I have been remiss in not giving kudos to our other wonderful Mods- Tery, Flakes and Deej. It's just that in my mind I know that Marsha is retiring so for me that means that she will be gone and it hasn't really sunk in that the actual SKMB will be gone and that means that my three other favorite Mods will not be seen on a daily basis either. Oy vey!!! Tery, Flakes and Deej- thank you all so much for putting up with me and my occasional antics and/or hissy fits. You've all handled yourselves with dignity and respect. There have certainly been some trying times and definitely some rather trying members. I won't mention names as the list is too long......:p Life isn't going to be the same for me, for sure. There's going to be a large gap in my heart. I have met some of the greatest folken here. Again, I won't mention names because the list is far too long. This will always be a forspecial place for me and I will carry it in my heart forever. I love you guys!!!!

I agree with you wholeheartedly kingricefan
There are just too many names to mention.
I've been missing the old crew......so much.
At least madam Mack, gallina, Anni, cowboy......have made some appearances.
Still missing Patricia A. ,BlackEye.....and others.
Going to miss everyone.
So very much.
All my old friends and all the newer members too.
It's hard to try to make the best of every situation every day.
Just trying to get along, and have somewhere laughs and good times for the remainder of our time here.
Love you all.

((((((All in need or not.)))))

OK! Its official, you have made Kurben cry! I hate good-byes but i do see the sense and the appropriateness (is that a word?) in this thread. I came here now little over 6 years ago. I was warmly welcomed and have had many interesting conversations about books and other lifeimportant things. Also many very funny conversations about nothing much, just hanging out with your friends. It has always been fun and this is actually the only board that has attracted me in that way all across the web. And a board is colored, becomes what is through the moderators who work on it. It is their warmth, their kindness, their understanding, their patience and their humor that makes this board what it is. A phenomena not seen elsewhere on the web. So to Marsha, Flake, Deej and Tery, a heartfelt and very deep thank you for what you have succeeded in doing with this board. I will miss you deeply and sadly i haven't had the opportunity to meet anyone of you which is a pity. It was, i thought, very fun when i managed to meet some of the members at the Colorado Kon in 2016. I will always remember that. I learnt that the friendliness of this board goes outside the web and exists in personal meetings too. So Marsha, Flake, Deej and Tery, you have done something fantastic here. You have been instrumental in creating Ka-Tet between us. A bond like but unlike that of familymembers! Thank You!!!!

I have posted this before, but for one last time....

This board is unlike anything else on the internet. I have been on gaming boards, pregnancy and new mom boards, cruising boards, etc. There is always a point where I can't take them anymore and just have to step away, never to interact with those folks again. On here, I have made dear friends that I text, chat, email and snail mail with. I have been lucky enough to meet some of you in person. I have shared parts of my life that have been happy and tragic and I have listened and tried to be supportive when you have done the same. There is a caring here that can be found nowhere else that has a .com in it's name. The root of all of that is Marsha - Moderator. Her kindness, tact and toughness as needed gave our other moderators - Dana Jean, FlakeNoir, Tery - a sturdy foundation to maintain when we were 24/7 operational with consistancy and grace.

I have not been around as much lately due to the board hours and my workload and then as things are finally getting better, the time has come to say goodbye. And I don't want to. I have a second home in the Playground and I am more than grateful to osnafrank for that haven. But I will miss my home. I will miss the SKMB and the Tet that I was lucky enough to become a part of. I love you folks and hope that we will continue to stay in touch in the Playground or some other way. PM me for alternate contact info if you want.

Marsha - best of luck with your retirement! May our paths cross again one day if Gan wills!

(((Everyone))) :love_heart:

I've been struggling to put into words what the closing will mean for me. (What? Me? Lost for words... sure, it could happen.)
My days and nights are pretty full with work and other commitments outside of the MB, so over the past almost 4 years I haven't been able to spend as much time here as I would have liked, so I guess I probably won't be taking up many new hobbies. Time-wise, it'll be carry on as normal.
On the emotional changes, I'm not quite ready to go there yet, so will come back to that a little later.

I hate I found this place so late. You are good people. At first I didn't know how to deal with that. I was on forums before with wicked smart folks with an emphasis on wicked. Any missive, no matter how benign, was meat to wolves. Here folks were just as smart but with heart. I've always loved the stories folks tell of their own lives devoid of defense and I got that here. I wish it could continue. Just know that I appreciate it and will miss the folks here. The magic of life and love be with you all.
