For our Lovely Lurkers and the few active participants - you beautiful people - a discussion will occur next month as to whether there is enough traffic and interest to keep the Board going. This has been home to a lot of us for a very long time but it might be time to let it go. -- kgp, Mon, July 15 2024, 12:01:08

Quote of the Day started somewhere around 2000, I think. Someone may have a more accurate record than I do - I'm just guessing. Anyway, if it was 2000 then QOTD has been going for 24 years. I'd say that's a pretty good run.

I think things have dwindled down to about half a dozen diehards these days. KGP did a great job of moderating for the last few years. And I know there are a few ladies who aren't on Facebook and they enjoy coming here to see the quotes.

But, to be honest, it seems that interest has really waned. There haven't been any quotes for over a week and I've only had one inquiry about that.

I guess the question would be is there still interest? And then the second question would be who wants to take on the job of organising quoters?

I'll leave this here and see what the responses are.

Another option could be to move it to a Facebook group but that would leave out those who are not on Facebook. I think FB is just an easier way to do things, but there may not even be interest in that. 24 years is a long time for something to continue, but people change and interests change.

Hey - throw out your thoughts. :)

[> I agree, interest in the board has waned, but not our love for the books. I was a lurker for years, then started doing some quotes, it was fun. As much as I love this site, I think it is time to say goodbye unless someone steps up and takes charge. Unfortunately, that won't be me. I'll check back in a day or two and see what the sense of the group is. -- Janet, Sun, August 18 2024, 9:08:58

I want to say NO. BUT interests do change. I have been a lurker, posted a very few comments, and I am so very thankful for the Ladies that do quote. I will be very sorry to not come to the boards and be a voyeur in everyone’s lives which are much more interesting than mine and “read the books” in little snippets when I don’t have time to pick one up. And also get suggestions of books from like minded readers. I have enjoyed LOL since the beginning and thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I gave up facebook quite some time ago.

[> I'm also a permanent lurker. I love the daily quotes but I have to admit I can't be arsed to post them myself. -- Susannah, Mon, August 19 2024, 6:39:19

[> I love this board and the extras of the card and ornament exchange and cards for Ladies that need them. I don’t want it to end but I’ve been lax about posting and taking a week too. Could we keep some form? Remember Polls & Surveys, Social Board and the Kirk, besides QOTD. I love the thoughts and opinions here; not Facebook but a common place online. When the new book and season come out we’ll have a lot to discuss. -- Kathy in PA, Mon, August 19 2024, 9:20:51
