Forum closure of 25/9/20 averted l A blip in an era l Reprieve 17/9/20

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/iss-pyaar-ko-kya-naam-doon/5176878/forum-will-be-closed-on-25th-september-2020-shifting-of-ffs

First off, let me clarify, as per moderators, we will still be able to read old posts and OSs here, but we won't be able to comment on them or make new posts anymore. They will be locked. FFs will be shifted to the new Fan Fiction forum.

The IPKKND forum was the reason I joined IF and it continues to be my first port of call on the site. It is saddening to know I won't be able to say anything here anymore. The virtual fumes from Khushi's kacchua chhap mosquito coil is reaching out to silence all of us here :(

For me, it truly is an end of an era. I have interacted with so many amazing, talented, creative, amusing, witty, fun, people here. Many of whom are part of my asli duniya now. I know most have moved on to pastures new, but this is still where so many pop back to when the strains of Rabba Ve increase the dhak dhaks and memories of a jodi nonpareil reaches out to grasp our hearts again.

I still see many new fans here, and for a show that first aired nearly a decade back, that is quite something isn't it?!

Right now, Arnav's Kya bolun ab is what I feel. Will be back in a while.

Love,

Ruchi

Edited to add:

@ssttuuuttii has begun a campaign to keep the forum open. Please do have a look and help.

The admins may have decided,

"Kuch discuss nahin karte hain"

But, I'm glad she's asking,

"Sab kuch yunhi khatam ho jaane dete hai?"

Edited 16 September 2020 - A Reprieve?

Thanks to the efforts and determination of so many members, It seems the admins and mods have agreed to reconsider their decision. But, this is dependant upon the activity and participation of everyone here. We need to engage beyond writing and commenting upon stories. Those they want shifted to the new fan fiction forum to garner more eyeballs there, to compete with platforms like Wattpad. In the words of SRK (well, nearly!),

"toh kya hua agar ArHi ke chehre ke sivah tumhe koi aur chehra dikhai nahi deta ... toh kya hua agar ASR and KKGSR ke naam ke sivah tumhe koi aur naam yaad nahi rehta ... toh kya hua agar tum inhe deewano ki tarah pyar karte ho ... toh kya hua ... pyar sab kuch toh nahi hota na..."

So, let's show our love for the forum and for our show and allow our imagination to run riot and relive our memories of a serial that has us still hooked nearly a decade on. Below is a link to a thread which has a number of helpful and useful suggestions to encourage greater participation. Once again, thanks to @ssttuuuttii for her immense efforts.

Omg, thats sad ya. Why are they closing this ? I understand its not active, but hey..people do visit the forum. We have got some of our writers back now. Atleast they should let the biggest forum on IF open for posts and comments as well.

Really disheartened to know that forum will be closed. 😢

This, kind of, is a happy place for me, and many IPKKND fans still I'm sure. We all have moved on in life but it's still somewhere to come back to from time to time to relieve the magical days of the show.

It's not much active, less traffic here these days. Not much controversial stuffs going on here. Kind of calm.

It'd be great if the mods can reconsider keeping this forum open still. 😔

Met some of the loveliest people here. Remember all the fun posts and the trolls. From defending Barun’s haircut to criticising Khushi’s outfits. Those were the days and nights.

Will miss the tfs and 😊

Really sad... It has been my go to forum whenever I have time.

This is such terrible news! :(

Chokri ASR out!

Pleaseeeee... can't we do something about this??

I'm crying already and I know I'm going to cry as hard when (/if) the forum closes down... as I did when IPKKND ended.

We have such a big fandom (even today, yes!) I'm sure if we get together and say something, we would be heard!

I'm not sure what and where to go about with this but I know there has to be a way out!

Time is little but can we all just gather and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!

Aise hi khatam ho jaane denge sab kuch? 😭

P.S. Anyone got any ideas? I'm remembering the petitions of those olden days... time to bring that back again?? Or simply keep on adding likes and comments in this thread / start a new thread and spread the word? Once we have a good number we can go to the admins about how many people are still coming on th eforum... might make them reconsider their decision. 🤔

ETA :

Made a separate thread for this

Its is sad indeed. Its always hard to say goodbye.

Bitter sweet is the feeling. This place has given so much, met the most wonderful people here who continue to be a part of my life. Oh well, it is 2020 after all, shouldn't surprise that the world as we know it is changing in so many big and little ways.
