
Use that to join FB and then add no friends. Lots of ways to lock down security on FB. You can set notifications to get an email whenever a new post comes on that group and basically never look at FB unless there is new VPFree postings
I don't know anything about io.groups but would try that if that is where this is moved.

Well, I'm a long-time lurker, have never posted anything (but really appreciate the knowledge out there). It does seem that the lowest common denominator would be some sort of email group, not sure how that would work.

I will not sign up for facebook for any reason, as well as many others on this group it seems. Hopefully we can find another way to set up a group.
FWIW-I have enjoyed this group for over 18 years.

I vote for a Facebook move.
Will this affect the Free2 web site with all the casino info?

I had a couple people recommend io..groups. I don't know anything about it.
For people who don't like Facebook, one idea would be to join FB but do not add any friends or do anything except go to a new vpfree group on FB. You can limit your privacy that way and avoid most FB features.
Anyway I am very saddened by this, having been with the group in its several incarnations stemming from the Skip Hughes days. The end of an era.
