Sandi,
Can Adam and I join if we don’t live in the Big trees Subdivision?
Thanks,
Jessica Snider

I just tested sending an invite and will let you know if that’s makes things smoother.

You can email Nextdoor with a PDF copy of anything official that shows your service address. Water bill, phone or cable should work. You have to wind your way through the support tab on Nextdoor, but eventually there is a place where you can email and add an attachment.

I am having the same problem as Buckgoody. I put in the cabin address. My phone billing address is my Camp Connell post office address, however, that didn’t work either.
If we use our (flatland) home address, can we have access to the bigtreesvillage.nextdoor forum?

The “nextdoor” community site may not work for me. I’m a weekend warrior without a local phone. I tried to register for the site but they require you to verify your address with either a local phone (registered to your local address), postcard, or credit card (registered with the local address). None of which I have or care to obtain. Please let me know if someone knows of another solution.

Everytime I try to get to bigtreesvillage.nextdoor.com and register it takes me to my home Alameda nextdoor of which I’m a member. Any ideas out there on how to register for a second nextdoor community?

Thanks, Joe, for providing the wonderful website all these years.

OK, Thanks Sandi (SierraSentry.Com) for the link. As far as I am concerned, the replacement for the BigTreesTech forum will be (unoffically).
https://bigtreesvillage.nextdoor.com

There will be no transfer of user information from BigTreesTech to any other entity so you will have to create a new account with nextdoor.com. In fact, come early March, all user account information will be permanently deleted from BigTreesTech.com.

Since the forum will soon be disabled, this information will soon be posted on the main page of BigTreesTech.

There is a Big Trees Village Neighborhood on Nextdoor.com that could function as the forum.

We are trying to get more clients on our page. We try to include videos of the weather too. I have been using Weather underground for Dorrington which seems very reliable. We also have some clients that aren’t sure if they need a plow or not. We don’t mind going by and checking free of charge. Friend us on facebook! Thank you Joe for puttting our name out there for people to use.

I was reluctant to suggest this alternative because it might imply there was nothing important to preserve. My 40ish daughter has been using big trees poa Facebook page for current info. She shopped for a plow out two weeks ago there and after not getting a good lead I sent her to you and Adam who did the job.
Their Facebook page seems very active and your camera and weather info might make an ideal synergy of community information.

Thanks all for the many kind words and suggestions. After giving some thought to some of the suggestions an alternate course of action seems both possible and attractive.

If one of you were to start either a facebook group, a nextdoor group or some alternative to the forum I could eliminate the BigTreesTech forum, delete the contents of the “user” database, disable user registration (the source of most of my headaches) and just provide a link to the new community website.

This would allow me to focus almost entirely on the weather station data, webcam images, and authored content all of which have suffered recently.

If someone would like to step up and create the alternate community forum please do so and let me know where it is. If more than one gets created, it’s OK by me, I can provide multiple links.

Thanks very much for the service you have provided thst has created a sense of community, especially for us part-timers, as well as an ongoing source of information about this special place we know as BTV.
As previously mentioned, if nobody steps forward to assume responsibility for Bigtreestech, “Nextdoor” might be a workable alternative. I believe it would require someone, probably a full-timer, to serve as lead and invite a small group to get it started. Another option might be for the homeowners association to take on the project, but that may be beyond its scope and ability.

Good luck to you in your next “career,” and thanks for the memories.

we’re not close to you but yes, we also experienced multiple brief power outages after the big problems had been pretty much solved.
You might consider adding a UPS or two (or 3 of 4 or …) to keep things up and running through these brief interruptions.
