I've known Ilene since the days of Murder Chat - the predecessor of Crime Debate. She has been like an online Mum to me and I love her dearly.
I've been a staff member on about a dozen boards and although that can be difficult, believe me, being a board owner is even worse.
I entirely understand why Ilene has decided to close CD down and although I'm extremely sad that she has I don't blame her.
I modelled this forum on Crime Debate and the Mortal Orchard, my two all-time favourite message boards. The Orchard has gone and CD maybe too.
It's a shame but even board owners are human beings and have lives.
I'm glad that the Facebook page for CD is still up so at least people can keep in touch to some extent.
Like the Orchard, CD was a great forum and Ilene, like Chris, was a great board owner.

I don't think anyone is upset THAT she closed it, but with the WAY she closed it (again), without notice or a care for the members, especially after promising she would never do that again.

The whole damn thing is a crime I'm surprised it happened so much and yet people stuck with it just the same.

It was because it was such a good board, Fret, and Ilene was such a nice person.
She had loads of great members too - about 35% of my members came from there, about 40% from the Orchard, and the rest either from other boards I belong to or (in about nine or ten cases) I've no idea HOW they found us.
Anyway, what's done is done. I've posted a couple of messages on the Facebook page and I don't want any feuds to spill over from there onto here as happened last time CD was closed down.
I feel like a dear friend has died to be honest.

yep ... shit that Ilene's board is gone again .. not that i ve been a frequent poster still (due to insane work schedules) but i liked it there .. it had become kinda like "cyber family" .. well now im here .. hoping to meet familiar faces and hopeing that this board isnt infested / too infested with hatenest members .. i have nothing to do with DR/DP work anymore but those lynchmobsters still nauseate me ..
other than that and for those who dont know me yet: im opposed to the DP but wont shed tears when someone gets actually executed ... i'm good with reasonable pros but cant stand lynchmobsters .. im good with fellow antis but cant stand fanatics and whiny DR groupie widows and crap ..
so hi and best wishes to those i like .. to those i will like... and to those who can go fuck themselves

If there's one thing you can be sure of in this life its that nothing lasts forever.
