Hi - former lurker on the DG rose forum here.
I, too, received the same notice a few weeks ago as my renewal was due the beginning of June. The circus that ensued at the end of May helped make my decision not to renew. I had simply had enough.
I do miss certain aspects, mostly the folks there. But I don't have enough time to play there & here. So I chose here.
I am glad that others have stayed on - it's a great site that offers much. But I rarely used the other features, so it was easier for me to move on.
I must say I am thoroughly enjoying all that is here at this point, and look forward to much more. I have no doubts that this forum will achieve excellence, due to its contributors.
Thanks for all your energy & efforts!
