Honestly, I rarely participate in it myself, and if I only host it for the sake of building up pageviews so I can earn more advertising money, it feels against the values I am trying to live by. I also don&#8217;t like comments shared on the forum that bring the blog down to a level that makes me uncomfortable, and even with the help of a user-moderating flag tool, I find that I do not have the resources to monitor all that is being written on the site.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who are regulars in the forum, I offer my apologies for taking away your home. I am providing a week&#8217;s notice so that you can coordinate amongst yourselves if you want to create a forum elsewhere. <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.ning.com\/compareplans\">Ning<\/a> has a plan for less than $20\/year that accommodates up to 150 members, and I am sure there are many other options you can look into. Unfortunately, there is no way for your data or the forum threads to be exported. (For those who are technically-minded, it would just be one big MySQL dump.) So you can use the time before 2\/3 to save any pages that are important to you to your hard drive.<\/p>\n<p>What this means for the future: If you are registered on Sasstrology, you will still be able to comment on blog posts, but there will be no private messaging system, no status updates, no groups, no profiles.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. <a\nhref=http:\/\/boards.elsaelsa.com\/>Elsa<\/a> invites anyone interested to join the conversation at her boards.<\/p>\n<p> <img\nfifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/sasstrology.com\/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=34479&type=feed&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div\nstyle='display:none' id=\"post-refEl-34479\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mars is retrograde, and I feel it is triggering something in me that needs to close the forum.
