This reminds me so much of when Excite closed its doors. I'd been in a group similar to this one for about 3 years and we even had get-togethers every year in different parts of the country. I went to two of them. We were a trivia chat group and although a few of us kept in touch--shit I've married and divorced one--there are so many people I miss and know I will never talk to again. From there I found MSN and eventually you guys. And here we go again. Some of the other MSN groups I've been a member of are moving to different forums and I don't think  I'll be following them. I'd rather have one place to go to and if I have to choose...I choose Sidebar.
