I echo those same thoughts.
It is very hard to believe that this is the end of the first full decade of this site.
And what a long, but fun trip it has been--even with those "keeping the finances in order", as Pool said.
Even though for some threads, the capping might be going down a similar path as many print magazines are moving slowly to ending their runs--but yet, some of them will continue online.
As for me, I hope to continue to have the time. But if for some reason in 2020 or deeper into the future, I will try my best to check in and leave some comments once in a while.
It has definitely been a cool online labor of love, you know who you are on that.
My guess is--there are some ladies who actually have seen these boards once in a great while and that is why I think some threads are not getting as much action as they did starting with the end of the 2000's and especially the start of the 2010's.
Hope this decade of the 2020's is even better for everyone--and who knows, maybe some new members would like to join in on the fun.
Just something to think about once Santa leaves and puts on his sandals and drinks some ice cold lemonade come summertime.
Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings to one and all.
