Just saw these posts. I don’t get on here much since the old ao was destroyed and this new one is terrible. When the old ao went down, a bunch of us migrated to the forum on goactuary. It is mostly non-actuarial topics for now, but there are exam and career threads too, which hopefully will build up momentum. GoActuary was started by the people who started the ao and ran it prior to selling it to DW Simpson a few years later.

I was a long time poster on the ao, and mostly went by ao fan on the old ao in recent years, and am pretty sad that DW Simpson decided to entirely destroy it and eliminate all that great history, both in terms of professional and non-professional topics. We had a nice little community over there. This new ao will never amount to much, so I’m not entirely sure what their goal is over here in killing the old one.
