Message Board Closure Notice

Hi everyone. After discussing things with Em and Hannah, we've mutually come to the decision to close this board on December 9 due to the lack of posts and also due to the lack of responses on the thread they started about the future of this board.

We encourage you to start discussion topics about Chuck on the Television Forum here at Fan Forum after this board has closed, so you can continue to discuss your favorite television show here.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry it has come to this. Chuck is one of the first TV shows that I really got hooked in, back when I was younger and just started to really get into watching a lot of television.

From the first episode, I knew I would love it because it had a lot of heart, and it's a story about love between, not just two people, but families, and throughout the years, it stayed true to that message.

It really saddens me that it has come to this, and I'm sorry that I myself didn't have enough energy anymore to be devoted to this board and keep it alive longer, but with not a lot of visitors, it really got frustrating that I was just conversing with my co-mod in a lot of topics just to make sure this survived.

I hope you understand our decision. If there was a way to keep this up, we would have loved to explore that option, but sadly, no one else expressed interest in replacing either Em and I should we step down so we had no choice but to request for closure.

Thank you for making this board fun. It's my home in , and I will always remember the random conversations we had in the Chuck/Sarah thread that will go on for pages and we look back and don't even know how we got that far on one topic. Then there's the weirder threads like Shaw/Sarah that somehow got a lot of activity for a while, and basically, the Chuck fandom really sometimes surprises me.

I will also miss the talented people who post in this board. We had a lot of members who made fabulous music videos and shared them with us, and I've never really watched fan videos before until they posted, but man, they were all gorgeous. There was also people who made a lot of beautiful graphics.. I'm sorry we never quite finished the CS thread remodelling...

I've made a lot of friends here, and I hope to see you guys around . Em, I know I will see you in Twitter and tumblr , Rick, I hope to still see you in WoW.

But, don't be a stranger you guys! I'm always on twitter, and also some of the time in tumblr, and you can always PM me here, but I wish everyone the best and again, I'm very sorry that we have to close the board.






Hannah

I"m always sorry to see a board close. I know it must have been a difficult decision to admit that a thread at the Television board might serve the fans better than an entire board. Thanks Em & Hannah for the time and effort you dedicated to this board.

Wow.

What to say. This in no means came as an easy choice for both Hannah and myself. But it seemed like the best thing to do for the board. We wanted to go out on our own terms then get shut down. Ironic really, when you think about Chuck. We were the little show that could.

This place was where I really fell in love with this show. I had watched it from episode one, and I knew that it would be in my top three shows. But, this place is where a became a member of the fandom. I was feeding my habit as a spoiler addict, when I stumbled across FF. Saw it had a Chuck board, and began lurking.

The regular posters we had back then seemed like a tight knit bunch of folk, and I was nervous to just jump in, but I did, and it became my online home. I would finish Uni, and the first thing I would do is log into FF and check the board. And this is why this is such a hard decision. Chuck was always kept alive by its online fandom, and it saddens me that we couldnt do the same for this place. But as Hannah said, when its just us 2 in the majority of threads, its gets hard to keep it up. We would have loved to keep this place going, but there just wasn't enough traffic to keep it going.

I'll miss all the talented people that made the fandom such an attractive place... And that mythical 300th celebration thread that never quite came around.

I'm glad I got the chance to met so many great people through this place. And that'll be what I miss most. But, I to am always on twitter and on tumblr to. So, dont be a stranger at all. And who knows with a little more time maybe i'll join WoW.

Thank you everyone over the years who have made this place. All the past mods and posters. We'll miss you. But I'll definitly start back up a Chuck thread at the television board, and the CS thread at the couples board. So hopefully i'll see some of you over there.

Em.

Definitely! We still need to run some dungeons together sometime.

Say, is there a WoW board somewhere that you belong to? Does :FF: have any game boards?

Heh, that's exactly how I found this board too.

And it became a real home on the web for me - even after I swore off spoilers. I will definitely miss stopping by here every day.

It's sad to see the board close, but I understand. And I again want to thank both Emily and Hannah for the great job they did as mods and for keeping the board alive as long as they did.

Hope to see everyone around on other boards.
