This is confusing?? Also, I don't think you understand most of us are not interested in Face Book?

This is such wonderful, exhilarating news!

QVC has a heart as does its new CEO with the nice smile.

Thank you, QVC. You will not regret this decision.

I agree with you @BalletBabe and disagree with you all at the same time! LOL

I will NEVER go on FB.

However, I am the ONLY one I know that doesn't use it. Even DH does!

It has become a huge part of today's culture.

I have had ppl ask me if I am hiding in the Witness Protection Program

because I refuse to expose myself there.

I think we are DEF in the minority! Otherwise, FB wouldn't have become the Monster Behemoth it has.

Great news. My question for those who joined the other board. How do you UNJOIN it? I just want to make sure that any info I gave them is erased. I actually only got half way and did not get as far as the JOIN but the information half way could be a problem. Not sure. Anyone know?

I just read this WE HEARD YOU paragraph when I went on the forums. I am not on Facebook and have no interest or need to do so, that is out for me. I did join the pro boards and TCM but haven't navigated either to any extent. Someone, please clarify, are these forums staying or shutting down. From what I read they will remain. Thanks for any input!

@BalletBabe Please remove my quote from your post. I made an edit.

Thank you.

I will be here for the duration, especially since I didnt join the new one yet. but I will have nothing to do with FB, that will not change for me

I much prefer the ProForums board now. I will continue coming here for a while, but hope people don't leave the ProForums board because of this. We have more freedom there to discuss what we want to, although I hope political discussions will not be allowed.

A lot of work was done by quite a few people to set up the new boards, and I hope we will support their efforts.

I'm so confused.🤔

Re: Not Shutting Down Now??

What the message is saying is that QVC is offering both options (at least for now):

"...we’re keeping our Blogs & Forums live. We also invite you to visit the We #loveQVC Facebook group experience the wonderful and engaging community our team has begun to build there as well."

Perhaps they want more "agility," using the word as businesses do these days, and want to explore different avenues of pitching sales through Facebook. I don't know, but I am guessing they want to be versatile.

@NickNack , Same! LM

It seems that their preference is that you use Facebook, but that these Forums will also remain open as an option.

At least, that's my interpretation.

Re: Not Shutting Down Now??

Cakers3 — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 19:28:45 GMT

I'm just relaying the message. I did not write it.

I do not care if anyone likes FB or not; I am not even on it.

I have no control over this or what will happen with ProBoards.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Mellyg and staff of posters who so generously gave their time and effort to moderate the forum is very much appreciated. The forums over there are a breath of fresh air and personally, I hope to enjoy there as well as here.

Thanks, to the powers that be, for re-considering. Let the shopping resume!

I doubt I have another 24 years on this board in me, but glad to see it will continue to exist as long as I do. Hoping some that moved to other boards will continue to post here too. Wishing everyone a pleasant autumn weekend.
