Just to let you all know

Just to let you all know

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Just to let you all know. I appreciate the new reviews and have loved the time I spent here since 2008.
But these past few weeks, we lost WC...and it was far too long for me.
I found another site along with many others from here. Starsrite has monitors, no drama, just poetry and good interaction.
I can only afford the time to be on one site....I will miss many of you who don't come over to Starsrite.
But I hope most you will try it out.
This was my poetry home for so many years and with all the glitches this past year, I stuck it out hoping 
things with get back to normal...but my patience ran out.
Happy writing to everyone.
j.

Hi Jacob I will miss you I may try the site too one day. Thanks for being a great poet here I’ve enjoyed reading all your work and thanks for your many reviews! I am frustrated too over the site going down and this week I’m backing most of my work up on word so will take me a long time as I’ve never bothered before ! Again I’ve appreciated your friendship and wish you good health and happy writing till we meet at the other site if I get there I hope too when I can
Cheers x Julie

Enjoy your journey. You can always come back. We will be here for a while longer. I'm fairly certain you won't be forgotten.

I só understand your reasons my dear friend but am reluctant to completely give this place up altogether. I guess I will flit between both like a butterfly for the time being, Change doesn’t come easy for me. This place though will always echo with your poetry spirit. You have taught me so much and our friendship is forever.

Hi Jacob I'm sorry you are leaving and will miss you. I do understand your frustration as I was unable to even post a poem. Another site is hello poetry or HP you could check out. I have never heard of Starsrite but I will check it out. Always keep your words flowing ;-]

Thank you Jacob I will think about it ;-]
Been here and been there and like others - no authentication email. But I did look beyond that glitch. StarsRite seems an incomplete site - even their "Contact" link has an unusable code glitch so you can't even TELL anyone there that there is a problem. I did explore the site (as I could) and was interested enough to experience the "Login" glitch multiple times. I will try again - but as with here, too many glitches destroys the goodwill of 11+ years of membership.

Hi Jacob. Same story as the others mentioned, no confirmation email here either.
To be honest it's the people I'll miss but like yourself and so many more wc has had its last chance from me and there's so much that I won't miss about it.
I'm not too fussed about going back to manual writing, as in off-line but there's been a lot of connections over the years that I will miss and will hopefully one day find this site running glitch and troll free. I will not be holding my breath waiting for that to happen though.
Take care and keep writing my friend.
