You have given us nearly two decades of the warmest, most interesting long-distance community that I've ever been a part of. As a result of your single-handed efforts, I now have friendships that I will keep for the rest of my life.
Yes, you have collected some coin from the forum - but the blood, sweat and tears (not to mention the maintenance and software costs and the hours you've put in) means that it has been entirely a labour of love.
Sometimes love ends.
Or becomes too demanding on us poor, weak humans.
I, for one, suspect that even given a hypothetically huge financial base and given the strength of my love for Tarot, I wouldn't have maintained the forum as long as you have.
Well done.
There are people who will be grateful to you for decades into the future. And any time I head north across the border into Maroon Country, I'll be stalking you ... <grin>

Yes... to be perfectly honest, people's judging was giving me the hurrumphs ... I had to bite my tongue and understand that many feel they've lost their 'home', but all I feel is gratitude to Solandia, and a welling up in my heart that all things good come to her... I've said it to Solandia personally (well, via PM

), and I'll say it again! Thank you for expending so much energy in creating and maintaining a safe, educational and friendly space for so many for so long!
You're a wonder, Solandia!

Travel Safe and be happy.
