Just like to thank you personally for your work as possibly the last of the Forum Hosts. 
A big thank you for locking the Announcement Thread. Other that the few posts by Noel it was 58 pages of bickering and pointless debate. 
Some of the debaters are usually helpful people but it serves no purpose when threads turn into what that one did. 
 
People please take the time to seek out and read what Noel has posted. It's like his  comments get ignored and if you did read them there would not be the 80% of what's being said and the speculation and arguing happening here. Here is a short list of things I've gleaned form what Noel has said. 
 
1- Sonar will work for a long time yet sans updates or bug fixes for now. Just like the old day of once a year releases.  
2- There is no plan to shut down the servers so activation is not an issue. Relax. 
3- There is still a crew working at Boston who can help you on a limited basis. Be Patient. 
4- Gibson has not tossed Cakewalk in the dust bin. As Noel has said repeatedly, he cannot talk about this so please stop speculating, but something IS happening. So Don't Panic. 
5- There is no plan to kill this forum. So please stick around and lets focus on helping each other use Sonar
 
 

Smooching sound......  :-)

+1,  nicely said.

Amen. Geez people, go make some music or something. I've almost quit coming here because of all the whining. I don't know about everyone else's situation, but my software apparently didn't hear the announcement. It works like it always did. Go figure.

There are other Hosts still around, we all do our bit.  We all thank you.
 
We left "that thread" open to provide a place for folk to express their opinion without filling up the forum with thread after thread after thread...   maybe we should have closed it sooner...
 
All we ask is to please make our "job" easy by thinking before you post.  The forum has to remain useful to stay alive.
 
If in doubt, go make some music  

Well said Johnny.
 
And thanks to Karyn (and all the other hosts) who are attempting to ease us through what for some is a difficult time

Ditto that. Thanks Karyn and other Forum hosts. Thanks too Johnny V for urging everyone to get back on track with Sonar questions.

+1  Have faith and be well, friends.  My SONAR still works fine and the sky is not falling, despite alerts to the contrary we all received here in Hawaii Saturday.  I slept in and missed it because:
 
I WAS UP UNTIL 3 A.M. WORKING ON A GREAT SONG IN SONAR! 

Thank you for this headup. And another big thanks to the forum hosts for all their work and patience.
Also my Sonar still is working well. It seems the ship will not sink as fast.
