Hi all, I've been completely offline for the last couple of weeks. I didn't realise it would be for so long, or I'd have mentioned it beforehand. Glad to see the place is still here, at least! I'm just starting to catch up with PMs, tags, etc so if you're waiting for a reply from me, I should get back to you soon  |

I hope you were gone because you were out doing something fun and wonderful and not because a construction crew dug up your lines that provide cable/internet. LOL

Now I'm wondering what on earth I missed - we seem to have had a huge number of new members (by recent standards). Anyone have an idea why?

The death of Heidi swapp's son seemed to prompt some new memberships.

P.s. I did notice you weren't around but assumed that you were letting us squabble amongst ourselves  |

(From what I gather) Their kits have gotten smaller, shipping has increased, customer service is worse... There is a multi-page thread about it on the GS board here. |

I believe "our" board was in the No. 1 position on Google searches. I think this resulted in a lot of sign-ups. Also- see the GS board- we have a whole bunch of Studio Calico refugees  ETA: should have read to the end of the thread. |

Welcome back, admin. Do you have a back-up person you can leave in charge so you can take breaks as needed? Now I'm wondering what on earth I missed - we seem to have had a huge number of new members (by recent standards). Anyone have an idea why? Also, Studio Calico is in an uproar, and the board has gone quiet, so a lot of those came over here. Isn't Studio Calico always in an uproar?! |

Oh I missed that. What's the latest uproar about? (From what I gather) Their kits have gotten smaller, shipping has increased, customer service is worse... There is a multi-page thread about it on the GS board here. It started as them announcing their new website via email, and in the email they outlined their new sub plan which eliminates free shipping, increases prices and requires a non roll over 12 month sub. Meaning you have to recommit every 12 months or pay 1/2 of your remaining sub. Besides the fact their new terms stink, it was really about the info being buried in an email announcing their new site. |

I will admit I did not notice you're absence, lol. But I assume that when all is well, you keep a low profile.
Hope you had an enjoyable & relaxing time away from your Pod. Welcome back!
