I am new to message boards and I just read that this one will become a 'read-only' board on June 21st. What does this mean??

Dear Joy,

It means iVillage is closing this board because "pageviews show there's very little interest in the board".  Leta and I just got the news a few days ago ourselves out of the blue, and were told not to discuss this until they made a formal announcement here.  We're in a bit of a shock... I never saw the value of this community in terms of numbers, but the situation is totally out of my hands.

I'm sorry, Joy, but I am very glad I had the opportunity to meet you before that was made impossible.  I'm including my email in my signature.  The people I have met through this board are very important to me, and I would love to keep in touch with whomever wants to.  I was given the opportunity to cl another board, but my heart was in doing this...I think this board is very special, and I will step down from being a cl for iVillage.

I'm going to make my farewell post soon...this is very hard for me, but my faith tells me to go with it and trust that something better will unfold through this.  I've learned a lot from this experience and will never attempt to create a community of such intimate sharing without some control over its existance again!

There are other wonderful communities at iVillage that offer great support, and I would encourage you to continue to seek help, support and commraderie there...also to seek the support you need in your own immediate world as suggested before.

Just know that there is an inner wisdom that you possess that will guide you in all your ways.

Blessings,

 

Demian,

Hi Joy, welcome to the Relationships Channel of iVillage.  Read-only is the term we use when a board is disabled from accepting new posts, and removed from the message board listing page.  From time to time the producers need to evaluate what we are offering our members in order to keep our communities vibrant and active.

I hope that you will take advantage of the other message boards that are available at Relationships as well as the Health Channel of iVillage, there are many other boards and I'm sure there will be one that meets your needs.

I would be happy to answer any questions or comments via email at relationshipscm@mail.ivillage.com

Thank you
