HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ORLANDO!

The incomparable molokai has produced a beautiful final banner for us. Nine Orlandos!

Yes, I'm afraid we did have to cull the board in order to be able to keep it going as long as we have. The database was enormous. All the threads that relate directly to Orlando's career are still there, but a lot of the general chat had to go. The problem with the old artwork threads was that the pictures were hosted by the poster (at places such as photobucket) and 80% of the links no longer worked. There were pages and pages of little red xs! However, I'm sure that you aren't the only one who would enjoy a trip down wallpaper lane, so I've started a thread asking people to post their favourites. I'm sure that lots of people will still have a stash on their computers.

Can you believe that it is 15 years since a certain pointy eared elf first bounded gracefully onto our screens? So much has happened at ka-Bloom since then. - Conventions in Chicago, Norfolk, Seattle and Boston - CEOKs - Birthday projects - Christmas present exchanges - Meetups at premieres - Naughty nights at the Knight Club - Strange goings on in the Gutter - Friendships blossoming However, the online world has moved on. While there is still huge interest in Orlando’s career, this now mainly exists on the newer forms of social media. Rene (Sunstar) has worked tirelessly for the past 6 years bringing us all the latest news, and I know that you will all agree that she has done an amazing job. However, she and I now feel that the amount of work involved is no longer justified as the audience has diminished. I am hugely proud of what Jan, all her staff and all the members have created here. Thanks to the generosity of our members we will be able to continue paying for hosting and can leave the board and gallerie online as a read-only resource. However, new posting will cease at the end of January. Let’s not be sad that it’s over but happy that it happened. The Knight Club will be open from now until the end of January, and I invite you all to pop in, help yourself to a drink from behind the bar and tell us all your favourite memories from your time at ka-Bloom. Thank you all. It’s been a blast. Judi (Jupiter) x x

Gosh, is it December already? I thought I'd recycle one of the lovely banners from the ka-Bloom archives. Merry Christmas.
