I was reminded to come here after I was having a trip down memory lane with some old photos and came across a picture I took of my computer with Couch Potatoes Forums open on it. Remember the logo - deep blue background, bright orange sofa and two potatoes with googly eyes sitting on it? I remember like it was almost yesterday. That was a transitioning period from being solely about The Golden Girls when things started to slump, so we tried revamping and opening up to ALL sitcoms in order to attract more people though that didn't go as planned.

I do remember that, Sam... seems like it was early in 2007 or 2008, if memory serves. Glad to see you pop-in - hope you will do so again soon.

No matter what's the topic, Sam's posts make me feel so cozy. So nice to hear from you. I have so many fond memories of Couch Potatoes Forums. Don't you ever leave us/Golden Girls News!

Aww thanks, you guys! I admit I haven't watched GG for a long long time, but I'm in the middle of an Empty Nest fest and that has been giving me similar fuzzies as GG gave me - and reminds me of the GG forum family we had over the years. Jarkko, always lovely to hear from you! I was watching the latest series of Vera recently and was thinking about you

Jarkko, always lovely to hear from you! I was watching the latest series of Vera recently and was thinking about you Heartwarming coinsidence: just a few weeks ago I was thinking of you while watching Vera. Vera was talking to someone very close to a huge bridge (Millennium Bridge?) and I thought that I'm sure Sam has been walking/driving across it. Also the seashore scenes make me think of you. "Has Sam been walking there? I'm sure she has".

I'm feeling a little life in the forum this morning. All it takes is for members to make a post or two, and others comment, and so on... Nice to see today!

I might've contributed a little to the 'slump' as I'd been not only panicking about my account details, having just got a new device, but personal problems got on top of me too.

It seems as though most everyone has moved on from the forums. I'm not sure what else I can do to keep the momentum going in any way. Sadly, those who encouraged me to open the new forum even seem to have disappeared as well.
As is with life, these things happen. We saw it at Couch Potatoes, and now here at Golden Girls News.
It doesn't mean I am closing the forum down... But I will likely not be popping in daily as I have tried in the past. Sadly, the last big story we will likely experience here is when we lose Betty White... Though, that time may be in the far distance (at least we can hope).
I appreciate everyone who has participated in the forums, and I hope we still have people pop in and chat and catch up. But until some major news comes up, or there is a sudden surge in popularity here, I will likely lay low for awhile.

Jim, it's been a busy summer for me. Two weeks in NB to visit family, a week and a half in San Francisco, and a week up north at a cottage. Internet is always an issue when travelling, and when you are away, time with others, sightseeing and other activities take precedence over online activities... Don't worry. We'll be back. Labour day is just around the corner (ugh).

GG isn't really on the news so not much interest as of 2016 No disagreement... But if there are forum topics/threads/boards that could be added to engage people, I would gladly do it. If it's sports, music, IT, personal,etc... Would welcome the discussion. Feedback is always desired and appreciated.
