How did you find this out, @CANDLEQUEEN ? Even though no one really knows each other, some good, helpful, and kind interactions have taken place in the forums. I'll miss them.

I am slowly weaning myself off QVC. I have a couple of auto-delivery orders. Once they are complete I doubt that I will order anymore products from QVC. Now that the blogs and forums are being shut down I do not regret my decision of purchasing items at other stores/outlets.

@JeanLouiseFinch I know and I am going to miss that....I was reading about it on some of the other forums, like Community Chat and TV and Movies, and Q Talk....Plus on the homepage there is a little bit about it.......

I'm not on FB, so that's IT for me.

This is incredibly sad news. I will miss coming here so much. Feel like I'm losing so many friends!

VERY SAD!

DO NOT DO FACEBOOK, SO I WILL MISS THE FORUMS ALOT.

ON THE OTHER HAND IT WILL SAVE ME A TON OF MONEY BY NO LONGER BEING ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS OR GET RECOMMENDATIONS ON ITEMS.

THAT IS WHAT PROMPTED ALOT OF MY PURCHASES.

That is terrible news! Wow.

How ironic...FB has been down a record amount of time today. No one is talking about what has happened.

I am weaning myself from FB. I am an administrator for my church's page, or else I would be off of it entirely. Unfortunately, it's also how I keep in touch with a lot of former work mates and relatives. But FB itself sucks.

FB is not the only place to have a group! Im on the q one there and it is pretty boring.

There are sites to make a group for us all to go to! Such as google groups, groups io, and others.

Unless the mods were an extra expense and Q's cutting corners, I see no reason to stop the forums.

@CANDLEQUEEN. Dropping these forums is not a smart move. I come here to read what others are saying and to keep up with friends. If the forums are gone, I have no reason to come to the Q's website. I doubt I'm the only one who reads the forums without looking at the items being sold.

@Shanus And if the mods were an extra cost, then cut back the foum, only keep a few of the heavily trafficked forums.......Right now there are 26 individual ones, they could cut that in half......They could try other things besides just getting rid of them! I am very dissappointed!

Sad news for me too. I opened a facebook account about 6 years ago for work reasons but never put any info out there or posted. I tried using facebook recently and decided I don't like it and don't like posting there. Haven't opened my account page since February and not planning to. Will miss the posters here as I prefer this format.

Gee they could have at least waited until after the holidays.

Sad news. I am not on Facebook and will not do so in the future. What a shame!

Oh wow, this is the saddest news.

If only they knew/understood that these boards also increase their sales... bottom line!

@CANDLEQUEEN Maybe this is a sneaky way to judge our interests to see if the forums should stay.

HAVING FRIENDS TO SHOP WITH AND CHAT ABOUT PURCHASES WAS WHAT MADE IT FUN.

THINK IT IS A "BIG" MISTAKE FOR QVC.

Under Welcome Get Started, all is locked out.

In light of the 60 Minutes FB Whistleblower piece that aired last night?!
