You all deserve a huge THANK YOU -- and, you are getting one from me!! Along with a few million people, I LOVE THE GAME!! Thank you all again for all of your work, energy and efficiency.

Totally agree.
It cannot have been easy to have been forced off a platform where this game was built and was totally integrated.
Most people who use the internet have ZERO idea of its complexity. When I was in college in Pittsburgh back in the 1980s, I dated a programmer who went to Carnegie Mellon and is fluent in BASIC. I cannot forget that at its core, the internet is all 0s and 1s. My ex became a C programmer when it was a new thing. I used to help him with his work, and it was fascinating for me. I'm a historian, so I don't forget these things!
Anyway, I read some of the complaints that you all get (I often hold jobs in customer service, so I'm interested in that kind of stuff), and some of the petty annoyances that make people threaten to close their game accounts are so unfair to you all! For instance, I also had to re-enter my login info a few times. So what? I have bigger problems, and if that's your worst problem in life, can we trade places? I like to make suggestions about the game, but y'all can take them or not. I like to think long-term (again, historian, time is fluid for me), so I just brainstorm on how to make the game play better in the long run.
In the meantime, please know that some of us DO notice how SMOOTHLY the transition has gone! Yes, there have been a FEW hiccups, BARELY noticeable. Compared to the b.s. you were handed by FB, bravo for how well we've switched over and not lost one iota of data! On top of that, larger playing screen, more neighbors, many more buddies, much easier to add both, don't gotta know about their whole lives, etc. Facebook handed y'all lemons, and you made a Lemon Chiffon Pie.
