A message from Buck Creacy on behalf of Professional Storytellers: Professional Storyteller website and forum disbanding

Hello Everyone

As of today, Professional Storyteller is 2,391 members strong and it is actually the largest gathering of storytellers in the world.  Since April of 2012 I have been happily paying the bills to this service to the tune of $2395.20.  Early on, I naively placed a Donate button on the home page.  Just as naively believing that others would want to support Thinking that surely someone would help me a little.  But to date, there have been no donations.  I have retired and am no longer making $120,000 a year and thanks to the Covid-19; the world is shut down and devastating my plans.  No one is able to go out and tell, so... No one has any money for donations to keep PS afloat.  

Therefore this month will be the last month, If you have pictures or videos or stories that you want to keep.  Please download them back to your hard drive.

I want to especially thank Lois Sprengnether Keel for her amazingly kind support during this entire 8 year time.   Yes, I could make this a paid membership.  The whole idea was to keep it as open to our kind as possible.  Thank you LOiS... I enjoyed being your "boss"  You deserve some kind of metal or plaque or trophy for the lion share of work you performed for all of us.

This is the very last message you will receive from me through Professional Storyteller.  My  mind is made up. I cannot continue with this exercise in vanity.  I promised Dianne Del Las Casas that I would take care of this group.  But it is impossible for me to continue to carry on.  You have my blessings and best wishes for all of your bright futures.

I am certain that this news will cause some heartburn.  Please feel free to write me at doncreacy@gmail.com

The end of this billing cycle will be the end of professional storyteller. ning.com
