yes

[wizzarts]

I would love to say "yes", but I don't know how to manage time at the moment. I miss the conversation we've had, so... maybe one day...

Yes. I'm just going through a less active period.

Yes. Tough time at the moment, but still writing.

Interested

[macetheace]

Consider me onboard.

[Kevin]

Apologies to a member. I know there was 12 who expressed an interest to keep going but I have accidentally deleted someone. It also seems that the clean out has only helped a bit!

[gavbrown]

I value this site and will pay to help keep it going. I see about 10 other people have said they want to stay on the site. Kevin, what would be the cost to pay to keep the site going? I suggest to those who find this site useful, let’s each give 10% of the cost.

I'd regret seeing this group disband. I'd venture that 98% of my successes were directly related to relationships that developed here. But all things pass I guess. As I recall this was a free site so money is probably not as much an issue as the value of time vs. public interest. It might be more expeditious to create an SOS group on Facebook. Of course not all here may be on Facebook. And though it has never come to light, maybe "SONS" of Sibelius could use a facelift - a name change that is more inclusive? I doubt that would increase interest. I will especially regret losing access to input from and conversations with members who have left the confines of this reality.

I have no intention of disbanding the forum Joe. I also have no intention of setting up a FaceBook page either!
Over the years the forum has ebbed and flowed with membership and comment but the stalwarts have remained and I feel duty bound to maintain it in its present form.
A facelift is a great idea though and ideas from the members would be seriously considered.

[Joseph]

its nice  to know we can all still be here. 

[ttw]

Good. I would hate to lose my contact here (even though it's been a bit passive at times.) I do not use Facebook and probably will not in the near future. (I don't like the platform and I consider it insecure as I do with most social media.)

A face lift would be fine.

There are few (maybe one other that I read) forums where people can discuss music and composing. I also hear here some nice stuff.
