In Craig LeHoullier's most recent newsletter he wrote that Tomatoville will be shutting down at the end of December.
It has all the information about the Dwarf Tomato Project, so I hope that can be saved.

I think Mischka said the Dwarf Tomato Project data would be preserved, if I understood correctly. However, since it's an OSSI-pledged project, why isn't it based out of the Open Source Plant Breeding Forum?

interesting. I actually was wondering about if it would recently. It's as if i could see ahead.
I think there are several from the dwarf tomato project signed up already on the OSSI forum, so i'm sure talk about it will pick up in the near future if tomatoville is indeed shutting down. But the thing about forums is that if noone asks or talks about a topic or never starts a thread on it, then it might never come up. The OSSI forum has a decent amount of members despite being new, but very few of those actually post anything. Perhaps because they don't feel like they have anything to contribute?

There have been a lot of issues over there. Mischka posted he is ending the site on 12/31/19. It would be a shame to lose all that information. PMs have been shut off, making any communication difficult. www.tomatovillians.com has popped up as one place folks are gathering. |

. It would be a shame to lose all that information. I have been copying information that I want to keep, though I didn't manage to save the private messages I received before they all disappeared. |

Someone managed to do a copy of the old CitrusGrowerForum. It is available as a static website now. Maybe something similar is possible with tomatovillian? link |

another possibility might be to save it on "wayback machine". But it is not very handy. link |

Latest is that TV will continue but by subscription only. That should be interesting!

Does that mean members would have to pay?

Does that mean members would have to pay? That is correct. So far, have found few who say that they will do it. Most active members are now at Tomato Junction which is the new name for Tomatovllians. www.tomatovillians.com Martin |

Tomatoville.com is no longer closing down, apparently. Mischka made legal threats against anyone who copies the data. So, be careful.
Tomatovillians.com isn't shutting down, either. But it is changing it's domain to TomatoJunction.com soon. Many of Tomatoville's users migrated there, as well as many who wanted to register with Tomatoville but couldn't. TomatoJunction isn't affiliated with Tomatoville. It's worth noting that most of the people who were involved with free seed offers and swaps migrated to Tomato Junction.

Mischka and others who ally themselves as his friends are often vile and nasty in my experience. I don't use the term lighty, but they truly are tomato Nazis. Too bad, I was hoping such a toxic atmosphere would close down. |
