A Tale of Two Forums...
A tale of two forums...
During the pandemic I came up with one of those "pandemic hobbies." I became interested in studying tarot cards. I found a really great forum at aeclectic.net. That forum had started in roughly 1996 - near the same time as VF. Several years ago, the founder of the forum decided that she was unable to maintain the forum and was going to close it down. It has been closed since (I think) 2017. She gave the Forum members plenty of notice. I don't think she gave too many personal reasons, but she showed the respect to let folks know that she was unable to continue and to give them time to prepare for that. The forum still exists: Tarot Forum. The reviews for the older tarot decks still exist. The forum posts still exist, although no new posts are allowed. My point is that somebody actually cared enough and showed respect for the members to let them know what was going on and warn them that the website/forum was no longer going to be active. She did whatever she needed to do to keep the Forum in existence, despite not being active. I still go over there to read posts and look at deck reviews. So, yeah, $hit happens. But, for crying out loud, show some respect to folks like me who have supported VF (financially or by posting) for decades. I've been a member since 1998 and this lack of courtesy and respect is apalling! You can yell at me saying to not "rile Wendy up" or she'll "close the Forum." If she would be that petty to those who love this forum, I don't know what to say!
