I'm not sure why Scribd management changed it, but I think they probably weren't making money or at least not as much as they wanted. I've no idea how successful the "new Scribd" is, and I have wondered. Anyway, I will always value the people I met. Sorry they lost your writing. They made some mistakes with mine as well, and I think almost everyone had one problem or another. It was good while it lasted!Mary Thurman Yuhashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861598646625495814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645786517254622654.post-50510769308625512812013-03-19T05:35:40.433-07:002013-03-19T05:35:40.433-07:00Carla -

The best to be said at this point is worth repeating: the strength of its beginnings is inherent in the bond we all formed in its original community. I felt so supported there at one time - and am delighted we were lucky enough to get the best it had to offer at the time and hold on to it.<br /><br />Don't Ya Knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895069537400861861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645786517254622654.post-70774851177424324032013-03-13T05:36:57.279-07:002013-03-13T05:36:57.279-07:00I found your great blog through the WLC Blog Follo...I found your great blog through the WLC Blog Follows on the World Literary Cafe!

Scribd was a great place to post work and enjoy a strong sense of community with other writers. But, for whatever reasons, Scribd has changed. Now there isn't even a feature where one can leave comments and that's a pretty clear way of saying they don't care what Scribd members think. I treasure my ongoing friendships with Scribd writers and that is something that will not change.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your kind comments about my work and for plugging my memoir.Mary Barbara Alfarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960831508817158163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645786517254622654.post-15059561568842518802013-03-08T16:48:12.515-08:002013-03-08T16:48:12.515-08:00You cannot imagine how much work each of my collec...You cannot imagine how much work each of my collections took!
