On xmas I saw the pop up message from Stephen King. It read like a marketing form letter. Whenever u see all capital letters in words and exclamation ect it's signs of a form marketing. No biggie was just wondering if it was really him

Is that message archived anywhere, Ms.Mod? It came and went so quickly I only had the chance to read it once. Is it someplace obvious that I am missing? Thanks!Yes, Stephen is the one who wrote the message and used all caps which is just another way of identifying titles of works rather than using italics or quotation marks.
I still have it in my email. Here's the cut/paste:Is that message archived anywhere, Ms.Mod? It came and went so quickly I only had the chance to read it once. Is it someplace obvious that I am missing? Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who checked the site this year. I appreciate all you guys, and hope your holidays—whichever ones you celebrate—are sweet. Keep your families close, and keep an eye out to make sure it’s Santa and not Pennywise slithering down your chimney. 2017 looks like a good one for fans of my stuff: film versions of THE DARK TOWER and IT, as well as THE MIST TV series from Spike. My son Owen and I wrote a kick-ass book called SLEEPING BEAUTIES that will be out, and HEARTS IN SUSPENSION, my memoir of the 60s, is currently available. Lots of love, you guys. And lots of shivers.

Tom, I received the message through the Official Newsletter through StephenKing.com. before it was even posted on the message board. If you don't get the newsletter through email, I would recommend it. The newsletter always provides good and interesting info that I wouldn't know otherwise.Is that message archived anywhere, Ms.Mod?

That was done on purpose. I wanted the newsletter subscribers to get something special as oftentimes it seems like all we're doing is sending out blurbs to buy something so asked Jordan to wait a few days before posting the message on Facebook and the SKMB.View attachment 18806

Well, that was a very nice surprise and certainly made me feel special! Next thing you know, he'll agree to my marriage proposal! JK.That was done on purpose.

It's still up if you look at the board without logging in. Not that I would do that on purpose, I deleted my regular email app- it doesn't matter, it's still nice to see.Is that message archived anywhere, Ms.Mod?

Thanks. For me, it did go away quickly. I read it, clicked to another topic and it was gone. It all depended on how long one stayed on the first page one clicked on that day. At least for me.It's still up if you look at the board without logging in. Not that I would do that on purpose, I deleted my regular email app- it doesn't matter, it's still nice to see.
It really didn't go away quickly, either, not that I minded. It sort of popped up in the middle of a heated political thread, and there it stayed...
Speaking of minions. . .wait! I'll save that for another day. This one has lasted forever.
It followed wherever I clicked, but that could have something to do with the smartphone. It was a little tricky to post anything behind it.Thanks. For me, it did go away quickly.
