Welcome
Hi, everyone, and welcome to the CoS Forums Students (unofficial) LiveJournal account! I decided to set up this off-site 'social group' as a sort of refugee page for CoS members, with the forums closing on Jan. 31, 2014. I don't intend this community to be used much as a discussion group or replacement for the forums, but rather a place for everyone to keep in contact with members from CoS. There are many users with whom I've become friends during my 8.5 years on the forums, and there are many more of you whom I know just from posts and casual interactions. I think it's a shame to let those informal connections die, so I would love if we can keep some level of membership alive here on this community.
I feel that a LiveJournal community is the best way to accomplish this sort of 'social network,' since it doesn't require such a personal commitment like Facebook, etc. If anyone has suggestions for a better method of keeping in touch, feel free. Again, this is designed to keep friendships and acquaintances alive, rather than letting them die with the closing of the forums. This community can allow everyone to get to know each other better on perhaps more personal levels - to the extent you feel comfortable.
I hope we can find a use for this sort of community. I've cherished my 8.5 years of interaction with so many of you, and I look forward to continuing those relationships for a long time to come. I know I'm not the best member to be coordinating such an effort, of course (looking back, I'm amazed at how impersonal I've been!), but I hope some of you can help with the effort of bringing members back to this group.
Cheers,
MrSleepyHead (Nick)
