What is on my mind is CP'ing. :-/ I want to thank Row and Hannah and anyone else that is trying to create a foothold for us in the CP fandom in the wake of the sudden vanishing of the CP'ing forum. There really are no words to describe my disappointment, and I know a lot of you share the same sentiment. It was such a comprehensive site that hosted so much information that it's impossible to think about it all being gone, if that's the case. With the new album right around the corner, it is very sad to find the impressive gathering of fans on the site suddenly cast out in all directions with no information or explanations. please put out the word to anyone that is wanting/needing their fix to register and join us. It was so great to log onto CP'ing and find out the latest news, see new pics, hear rumors, learn concert dates, talk to friends, or whatever your pleasure, and have it at our fingertips. It would be nice to try to capture at least some of that here. -Post! We not only found out information on CP'ing, but we made friends. We will keep each other company as we wait on hopeful information.

Yeah, I kinda just creeped on here because honestly I don't really have anywhere else to go. Haven't been able to get a hold of a vast majority of Lounge people :/
I'm a bit concerned that this is something a little more serious than past shut-downs, due to the fact that we've had total silence for about a week on every single front - Facebook, Twitter, main site included. I can't say I'm too terribly surprised though, given that this seems to be an Ian decision so far. Disappointed? Hell yeah, I would have thought better. I just hope it's not that something has gone awry in their personal lives which would be understandable
Who knows, maybe we'll hear nothing for another week and then there'll be some sort of message, or business will go back to usual. But it's worrying to me.
I JUst HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK WAAAAAA ;-; who do i have to pick on now. maybe i'll have to resort to picking on myself. i smell

Welcome Cobalt EVERYONE is welcome here. We don't have a 'Lounge' yet. But I am happy to provide one if anyone would like it. Feel free to start any threads you want to. I'm in a strange situation here. Having been a moderator on the forum, I do feel a lot of loyalty towards Coldplaying.com, and I still go there several times a day, just in case. None of the mods have heard anything, well none that I am in contact with. Three of them are here. We have emailed Ian, but so far no luck. I am kind of hoping it's a temporary thing, maybe he just needs a break? I don't know. I guess we all have to wait and see. In the meantime PLEASE make yourselves at home, there is nothing you can do in here that is wrong.. well.. not much.. LOL. so feel free to start threads, send me suggestions, whatever makes you happy here.

Thank you Sharon! At first I thought Ian had pushed the wrong button or was still moderating or something, but now that it has been closed for a week and the moderators also don't know what happened, it's looking quite serious :( I hope we get some kind of info soon. I just can't believe it would be gone forever. It was such a great community that meant so much to me. I met people on there who are now very good friends, although they live on the other side of the planet. (I find it so horrible to say "was" and "meant" ugh :( ) The best day of my life happened thanks to that website... I still refresh the forum every 2 hours or so hoping it has returned :\ It's clear we're not the only ones missing it and suffering from withdrawals, I made a messageboard too: cpingwhereareyou.boards.net/ so register and say hi I guess, the more the merrier! edit: I just checked coldplaying's facebook for the 4000000th time this week and Stephen posted this: "We'll make an announcement in due course. For now the site is frozen and the forum closed. Hopefully not an ending, just a new chapter. S"

Oh wow! THANK YOU Hannah. That is excellent news. I am happy we can keep the people together in the meantime. ANYONE feel free to post on Hannah's board too. We need to keep the feedback and information going. Anyone who knows anyone from Coldplaying who are out there lost and alone, tell them where we are. The more the merrier. Also welcome here. Here is the post!

It's excellent that they gave us information indeed, but the message itself doesn't look that excellent to me, it's... I don't know Thank you for creating this board, Row

Thanks girls. Yay a panda. Just what I need It's been a day.. LOL.. and that's awfully cute. Yes its a pretty .cryptic message. Not really good news.. not actually BAD news, but it's is a contact. It's better than blankness. I just posted on your board btw that we need to keep the information flowing between both sites. If you come across ANY info, and that includes stuff about band members..(you know we need our Chris stuff here.. ) then please do come over and post. The same goes. We will share anything we find. Hi

Hi! Welcome everyone. It's great to see some dialogue, and it's great to see CP'ers slowly trying to find their way to reconnect in some way. I agree, CP'ing made having the information so easy. As for the message from Stephen, it's mysterious and doesn't really say anything, BUT it's a message and a whole lot more than we have had. So, fingers crossed that Ian and company are okay and fingers crossed that CP'ing can find its way back...and soon. In the meantime, we are on the same team, so I hope we can keep the information flowing! We are learning how to search. LOL
