Please post messages for Rah here. #LipQuiverSniff#
I'll start.
This news breaks my heart. If there is anyone who deserves better, it's Rah.
Rah, I commend you for making this difficult decision and standing up for yourself. You set such a high standard for us all to strive to achieve with MiG Central. You were our lifeline during Rockstar. You were our introduction to the world of MiG. You patiently endured my mistakes as a novice in the world of fan sites and fan forums and for this I thank you. I'm proud to share a birthday with you and hope to be able to always call you my friend.
You'll always be welcome here should you ever have the desire to come visit.
You/MiG Central will be missed. #cryingsmilie#

I will be the first to add: I will always cherish what MiG Central was. I totally got sucked into it after I first found it (I think it was through a link posted by Haz at MiG's site that was run by Jonas). It was such a different site from all the usual fansites, it had a real "personality" to it, and I learned so much about MiG's journey from past to present. Rah, Haz, the moderating princesses, and the rest of the members put up with so much from the big influx of all the new MiG fans, and did so with such class and patience. I will forever be in their debt for all they have done for me, not only as a MiGfan but as myself. I am not sure I will ever take the link out of my favs, along with my link to MN and my nephew's email addy. They are like keepsakes, and I feel like if I keep them then a part of them will always be around.

Rah, most of us here at TM were fans because we saw a bright young talent on Rockstar INXS. You however preceded the RS and WWRY days. Your site is the one with the history and the how did he get here from there site. I was really never a regular poster because of time limitations but everytime I stopped by I was treated with respect and friendliness. When my daughter moved to Australia I pm'd you for gift suggestions fo something to make her new life in her new home special and you were so kind to try to help me. I feel like you always spoke straight about your feelings. I will miss MiGCentral and am sorry that things have come to this that you are shutting down the site. You are a first class lady all the way(with a bawdy sense of humor always of course) Hope you stop by here some times In case you don't, I hope the future holds all good things for you and wish you the best always #bearhug# Mary Beth

Rah, I'm so sorry to hear about MiG Central closing. Three years ago, I knew nothing about fan forums. After seeing MiG on RS:I and wanting to learn more about him, I came across MiG Central and the wealth of MiG info that you had assembled there. I lurked there for a month or so, but then I realized I had to join. You and everyone there were so fun and friendly, and I wanted to get to know you all! Then somehow I got involved in that RS:I screencapping frenzy. ;D But we all sure had a lot of fun with that and any MiG pics we could get our hands on. THANK YOU for all you did to make MiG Central a special place, and for welcoming all the new MiG fans after RS:I. MC will certainly be missed. I wish you the best! We'd love to see you stop by here and visit whenever you can! #blowingkiss# Joyce

Rah-
I'm going to steal this little piece from Joyce's post above becauase it says exactly what I want to say: "THANK YOU for all you did to make MiG Central a special place, and for welcoming all the new MiG fans after RS:I. MC will certainly be missed. I wish you the best! We'd love to see you stop by here and visit whenever you can!"
I want to echo the "stop by here and visit whenever you can" because I really enjoyed your comments when I would visit MC. It is with a heavy heart that I realize that MC is/will be no more in just a few short days and will be missed terribly.
Thanks you for the time you spent making MC a cool site to visit to find things on MiG that no one else had.
Take care
Wanda

Thank you girls, it really means a lot, even though it's a tad embarrassing!
It's hard to believe that 8 years of web work and 13 years of friendship have ended like this, but c'est la vie and onwards and upwards. Nancy has done done a fabulous job here with TM and I know that you will keep the TM spirit alive for a long while yet! I'm going to have a ginger beer with my dinner tonight and it'll be in honour of the remaining "mainstream" fansite and all the girls who make it what it is.
Cheers!

I'm not sure what happened to it, but I echo your sentiments. The site meant a great deal to me to and I'm sad to see it go. Hope you are doing well though, it's nice to see you are still down here moderating. And Rah, if you are down here. Kudos to you for all the hard work on MigCentral, I'm so sorry that it's gone. Take care all, Lesley

Thanks 2ton and Ange. Can someone fill me in on what happened to MigCentral? (By pm if necessary). There doesn't seem to be any explanation anywhere, other than there was a problem with spam. Surely there is a way to fix things to weed out spammers? Ironically I still have the MC banner in my signature on this site - been there 3 years. I hope Rah was able to save stuff from the site, there was a lot of history there!

Hope you and your family have been well. There has been a lot of stuff happening in the MiG world in the past few months. It's hard to know where to begin. I'll send you a PM to catch you up on some of the details... Hope you can come by and post here more often!
