I think this is actually mighty impressive. Look from the User List how many actually are here and post regularly.
So many of you came over on 7-14-2014. Or just a few days later.
I remember well being on the abc.com board, hearing that you were leaving. Some like annie had trouble it seems to me finding the "ship" but eventually did (despite the fact that any mention of it got "red-lined" almost immediately.
Though invited more than once, I kept saying, no...I'm just here until school starts in late August. I'll just stay put. CEK would come to say hello and good night in the evenings. Booky and I (eastcoast and Shippette and others) tread water over there trying to stay afloat until the thread was literally pulled out from under us.
How wonderful to find you all in September. How great it is that we are still together.
Awww, View! I miss the old days on the ABC message board! Remember when CEK would serve a buffet style breakfast for us on the deck? Haha Those were good times!! Despite the trolls and the naysayers, I had a blast posting over there and I'm proud that we managed to keep that thread going until it reached over 3 million views, before the webmaster locked it up and banned us both for trying to start up new M&M threads. LOL
I thank CEK for sending out a life raft and bringing me over here and of course, I thank Carrie and HRM for creating a place where we could continue to discuss M&M and share our news (both good and bad) with each other. Even though we didn't get the fairy tale ending we had hoped for, I am grateful for the friendships I have made on this board.
