Why not make both these boards into one?
The same people are there anyways and they are both in need of interesting posts to keep people coming back.

Apparently your not a part of any of them anymore and all you seem to care about doing is closing them down, or suggesting things like this then deleting your profile. Here's another suggestion- why not just leave people alone who choose to have message boards. Each message board HAS different thread/topics to choose from. Each message board HAS it's own personality and unique quality... Not every message board has or specializes in the exact same discussions. Which is why people go to different message boards. People can go to different messages board for different discussion or go to no message boards at all. It is their choice. Not every single person will be on another message board, nor will every single person on this one be on the next one. Or you will find some of the same joiners on both. But that's for the different discussions and personalites of each particular message board itself!

Why not close all restaurants and replace them with a giant eating hall?

Would some kind soul explain to me what this is all about please? I read the crime debate forum thread and thought, what's all this about? It all sounds very incestuous . What is the fascinating truth - pretty please?

Took some nerve to come on a board and tell the people how to run it after f**king up a perfectly good board

She didn't F-up anything
It was time to go
It's one thing to come and visit a board and quite another to own and run it
So, like you are famous for saying..don't judge us until you walk in our shoes
There was no letting go, Chris. It was and still is my baby. I will always be emotionally attached
If you are or ever were our friend, you would be happy we were able to detach from this addiction and move on
I am happy for the times we shared and now we are on new boards..so there is really nothing lost
FYI...the categories, boards and threads on Crime Debate are still there. I made them invisible so that the goodbye thread would be prominent. However, in time, I will make all the content visible again as a tribute to the good times and good discussions we had.
So, please be happy for us. We are all still friends, I hope, regardless of where we meet

Speaking as a friend of both of yours (if that's still so), I have to say, it is odd to (you both said it was a joint decision) close a board, giving the members no choice but to move on to other boards, and then join those boards, badmouth them (facebook), and offer snide 'advice' and rude comments about them. I'll note that you have not done this. Carolyn said she wanted to move on. More power to her. And, I'm happy for her. I do wish her, and YOU, all good things. In the circumstances, however, wishing CD members happiness doesn't seem mutual. Best. Lynne

I do consider you a friend Lynne
I don't know what you mean about the FaceBook remark
All I do know is that I was very, very tired and ready to go the first time CD was deleted. It was only because i read the thread on the support board and felt badly about taking the board away and pumpkinpie's remarks on another board that caused me to restore the board.
As you know, this last time the board was restored was not with the intention of giving it another go..it was strictly to appease the complaints I read from Beth and Gabriel about not having access to remove their links. However, once it was restored, I hoped to merge the FB and forum pages. I immediately knew that was a mistake. Some cuts are not fixable and I felt this was the case.
If you noticed, I really didn't participate in most discussions on CD. I posted stories and articles which I felt would be of interest to our group.
I really don't want to post on any message boards anymore. But, I do want to come by and see how people I have known and cared about for the past 6 years are doing..that is all.
I think anyone who begrudges us for closing the doors is not considering me, Carolyn or nobu who spent the better part of every single day trying to make it all work.
You, Lynne, were a moderator. You vacated the position because you felt you could not give the job your full attention at the time. When I told you the position is always open for you, if you want it, you told me you don't enjoy the board as much being a moderator.
So, you might have a smidgen of an idea how I felt.

I believe this issue has really already been, while not resolved, maybe ended. If there are really things that still need to be said they should be handled privately.
The subject was a suggestion on merging boards.
My opinion on that........would be no. I like having a couple of different boards...........just like the comment of different restaurants.

I'm sure there were a lot of behind the scenes matters that pressured you into closing CD and moving on! I'm glad that the the threads will stay up. CD will always be a nostalgic place for us!
You're always more than welcome here!

Hi Ilene, I think you misunderstand. I have no desire to rehash things. You've explained privately to me your reasons, as well as at Beth's, and I accepted your explanation. I am so down with the way things are now! This way, everybody's happy ~ or should be. My point is that some folks do not appreciate advice from someone who basically told them to go phuck themselves afterward, comes onto the boards, hits and runs. My inclination was to simply ignore the 'advice'. Others felt compelled to respond. I can understand their frustration. It begins to look like you're a tag team, Ilene. I'll say again: I wish the both of you ALL GOOD THINGS in the future, and much happiness.

What I meant by "f**king up a good board was taking it down without any sort of warning to members, putting it back up, announcing Joe was now the administrator and then finding it all gone again. If you health was being affected there is not ONE member of CD who would have stood in your way of leaving or closing it down but we weren't told that until later then we see the both of you on boards after we heard you swear off boards so naturally people are confused and angry. Beth and Gabe had every right to be upset......if you would have just given them a day to pull their stuff there would have been no hard feelings as they are both mature adults who understand the need to have a life of one's own Enough dirty laundry has been aired so as June so aptly put it, let's get over it, move on There will always be good memories of CD; it's just to bad the ending didn't do justice to the members that served it so well
