We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful and especially healthy New Year. Thank you for your support over the last year especially and we hope to see you all on some of the other forums next year. Stay well.

This forum has been a part of our lives for a number of years. For me, it has been the first site I visit when I sign in every day. To say I will miss it doesn't describe how it will be not to be able to check in on the people I have come to think of as my friends and with whom I share something as personal as this chronic disease.

I want to thank the Administrtors for keeping it going for as long as possible. It is quite an undertaking to accept the responsibility of managing such a project. I want also to wish everyone well and hope our paths cross often in some of the other forums.

I echo thoughts above. It has been so helpful to me over the past several years. This past year has lost several long time COPD people from various Forums who really helped all of us. I don't see anyone picking up the void with as much enthusiasm and participation to help others. Now I see two managers have joined to help a new Forum.....which will need time to settle as their format is soooo different. That is why I so liked our Forum - simple, straight forward, threads easy to navigate.

So I too want to thank you all for your help in keeping the Forum going and to those who so willingly posted to help others of us.

Lastly, will the Forum still be available online to be able to search Q&A's? or will it totally go away ?

We don't think you will be able to go into the Archives. The internet itself never seems to let anything go but as for search we doubt it. They did offer to give us some free months but in the end the conclusion would be the same. Anyone can see that even with new subjects posted there was little discussion and this was something that was discussed by all of us including Luke and John way over a year ago and the conclusion was that this would be the last year unless it suddenly got active which it hasn't.

What is this new forum you mention and who is involved?

The COPD Foundation has set up a new forum called COPD360. You can see it from their home page www.COPDFoundation.org.

You should recognize some of the names ---
