Good morning, everyone!I'm at a turning point. For several reasons, I am contemplating either turning this group over to someone else (as well as the other two I moderate), or closing the group all together.
My main source of aggravation right now is the never-ending, disruptive issues we continue to see with this website. I'm not going to get into any type of argument or negative bashing, or anything like that...but let me say this: this website - this company - Goodreads - is owned by Amazon. The resources are there to make this website work properly, yet we continue to have very disruptive things going on. One day I might be able to log in and post, the next day...maybe not.
You all may be aware, I recently went through a health situation. I find that I do not have the time or the patience to wait for GR to do the right thing. I'm tired of dealing with the constant disruptions, as I'm sure we all are.
For those who might be interested in taking over the group, please send me an email here through GR.
If you have no preference as to whether the group remains or not, please post that below as well.
Thanks for your continued support over the years. I do appreciate all of you, and I hope we can get the right thing done here for the group :)
Welcome to the challenge, Frankie, Fly, Maven and Brenda.

I am so frustrated with GR right now, there is a very strong possibility I will either turn over the three groups I oversee or I will close them down all together, and then I will completely vacate GR personally.
I am so, so tired of all this mess, day after day, and I do not have time for it.
Okay gang...heads up!I have NO IDEA what the h3ll is going on with GR right now. The June monthly challenge posted three different times. I posted it ONCE.
If you signed up for this challenge, please go to the Original Post and sign up there.
I'll leave a message in the other two threads asking you to move your challenge as well, and then those threads will be locked. In a few days, after you've had time to move your challenge, those duplicate threads will be deleted.
Let me know if you have any questions :)
