Hi Eliza yes indeed

Natasha

I was born on Friday, 13th 😁😁😁

Vladimir

It would be funny if I wasn't the person with the mask today. Thanks Stan :)

Petra

Vladimir Was it your job to turn it off? It vanished at 10 am UTC and I think I managed to post the last ever post just before. :(

Vladimir

Petra Well it's an unpleasant surprise that the switch was pulled earlier then expected!

I'm happy your is one of the final posts though.

Since there will be a lot of users unaware of what just happened and without a way to connect with others, or access previously available content, I'd like to ask everyone to consider sharing the link to this forum in your own channels.

Last post ever was this. Ravi had last edit right after this.

What did you post, Petra?

It’s so sad that I didn’t even see it today before it shutdown.

Sein

Vladimir Hi thanks Vlad, yes I just saw that - the community forum gone now

Sein

Vladimir So glad I made it to this forum, :)

Sein

Vladimir I have to say in fairness, it's looking fairly slick and comprehensive over at the support.upwork.com space.

Vladimir

For annals of history.

Petra

Vladimir LOL, you must admit that if you saw the profile, I was showing restraint quite masterfully there. (Freelance "writer" in an Africa country, overview in completely broken English but fluent in Portuguese Sign Language apparently), a bargain at $50 an hour.

Sein

Petra LOL, I bet !

Mark

Petra Again, it is such a boss Petra move to be Petra'ing up until the last second on a forum that banned you for years...

Petra I know my situation is somewhat unique, but I never had a single portfolio item in the ₈ years I used Upwork.

@Vladimir, now that the official forum has closed, will you hang around this one on a voluntary basis? BTW, thanks for everything.

Vladimir

elisa Hey Elisa, yes. I fully support this forum as a retreat for all ex-Community members and other freelancers. We'll also try to build on what was the Upwork Community. Participation on my end is on a volunteer basis.

It's fun that we're starting fresh and hope we all find our place, purpose and benefit in this forum.

Vladimir

Sein Thanks! Djole is a magician and Stan and Morgan are also behind the scene.

The core value are the members and the conversations, so we're already at a good starting point.

Natasha

Mallclerks That was me ))))

Thanks to Stan, I was able to download all my messages and images just before the plug was pulled.

And, BTW, 13 is my lucky number.

Petra

Natasha Congrats :D
