Re: (...)
According to C2C - the forum is now offically shut down for good.
Had lots of fun, met so many great people,cried some tears over it, but now it's a thing of the past. RIP old Chef2Chef.
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

Sorry to see that go.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

How sad. It was such a great place back in the day. I learned so much there. It's there that I got my passion for cooking....and met so many wonderful and interesting characters.

That's sad! A friend of Bob's is the one who turned me on the C2C - for the recipes and I stayed for the forums. He never joined. I met so many of you there - found so much inspiration there, and all the tears and laughs will always be in my memories.
The last few times I checked the forum it was so painful . . . lots of issues.
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!

It took me while to realize it was not this forum that was closing. I thought the 2 was a typo as I never knew of the other one. Sorry for those of you that participated. A lot of us lost "friends" when the CI forum closed and had withdrawal symptoms. Most of us have reconnected, but there are still a few that are missing. Thanks goodness for Facebook, just found one of my favorite old CI buddies there today.
Hope all of you get to meet in other forums as well. I am so glad this one is not closing.

This just makes me sad - I was hopelessly addicted to that forum at one point when everything was alive and vibrant - so many interesting people that shared ideas and support. I learned so much from it, and like Daphne, developed my passion for food, not to mention met so many of you guys there. And it just broke my heart what it had disintegrated into the last few times I had logged on, I can't imagine how it must have felt for the people who were intimately involved in the process in the beginning - losing something you had nurtured for so long.
I so don't want this to happen to us here! I love the "island of compatibility" concept. I know I am old fashioned, but I can't quite wrap my mind around the Facebook thing, and am quite content with what we have going here, so I really don't ever want this to degenerate like C2C did.
RIP C2C, you contributed a lot to who I am now and what I am doing in my life - who would have thought a simple website could have had such a profound influence. I will be forever grateful for the people that I met through them and the information those people graciously shared. And the fact that a lot of them found a home here!
