Forums Closed
|
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!
Best wishes for a wonderful and magical new year!

Re: Survivor: Who\'s Going Tonight?
I knew Elizabeth would be gone if she didn't win that memory game. I was really rooting for her too.
I'm guessing next week that if Tina does not win immunity, Colby will vote her off (and he will just hope that Keith votes the same way) because he knows there is no way Keith is going to get the majority of votes from the jury to win the whole thing. I'm just wondering what the immunity challenge will be. If it is a mind one again, she might have a chance.

Re: Survivor: Who\'s Going Tonight?
I'm hoping Tina takes it all! Being a woman, I always vote for women first, sorry! I don't have a real problem with Colby, he's just a little tooooo cocky!

Re: Survivor: Who\'s Going Tonight?
I'd like to see Tina take it at this point, but Colby has a BIG advantage. Winnng all the challenges, he's nutritionally MUCH better off than Keith or Tina. That's why he keeps winning.

Re: Survivor: Who\'s Going Tonight?
I was sad to see Elisabeth go as well. I did like her interview after the credits when she said she would have kicked the others' rears!
Keith will be in the final two because both Colby and Tina know they can beat him!

Re: Survivor: Who\'s Going Tonight?
I have been rooting for Elisabeth all along. Not only was I bummed that she got booted off, I was upset that she came so close to winning the car and then had to see Colby win something else. I am now pushing for Tina to win, but I have a feeling that Colby could go all the way.
It did really bother me to see how thin everyone looked, especially Tina and Elisabeth.

Re: Survivor: Who\'s Going Tonight?
I am rooting for that handsome Texan, and have been from the beginning! He playes the game well, and still manages to have a great relationship with the others. I have no problem with Keith, I think he gets a "bad rap", and I do think he was sincere with his proposal. I just think he is not as socially skilled as the others, shyer, quieter. Tina is cool, she is like the mother of the group. I will miss Elisabeth, what a cutie! When it comes down to it, I will be happy with whomever wins...unlike last year when I really didn't want Richard to win. Although he played the game well, I just didn't like the way he handled himself with his fellow teamates, manipulating and tricking them...very aggressive with how he played the game...but then, in the end they all voted for him to win didn't they?!? GO COLBY!!!!!

Re: Survivor: Who\'s Going Tonight?
I too was sad for Elisabeth. What a sweetie! I didn't think they had anymore challenges? Guess my booboo. If Colby and Tina are the final two, I think Tina will probably win. The only one she didn't get along with was Jerri. Yucky girl herself. But I had considered if Keith and Colby both voted for Tina. Man, I hope that doesn't happen. I have really enjoyed this time better than the island survivor. I think it is better with nicer players. You can still play the game without being mean and ugly! I would also give up free food to watch next week. Now we just have to wait for Thursday. mary
