Solandia, thank you for a wonderful place to be. I will miss this far more than I can explain. In the meantime I feel such a push to complete things started here! It's going to be a very busy couple of weeks. I do pray that you'll be OK, and that we will find someplace to go to continue our community.

Thank you Solandia, for all that you created and how much you worked to maintain this community. I want you to know that I have gained so much more than words can tell from being a member of A.T. This has been a real blessing in my life.

You, Aeclectic Tarot, and everyone here will be sorely missed.

I wouldn't even know how to begin.

I get this, once you get into a routine for yourself that works for you, it gets so hard to pass that on to someone else. Especially if it is something that you started from scratch and have been building on for seventeen years.

I am so glad that I found this forum and feel blessed to have been a member for so long, and saw it grow from a small forum to the biggest tarotforum on the internet.
In recent years I was not very active here but I popped in almost every day to my virtual home. Thanks for making this possible for so long.
All the best to you on your new journey

Thanks, Solandia. It wouldn't be AT under someone else anyway, so - well -

I am very sorry now that I chickened out of meeting you the time I had the chance...

Solandia and all the folks who have admined over the years that I've been here...Thank you so much for the time you've put in to making this site so informative and friendly. I'm saddened by it's end. And thanks to everyone else, too. I wish you all the best.

I just need the database and don't need information on how to run it. I know php and I know tech people who can help. I've already asked them.

I don't view it as a commodity, I view it as an extension of what has already begun, so it can continue.

Again, I would be willing to buy it, but I need to know what the revenue is and how much bandwidth it uses.
