SNIFF! It's over..... First and foremost, thank you to Sam! All your hard work and time, you sure made it a great place to hang out and make wonderful friends. To the other moderators, thanks for all your work! To Jim, thanks for keeping the candle burning by moving some of our most important stuff here: the couch, the kitchen table, Blanche's bed... To all our old friends, let's keep this going for both Sam and Jim! To our new friends, WELCOME!!

Yupp, the end of an era. Felt weird updating the site and seeing that message on the front page.
Let's keep the family going, indeed.

Just think of it as checking into the Golden Palace! (But with many more seasons to come)

I didn't really get to know Couch Potatoes all that well, but it was clearly a well-loved forum. I will help you all in keeping this one going too. Will cheesecake help?

I'm grateful we have this place. It's so nice to see your postings!
Today I've tried to login Couch Potatoes for a reason I don't know. And it happened twice. I miss Sam!

Sam is registered here... I'm sure she will be popping in... Stephen too.

<3 the screenshots! I'll be saving the forum and hopefully one day I'll be able to put it online as an archive, so people can read all our 'history'. So weird how I've gone to the forums out of habit many times today and thought "Oh, I wonder when this will be open again". Thanks for all the kind and lovely words everyone. It has barely been 24 hours and I already missed being separated from the gang

I like Big Gun's analogy:
Sam - You're Dorothy. You've married Lucas and you're moving out. But you'll be back from time to time. It's just not ALL your responsibility to keep the whole house going. (Dorothy is not to be blamed for being capable...) Just don't feel that we've moved on, and don't need you anymore. We sure do!!!!
WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN PALACE EVERYONE!!!
(without that annoying kid Oliver!)

Someone just needs to remind Sam that when she does come back, she has to say "Have a nice day" or she owes each of us a piece of pie.
