The Farewell Thread

Leave our old home in style.

Do it your way. Appreciation, humor, nostalgia, reminiscing, Thanking folks.

I must collect my thoughts, then I will post too.

I've got my towel. Thumb in the air. So long and thanks for all the fish.

I have had a fantastic time on this forum, and will be forever grateful to it and all the wonderful people I have met here :D

A thousand thanks to all of you who have been a reassuring presence on this forum :)


And thank you Playrix, Anna, dread, Nevada, Bess and all the previous Mods and staff for the work you guys put in to it, creating a community I was proud to be part of :)


I am going to miss this place :(
It's been a Blast! Thank you, goodnight and god bless http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/th...y-emoticon.gif

I wish had seen the message about the Forum closing down a little sooner. But then I suppose I should be thankful I saw it at all before they turned off the lights and shut the door. For have I not just come out of my funk?

There is a legitimate excuse for today however as I had heart catheterization at about 9ish this morning. By the way, that sedative is pretty nice; it is now past 2 AM and I am still staggering like a drunken sailor.

The sedative shall also serve as my excuse for starting a separate farewell thread, not realizing in time that people were already using the "Township Forum shutting down" post for that purpose. Mortified, I tried to delete this thread, but could not figure out how. Sedative again or an idiot at work? Then I was saved by Charlie and Downton, so my farewell shall go here as well.

The banner for the already live new forum place says "An unofficial forum for players who love Townsip." I have loved our old Forum even more and many others must feel the same. We just could not not have a Forum and like manna from heaven, talented tech savvy people stepped up to keep that from occurring.

Years from now, Township players will still be visiting our old home and see the wealth of information the players left there, the virtual friendships forged in that gathering place, and the regard they had for each other. It was unique. I don't think any other game has what we had there.

It is sad to see it pass true, but I believe our new home https//township.forumotion.com/ is going to be very special too. Why? You will be there right, so how could it not? At any rate, I saved a few humorrhoids and plan on deploying them therein.

Sometimes in my live I ask for something new to do and the Universe (or anything or anyone else out here) always answers.
That may sound floating in your ears, but it works for me this way.
So years ago I requested for the opportunity to develop my writing.

As many of you I started here on the Forum as a reader, but the topics were inviting enough to join and so I started writing too.
But as a not native writing in English is a different cup of than talking it.
If it sounds well it doesn't always written the right way.

Fortunately for me, there was DD, you are a great helper and mentor from the first hint you gave me. So thank you for walking next to me, being the friend you really are.

The threads of Cobalt, with humor and that little twist, were very nice to read and really popular. You recently talked about the new colours that can take over your job. In my opinion the rainbow is not complete without that deep dark shining blue of you! So I'm looking forward to see you on the other side!

Thank you Nana and Graylady for still joining here as Forum members / TS players of the first hour.

Thank you Johnalex, for being the inspiring writer you are! It was your thread about 'Let's talk about Sheep' that inspired me to start writing about the never ending search for Township in Real life. Hope you find your way to our new home too.
Thank you Forummers for forming this really nice community that feels like home to me. For collecting so much information about the game, for sharing your experiences and your concerns. Really great to feel your friendship around here.

Thank you Anna for working together with me on new topics, for inspiration to start doing things on my own.
Thank you dreadnought, Nevada, Bessville and all the other Mods before you. For all of you: a job well done!


A lot has happened since the closing of the Lounge. A sign on the wall that was..
The opportunity Anna suggested me to create a spot in Groups to keep sharing stories to each other was the beginning of a new chapter.
Although moderating groups isn't really a job it was the beginning of the idea of starting a forum of our own.
Thank you again DD for walking next to me on this new road.
And then Downton, I asked you to investigate how your favorite Aquarium forum was build.
Soon after that you, DD and me were working on a wonderful new home! A d step by step more friends were following.

And dear dear Groupies, thank you all for joining in, for making this place a nice place to be together with you.


So goodbye and Welcome in our new home!


Time to close this door and open another for a housewarming party!
Kind regards,
Ruud

wow, Buddy, you know how to set some accents in a story ;)
BEST wishes for your recovery, and thank you again so much, for posting here, and for coming to the new forum.

One can but hope that Playrix will indeed keep this forum and all its info open for reading...

I have posted my farewell here.

BTW, AFAIK you can't delete the first post in a thread,even if you started it (and the less, when there are answers), so no reason to think bad things about yourself. :D

Come on up on your feet again soon, pls, but only after a good night's (or day's!) sleep.

Just now seeing the news that this gathering place will soon be no more. Too many memories and too many lovely people to even begin to express my disappointment that this is happening.

And Buddy, my very best wishes to you for a full and speedy recovery.

“The old order changeth, making way for new and God fulfills himself in many ways, lest one good custom should corrupt the Earth. But now, farewell...”

That emoji sums up my feelings on the closure...especially since I am terrible with words.

Thank-you to the core members of the forum that kept the wheels turning, to the moderators that help to keep the place cleaned and organized, to fellow players that brought in their own thoughts and ideas (even if we didn't agree) it still brought imagination for the enhancement of TS.
Thank-you for the fun, the laughs and the bonds of friendship that were created.

I look forward to seeing those you of you that would share in the next forum journey over at the Unofficial Township Forum.

