Here's a thought: Steve's going to be retiring in the future at some point so why not just let him be The Moderator? He's going to have lots of time on his hands.
I liked this then unliked it so I could like it again.

Did you know that when you hold your breath too long all that happens is that you pass out?Here's a thought: Steve's going to be retiring in the future at some point so why not just let him be The Moderator? He's going to have lots of time on his hands.
(((Kurben))) Many people here have joined osnafrank's group so that might be an option for you to keep in touch with kindred souls. You might even see me there one day.
I don't think he'd ever stop writing, but that doesn't mean he has to continue publishing and all the public commitments that go along with that.

Is it just the SKMB, or are the offices also going to be affected in 2020?
Moderator It's clear that everyone behind the scenes has put a lot of heart and thought into the board, how it operates and how best to handle your imminent retirement. I agree on all counts. Hot Topics most likely effected traffic in a major way - I think I only opened that door twice - ran right back out! I've made some really good personal friends on this board - and I'll keep those friendships going via email, phone calls, snail mail, and the board Frank started - whatever it takes. Weekends are better for me to post, sometimes - not always. I constantly struggle for balance, but I'm so grateful I found my way here and I'm sad to see it go, but I get it.
GNTLGNT You're right on that! I totally didn't get that it meant the board would be closing - went right over my head.
Friends, this doesn't have to be the end. Stay in touch with the friends you've made.

Damn straight! The secret to successful marriages everywhere.
If your actual question is what is going to be affected as it relates to Steve and his writing, that's something he's still pondering. He's given me a possible scenario but that's not something that is appropriate to make public at this time as it could change.
I wouldn't recommend that for most situations. Exceptions are always possible, though--e.g. when you're under water, in a fire/smoke situation, attending a protest and the police have released smoke grenades, etc.So... Don't hold your breath?
Or getting HT removed? Oh... no... I didn't go there. j/kI wouldn't recommend that for most situations. Exceptions are always possible, though--e.g. when you're under water, in a fire/smoke situation, attending a protest and the police have released smoke grenades, etc.
On a more serious note I get the majority of my information regarding future publications, adaptations, signed books, sweepstakes, tidbits about SK and his prior works, etc from stephenking.com. I know the SKMB will be going away but I was wondering about the website and the information it provided. I was wondering if the rest would be handled by the publishers or elsewhere. I understand it is probably too early to give details but you know someone’s eventually gonna ask.
I'm surprised the media hasn't already picked up on some of this already and been writing about their speculations.

Ahhh....those are separate things in that the one can continue without the other (SKMB). The plan at the moment is to continue the web site after my retirement since there is much more in the SK universe than just the books which would not directly involve the publishers.Or getting HT removed? Oh... no... I didn't go there. j/k

Thanks. Good to know that not all will be lost and moved to third parties.

He'd put a stop to all our tomfoolery and shenanigans. Nothing would be "overlooked".
Nah, it'd be pretty awesome, wouldn't it?
Is it 2020 yet?
The TV show? That still on?
