How do we know for sure that what anyone says about being banned is true?  I think it's a good set up over there but over there they can talk about stuff you can't talk about over here.  I don't believe everything people say.

Yes.  Many are already posting at the new place(s) and indicate that they have no interest in returning here.

Several have also been banned in the past few days which also annoyed others.

Wow...banned? Whatever for?? Not being nosey just wondering if talking about where to go next gets one banned. 

yeesh.

---

@amyb   I am not sure but I gather they were writing to the CEO.  What do they expect?  Just treat their customers like this and we say nothing?   Kachina is one that got banned.  IKnow for a fact that she buys a lot here.  THeir loss.

@BalletBabe @amyb 

Wow! I did not know that Kachina was banned. I have seen some posters on the new board that have stated that they were banned.

Wow!

I wonder if her loyalty and coming to their defense all the time will change now?  She was what loyal truly means.

@BalletBabe - Last I saw there were 500+ people there - I don't recognize all the names and some nics have changed, but the majority are familiar to me.

@riley1  Yes, and over 1,000 total visitors.  Might be people just checking it out.  I think it is going to be fun.  I am so happy for those who have no one on Christmas.   People are sick of their posts being removed with noexplaination and I think this will work out better.

@Johnnyeager   I was just over there.  They banned people that have been loyal Forum shoppers.   Wow just Wow   I actually like it better over there!!!

Why would admins here ban posters for leaving?  Isn't it true Q is closing these forums Nov. 2.  What else are people supposed to do?  

It's nice to set something else up right away and have friends move to the same forum and get used to it.

@Johnnyeager   I believe some were banned for posting the email of the CEO to complain about closing this site.

I can only imagine the flood of complaints overflowing the Inbox.

I'm not happy about it either but I'm over it.  I'm only missing one poster in particular who hasn't said anything about going "over there".

There was a time when a phone number was listed for a person in CS; I wil not mention her name.  The woman was not only receiving constant complaints about disliked posters but some were actually copying and faxing the "offensive" posts to her.

You may not have been here at the time.

I have left and have already started a new Book Thread on the new site. The only reason why I am hanging around is out of loyalty to the Readers in Book Club, I want to make sure that everyone knows that we have moved and not have any problems getting on over there. 

---

@icezeus   I am also staying until the end for the What Are You Doing Today thread that was started by ShowMe, who passed away.  We have been keeping the thread going; it's small, but supportive.  I am still missing somebody in the new place.

I am also still on TV/Movies but the few threads I am on are slowly dying out.

It's definitely like The Titanic now.

Some abandoned ship, safely off on lifeboats, others clinging on till the bitter end.

@Johnnyeager   At least the Titanic had a band until the end.

@gertrudecloset   Because one poster told us over there and why.

There is no reason not to believe her.
