Hi! They make me use my full name over on Upwork, which I hate, because prospective clients call me by my middle name for some reason. My specialties are KDP formatting and editing (several types) and proofreading. I was on ODesk and Elance before they became Upwork and I sometimes wish they'd go back, lol!

Thanks, Vlad! Much appreciated.

Hello everyone. Thank you Mr Vladimir for the forum !

MariaT Thank you! Yes, I'm Deborah P ;) I have chosen a different username as I was annoyed that my comments in the Upwork forum popped up on google with my full name + surname. So I thought that this time I would go for something different ;)

Pat M.

Hi All! I see some familiar faces/names from Upwork. I've been on oDesk/Upwork for nearly 11 years now; "Pat M." Just popping in to check out the new forum and send kudos to those responsible. I also wanted to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" (my preference) and/or "Happy Holidays;" whichever each of you prefer!

Pat M. Hi Pat, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.

Debs1723

Pat M. Thank you and Merry Xmas!

Thank you for creating a community for us! It's so crazy they removed the forum. It was such a helpful resource especially for newbies.

Hi from Turkey 👋 I’m just starting my freelancing journey, and I’m here because it seems to be the only active and fresh forum available. Thank you creators and contributors.

I just saw the community closed today. I was just thinking what is Petra, Will, and Preston going to do now? Glad there is another place to congregate. Now, be nice everybody.

Preston has not posted in the community since 2023, and not worked on Upwork for a long time either. Whether that has anything to do with him being sued by a client I do not know.

I had not posted on the community since May 2022 either, except very briefly aduring the last few days.

Petra -I haven't been there in a long time either, except for popping in when things get slow. I've dropped in maybe once or twice in 2024. I got tired of too many people complaining about buying connects, and honestly have been too busy helping clients or growing my business.

What are your hopes and expectations how to tackle situation once people hop in here and visitors/users grow too large? From what I understood upwork closed theirs since it was hard to manage.

I'm sure the admins of this community will handle it if that happens. It works fine on reddit where the Upwor sub has over 90k members.

Whatever gave you that idea?