Cobalt a speedy recovery wish for you! http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/si...y-emoticon.gif


Cheers! http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/happy/co...y-emoticon.gif

Many many years ago........ well that's how it seems...... I found myself playing a game with no clue whatsoever what I was doing, or why......
Then I found the forum. For a while now, I've been a 'lurker' as I now have my original iOS game as well as my MAC town - but for the first 3 years I was on the forum looking for answers more often than I was in my town I think.
I never did anything without popping in and checking with Greylady first 😂.
So much information - so much encouragement - so many laughs.
Thank you to all who have given so much time to help others.
And thanks to those who will carry this on.
Onwards and upwards........

I only missed logging in a few days...and missed a lot! I'll be seeing you in the other place. It's strange but my enthusiasm for the game really has followed the downward path of this forum. The change of the zoo made things so extremely boring and my interest level is next to zero. I only log in once a day to collect and send gifts. Every few days I may send a train. Never compete in regattas anymore, not even interseasonal. I would probably remove the app except there are two people in my coop I enjoy communicating with.

So long and thanks for the fish

Oh wow! I can hardly believe that this forum is closing and am quite honestly at a loss for words...

I have loved every second of it though and especially getting to meet and connect with so many amazingly kind, helpful people from all walks.

I will see y’all in another place I’m sure, though not the same home we’ve made here I am still optimistic that it will be full of the same people that made this forum so great!

What strange times we're going through. Reading your posts made me reach for my tissues..seriously lol. When I started creating my teeny tiny TS world I was escaping in my mind...then I found this forum. You guys welcomed me in, took me by the hand and opened a huge new world in my kindle. I'd never believed much in on-line social media, virtual 'friends', but that's what you've become. If I'd known about 'friending' I'd have 'friended' most of you...may still do while I can! The amount of help, information, encouragement, and entertainment from you all was so refreshing, familiarity came with reading you until I had to participate...albeit pretty awkwardly! Thank You so much for Everything! Thank You to Bess, Dread, Nevada, and Anna, it's been a great forum, Loved it...this is such a shame. Also, for your support. I don't belong to f/b, it would be great to see you around? Finally, I'll add that the 'Unofficial Township Forum' is forming well, they're doing a great job, (Thanks for providing links Dread/Anna) join to continue, or maybe pay us a visit? My last post/story for this thread, maybe on this forum.. Thanks for being there, hasta la vista...stay safe..and Farewell.

Dear Forum, thank you for being the home for many of us.
Thank you Anna for given us some more time before this place becomes 'read only'.
And thank you Dreadnought for keep doing what you're doing in last period even with the knowledge of a soon closing door.
Thank you DD, Charlie and all others who, since the Closing news, in recent months persisted here to help fellow members and players who had just discovered this forum.
Thank you friends for just being your wonderful self.

A door is closing, new doors will open.
We meet again somehow someway

I will miss this forum too, but it has been nice to see so many familiar names migrating to the new one.

We can rebuild the sharing and camaraderie there, but the one thing we can't replace is the ability some mods had here to contact Playrix and get help for desperate people whose games were lost or stuck in Support limbo. Seeing people's games restored always made me happy.

I will miss the forum too. After 6 years of daily visits and close to 10,000 posts I see a big void coming. I will see some of you on the other forum if I can adapt. I have a hard time finding my bearings there.

Keep having fun with Township everyone...

For all you old American Football fans, I thought this would be appropriate for the last day of the active forum.

Turn off the lights.....

Farewell my Friends, and everyone else who helped make this forum a place to feel at home.
All those members that were here almost daily to help other players, too many to mention everyone, but you know who you are.
Dreadnought for being our voice of reason, and sticking with us to the end,
Anna, for being our link to Playrix,
I cannot thank you all enough. Your sharing of knowledge has given so many a solution they couldn’t find.

I feel like I am leaving a home after a very long time that is filled with many happy memories and moving to a new home to build new ones.
So with a small tear in my eye, I glance back as I turn out the last light, close the door and walk down the path.
I will miss the old place so much, but new horizons and adventures await.
Goodnight everyone, will hopefully see you at the new home.

I tried to go out in style and get banned( mentioned 5 other games in one post).
Some moderator did their job and deleted it.

See you in Downton's place,
Kind regards,
Cobalt

Good bye old forums! You weren't always fair to me, but you've been a great resource!
Your legacy lives on in the unofficial forums, and I hope it will continue for longer than you were allowed.


Thank-you Cobalt for starting this thread, the other thread just really isn't a proper burial place. Praying everything goes well for you with your heart treatments.

Feel free to ask for help if you need it! Me and the other members will be happy to help whereever and whenever we can! ^_^

Thanks, everyone, and don't get lost on your way
to meeting us elsewhere. :)

I would sign the thank you posts here, and also this one - so true.

same here, Graylady, but we'll keep trying, ok!? PLS, do as Johnalex suggested and ask everything you want or need there - we'd miss you too much, if you allow yourself just to relax in your garden instead of trying it out there, till it works. On se voit là-bas, bitte http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/hug/hugging.gif:huggs: :)

And don't panic! 😉

So, a sad and final farewell to the Forum. I learned so much from and with you all, and made friends I hope I'll take with me long into the future. Thanks to Dread, Nevada and Anna, as well as all the other Mods and Members too.

What a brilliant time we had! Hope to see y'all out there in the wild sometime.
Xoxo

I read it and was already afraid that it would not come through the balancing committee.
If you have saved it, please consult the other side ...

To appreciate your commitment, I dusted off your initiative.

Now is the time ...

So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight

Parting is such sweet sorry.

Good night Mrs. Calabash wherever you are.
