This whole transfer to the new site thing is very sad to me! I learned of this site from a friend, and from that I developed conversations, laughter, friendships and a place to escape for a few minutes. Now, I am reading from what appears the same email as others have started to receive, that the time, effort, and energy that all of us have used to share words, to communicate with everyone, to encourage everyone, is all for not? It does leave a very bad taste in our mouths.
I do like the idea of the swagbucks thread. (I think there is one on the previous page). However, I am with the others, for me it is about Community! I come here for not just the words, but for the Community and support. You guys were huge for me when my dog Rizzo had passed away. I have noticed over time key members have stopped coming here and I miss them, not just for their words, but for the contribution to the forum. The graphics, you all have no idea how often I have laughed and shared with my boyfriend the graphics!
I really would like to see us form a community with swagbucks if that is the route most of us are going to go. I have been to the new site, and I see that it says you can "earn credits" but so far no idea how to go about that. I don't like how the ratio is pathetic in that most people will become very discouraged at the length of time it takes to earn anything worth its value, one would hope that the choices would improve. There are only so many books a person can have!
I have over 300,000 earned points. I was hoping to hang on to them til say Christmas time, and could use them towards gifts for friends and family, but I am really leery that during the transfer from P n P to SheKnows that those points will be lost, not to mention they are going to be reduced anyways.
I know the first instinct is for many to say ***** it and just leave. But to those that don't want to and would like to form a Community Thread for which ever they choose, whether it be SheKnows or Swagbucks, let me know, I for one would like to be a part of it.
Thank you for reading my rant and being here.
