I Have Wondered Why No One Ever Did This . . .
Why a special group wasn't formed in the area where Crochet Talk has specialized little communities is surprising to me.
We lost a lot of members who just drifted away because they wanted to come here and talk about crocheting and meet others with the same interests.
This happened so gradually that perhaps no one really noticed.
The solution to keeping members and keeping this as a vibrant crochet and knitting group could have been for someone to form a specialized group and site and call it THE CHAPEL. A place where we could check each day to see if any members were in need of spiritual support and prayers. A place to keep track of the progress of those who were on sick lists, etc.
Instead all this activity was spread all over Crochet Talk and dominated everything. And members dropped out. NOT because they were offended or anything like that but because they couldn't get the attention they were seeking for crocheting problems and/or interests.
I watched this all happening and it was sad to watch what was beginning to look like the slide down into obscurity for what had been a great community!
It's not too late to reverse and grow this community back into a fun and happy place to be! I would start THE CHAPEL or any other suitable name but I simply can not take on any more than I'm doing now. My life is full and I would love to see Crochet Talk restored to it's former self.
Thanks for your time to read this.
where is everyone gone to
I haven't been on CT in months and was just wondering what has happened. I have not received an email in ages and when I signed in I was shocked to see it so empty. I really enjoyed this forum and the different sections. The Chapel is a great idea but was working the way it was. I noticed that people joined and asked a question and never responded when the question was answered. Hope this site gets back to what it was.
