As many of you know, I’ve been dropping hints for a while now about my impending retirement. Although I won’t be fully retired next year, I will be cutting down the number of days I’ll be working and the Message Board will be following those same days. Beginning in January, I will only be working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and those are the days the Board will be open. The volunteer moderators will continue to assist with the Board after my regular hours on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

In addition to the official Stephen King Facebook page, below is a partial list of fan-run sites with discussion groups that may be of interest to anyone who wants to have another place to interact with Stephen King fans for the times when the SKMB is closed. We are not endorsing any of these but simply providing them as resources. Don't hesitate to share others you may be aware of.

Oh goodness! I guess I really did miss some stuff. I'm happy for you (and glad we have the playground to lean back on).

Now, on a serious note, I want to take the time to thank you for all and everything that you have done for/with us here on this most wonderful place that we all come to share our love of Stephen King the man and his writings. You, Marsha, have made this a special place for all of us and we all have helped to make it a loving place filled with warmth and much love. It truly is like a family here- we have our ups and downs and even when we get upset we know that there are folks here who do care deeply about each other and that we can overcome any type of flare-ups, etc. Life won't be the same with the SKMB, but maybe something or someone will come along that will keep the doors open for a while longer. I am happy that your time for 'R' is coming closer for you as you d*mn well deserve to just be putting up your feet on the ol' foot rest and lay back and just enjoy. I will enjoy what time we have left.

Do it! Spread the 'joy!' :)

I guessing she'll ban me on her final day, because to this point she's not been allowed to mix business with pleasure. :)
Oh, no, no, no. If I was going to ban you, it would be at a time when you were least expecting it. :devil: And, really? You don't think all those verbal jabs over the years haven't been pleasurable? :rolleyes: ;)
