Good luck to you Jerome, Matt and others. Thanks for all you're doing for the site game me the chance to know these awesome people.

I'm going to be there.

Actually, even if this site was destroyed by a beam-breaker, you guys couldn't ever achieve to find a way to be free of me.

Thanks Directors, members and friends...I'm loggin off for a few hours , but I am now feeling so much better about all of this. It 's been shocking to say the least , but I am confident we'll all be fine and dandy...and TOGETHER!

Sure, don't worry.

... there is no Ka. We have only ourselves to rely on.

Hm. Sounds almost... atheistic.

I interpreted it more as a disinterested deity who leaves our lives and choices up to us (freewill) as opposed to one who has a plan, keeps his eye on the sparrow, and, indeed, planned the sparrow's life and the lives of all others (determinism).

Jerome, I will stay and help as I can.

well, as you surely have noticed I've never said God or Providence was a kindergarten nurse (this is for another thread, though...)
Aide-toi, et Dieu t'aidera

[ManOfWesternesse]

News indeed!
Congrats Matt & gang!

You see, folken? There are some things which never change.

[Delacroix]

Ugh, reading the news I thought for a second that Stephen King might be interested in the content...

Sometime I'm just a stupid child.

[Daghain]

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Give it a chance and if it changes beyond what you can bear (not you Jean), then leave. People not unnaturally fear change, but change in itself won't necessarily be detrimental to the site. It's only a change of name and hopefully all else will remain the same. Who knows?...Jerome may add, remove, adjust or fine tune what we already have and the change may result in an improved experience. That's not to say of course that Matt & Dora, Aarron and Hannah haven't done a fantastic job, for which I give many thanks.

Don't stay for a while Dags, and you might regret it...and, I believe, in any case you will be drawn back no matter what...

Bears and Wolves be soothed...look on it as the first step on a new and exciting adventure.

Do not fear change, embrace it and make it yours.

Good luck Jerome with all that lies ahead...I'm a stayer.

Oh, I'll probably come in and look around, but I will not be a mod on the new board.

[Ricky]

I'm just reading this now and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Regardless, I'd like to thank Matt, Dora, Hannah, and Aaron for running this place for all these years. It's been a blast and I'm thankful to have been invited her amongst all these great people. Hopefully everyone will move along with the content over to the new site.

Sweetness on the sale! Congrats Patrick! And Jereome has one of the biggest hearts I've ever had the honor of knowing. The site will remain in good hands. The Pere is always there.

[tippy4]

Congrats Matt.

Nosey guy that I am, I have to ask....did you recoup the $ that you put into the site over the last couple years?

And hey, while we are on the topic, give us some more dirt on the deal. Did King contact you? Marsha? King's attorney? Someone from the movie company?

Throw us a bone man...tell the tale!!!!!!

[jhanic]

I like the new logo at the top of the pages.

[Daghain]

I do too, but I think someone may have to change the forum colors a bit to match.

Yes, I'm OCD about stuff like that.

I will say we did better than our investment. The site has been a labor of love so I call that a plus for sure.

When official news of the movie came out it was natural for us to consider the idea that the domain name might be worth something now so we felt around. Turns out it was and I'm really glad that Stephen King is the new owner.

I really hope to see the site addy on trailers of the movie...I'll feel like we had something to do with that.

[Hannah]

That would be so awesome.

[Patrick]

So I had this friend who changed his phone number.

I wrote down the new number and used it.

Sometimes I called the old number out of habit and someone else answered. I apologized and then redialed.

Every time I dialed the correct number, it was always my same old good friend on the other end of the line.

This whole topic is about as earth-shattering as a changed phone number. The important thing is that we still know where to find our friends.

[gsvec]

Well said, Patrick.

[Melike]

Patrick

Anyway, I love the new logo!

Pro tip: while making new banner, save in a non-compression format (ie PNG), so it doesn't look like a ghost shit all over it.

[Nerak]

Congrats on the big sale! What a cool thing!!! Hope the check is good!!! LOL

Jerome, we will all be here to support you! I know I am not on much (no internet at home) but I do pop in to keep in the loop!!!
