I have not forgotten you.....
Life happens doesnt it.

Thankyou... 2 good friends here came looking for me because they hadnt seen me post.

I explained why.....

The dog/cat site I have posted on many times a day everyday for 7 years was taken over 2 years ago. The new $%^&*() practiced willful neglect... bit by bit... it all began to break and Tuesday they said its shutting down on 3rd March. Get what you can off your pages (each pet has a page.. and many of us learned to code so we could make beautiful pages. I have taught 100s... made 1000's. Made friends I will have all my life.

We laughed with each other.. cried.. supported each other when our beloved Pets left for the Rainbow Bridge...

Its so damned hard. Not going to cry... not yet.... lots of people to help.....to get their pics.. their diaries.. I have been screen shotting.. extracting... doing all, 18 hours, often more a day.

All because of hateful wilful neglect.

I have a deep pain in my chest that isnt going to go for a long time. There is nowhere really for us all to go.... some are on faceless.. I am not. But this was for our animals.. groups.. forums.... pages.... experience....rescues... advice for folk who asked... all going.

I do comment collation for CoCoRaHS and I finally got to my daily stock of those at 2am...it will be the same tonight/morning . I was up till 4am getting stuff off site for non computer savvy folk.....and that is going to go on till the last moment.

First time in 6 mths, 3 days ago .... I just didnt get to Ipernity....I managed sometime in the early hours today to say Thankyou for comments but havent got to my groups. Like you.. I have loved making the friends I have.. and try to keep up and appreciate them as they do me.

I feel guilty as hell. I so value the friends like you I have made there. I am going to TRY and at least do my groups tonight... sometime... I wont catch up..
"


Well.... I wont get to the groups again tonight. I still have a bundle to do to keep on schedule.

I think the point of sharing this misery with you is because

1. I havent forgotten you...
2. I value the friendship
3. I needed just to see a corperate company with ethics... such as Ipernity.

I will be back as soon as possible.. I do still try to get in just for a few mins daily

Back to the Apocalypse Place..............

A sad thing to lose something you have spent years building. Leaving flickr was one of the hardest things I have done...and that was mainly volountary. But thru that I have met so many new friends here like you that helped lessen the pain. Never worry about catching up...we will wait for you.

.. Pam, you must do what is right for you and those souls with you on the site - there is no reason to feel guilty - to worry about any of us in here - we have come because _____________ - everyone can fill in their own reason - we (speaking for myself) will stay - for many reasons, but you know the main one .. SAB ...
.. just keep on .. but, BREATHE ... release .... breathe ... release ... TFN. ..
.. we will be here .... hugzzzzzzzzzzz..
.. like Jim Boynton said, " we will wait for you" ...

So sorry to read this, Pam. It all sounds like the problem at F****r on a magnified scale. Sadly, that seems to be the way of many websites - before starting the 'other place' I posted photos on a good Australian photo sharing site: and one day....puff.... it had simply gone! So, at this stage, just get on and do what needs doing. Chins up!

Life happens sometimes and you just gotta do what you gotta do. I'm pretty sure Ipernity will still be there when you get back.

Pam J replied to Shuttering Yukon:

Wendi... at the very last breath..the pressure and fuss we created saved the site.. its been a very very long haul... but a company with ethics has bought it.. and they are trying their very best to step by step repair and consolidate. Its a long ways to go.. but we are being consulted.. and valued.... now there is a novel idea !

And Rainbow Bridge... so many waiting there on the far side by the Turtle Pond..... and one day...............
