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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

Now that's a visual we don't need! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
Peterfan I was going back to the previous page and I thought it said you were from "Wellfeet!"
To much foot talk - it's making me miss letters!

Re: NAKED TOENAIL GUY strikes again!
O.K., this isn't as disgusting as abare bottom on the bench, but I don't understand why this one lady at my health club always has to blow dry her hair when she's totally nude. (I have to come out of the bathroom and wash my hands in the sink right next to her.) DH asked what she looked like - then he decided I am the one with the problem, not her... [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] What does the guy with the bare bottom on the bench look like? (Just kidding, it's still gross!)

Re: NAKED TOENAIL GUY strikes again!
Steve, you've got to do something about this! Tell the management that there are people all over the country who are up in arms about this problem! It's very upsetting! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/achoo.gif[/img]

Re: NAKED TOENAIL GUY strikes again!
You know, I agree, you ought to say something to management about this guy's lack of hygene etiquette...you pay for that membership, right? I bet there are others that feel the same way...UGH, I would certainly say something. [img]graemlins/dizzy.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">LOL - Well, there is lots of nudity in the locker room, but it's the sitting on the bench without a towel underneath that just creeps me out. |

Re: NAKED TOENAIL GUY strikes again!
Hey Steve! I saw a commercial last night that reminded me of your plight here.
Bunch of ladies in shorts are getting on a bus to go for a garden tour. Shows them sliding into the bus seats. Just before the bus pulls away, the bus driver reaches up and changes the bus sign, from Nudist Colony to Garden Tour! Then the announcer says, "Things not as clean as they appear?" It's an ad for Dial Soap. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">CLASSIC! I wonder if that ad is in print - maybe I can clip it and paste it in the locker room! Heading off to the gym now - I think he's just a once a weeker there, but we'll see. |

Re: NAKED TOENAIL GUY strikes again!
THIS MADMAN MUST BE STOPPED!!!
OH..but how?? hmmmmm...lets see. I think you need to plant something on that bench that would cause a hidious rash steve...what though?? Itching powder maybe...but he would see it before he plops his hairy butt down (I ASSUME its hairy). THINK THINK THINK! You need to visit your local gag store and find a descrete soulution!
and...Marv....I dont think you have a problem at all...I would be digusted with someone who behaved in that manor as well...I dont care to see anyones naked body...let alone...have to stand next to it. I have always had a probelm with thongs...why would I want to see your butt? I dont! even if it is a nice one...I still dont want to see it, nor do my children. DH however, different story! lol!
