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. I said what I had to say to Ilene there, so you don't have to worry about me being a disruption to the board. At least not about that. Lynne, I DON'T worry about you disrupting the board. Just because we don't agree on a few issues doesn't mean that I think you're disruptive. Stick around - watch Fretslider and Random Voice, Jumbo, Clemie and Bush Admirer all disagreeing passionately. I know when someone's being disruptive - we have a member who caused so much chaos I had to suspend him and he hasn't been back since - and believe me, you are NOT disruptive. What's the point of a debate board where everyone agrees?

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. you hit the nail on the head: It was the shutting down without any notice to people so we could find ways to stay in touch or have links to other boards we may be interested in I won't go back; as much as I loved it, four times without warning was more than enough for this person I won't go back either. To be honest, I was very disillusioned with that board in at least a few ways and that's 1 reason I was posting less and less. However, on a POSITIVE note, I DO have many wonderful memories from there and have made some wonderful friends I consider family. ;D

Ok.....I really liked the name Memphis.....but I got out-voted. Hubby and son stayed with the name Grace. Considering she is all legs and they all seem to go in different directions......she is the most ungraceful Grace around......but she's still adorable. Hubby calls her Amazing Grace..........considering it seems she has been shot out of a cannon when she comes shooting down the hall.....maybe that's appropriate.
I gotta remember that name.....it was way too cute..........need to remember to bribe them before the next vote......I think that's where I went wrong this time.

Got a real chuckle outa the 'Amazing Grace'. If she's not graceful it's a disgrace! But, what a cutie!!

I didn't join the Facebook thing (and didn't want to), but for those of you who did, you didn't deserve having this done to you!

I'm getting a bit worried about the way some posts here are going.
I have always liked Ilene and still do. She put far too much of herself and her time into the board and I think she'd basically had enough.
As my Uncle Jaime often said, the most valuable thing a person can give is there time.
For what it's worth I've often contemplated chucking it in here because I have a lot of stress and both Mike and I have health issues, especially him, to say nothing of two young kids and a business to run.
I WOULDN'T chuck it in without first trying to get someone else to take over but at the end of the day what's done is done and we all need to move on.
Some members here were already from CD, some more have joined, some have joined Beth's forum.
It's sad but we have to move on, please.
I still feel the same affection towards Ilene that I always have.

I think each of us has to take at least a little responsibility. How dumb are we that after three times, we did not expect it to happen again. No excuses on my part - I was just lazy.
The first really bright red flags went up when news of a Face Book page "so you all can keep in touch" was posted. The minute I saw that, I should have had enough presence of mind to pack up what I knew I'd need and get ready to seek solid ground. But, no, I put it off, telling myself I was being too suspicious, because, hadn't Ilene just said the music area was going well (or as well as it would ever go on CD), and couldn't I see the traffic was good and the message base was thriving. Sure, good things to read about almost every day. No hurry to don the life-vests. So! While my first thought on getting the notice page was "no . . . she promised!" My next thought was, Beth - you NIT WIT. It's obvious everybody needs to vent and avoid the stress that would develop if we bit it back. No problem with that. But, soon soon soon . . . let's do as Lin suggests and move on. Use all that energy to build more and better here and on Tapestry. Neither Lin or I rule with an iron hand. These boards grow and/or decline at the pleasure of the members. (dusting off the soapbox and carrying it away)
