Hey everyone,
Yes, it's midterms time. Yes, it's Halloween time. Yes, I have work all the time. Yes, I'm overwhelmed. Yes, it gets worse.
Yesterday I was woken up by the police banging on my door. I was informed that my 18yr old next door neighbor who has been a brother to me for 15 years died. So now I'm dealing with that and trying to succeed in work, and struggling with already being behind in school, and life is definitely a wreck right now. So if I'm not here a ton, that's why. However, it looks like none of you are really here anymore either, so I don't know what to do. I don't want the site to die, but I don't want to force people to be here either.
-Nichole

Bugger - I'm sorry I thought I had left a note on here saying that I would be away for a week and a half, because I had 6 essays due in one week. Apparently I did not, and now I come back...
I am so sorry to hear that, Nic. That's really bad - and I know I can't really say I know how it feels, but...I know how it feels. I don't want the site to die again either, so if you want me to I can keep an eye on things for a bit - I'll send out emails or something to let people know what's going on with you if they havn't been on the site in a week or so. I'll do advertising things, I'll do what I normally do - and anything else you want me to get done, just let me know. But you - you take a couple weeks hiatus, eh? Life gets in everyone's way.
But if you'd rather close the site for now, we could do that too. It's whatever you want girl - I'm so sorry I disappeared before I thought I'd posted something...and I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you.
Don't worry about not leaving a note, I figured everyone was busy with school anyway.
Thank you for your support. I don't want to close the site. I'd like to see it active and running well. We'll close the activity check on Wednesday, do damage control on Thursday and regroup, yeah? I may not be on all the time, but really, who is?
Thank you thank you, you are an angel.

Hon, if you need to temporarily pause or shut down the site, no one will fault you for it. I'll gladly come back. Things are pretty crazy for everyone right now (I'm getting my ass kicked by new meds, ohgodohgodohgod).
Take care of yourself above all others. My deepest sympathies. If you ever need to talk, I am unfortunately very well versed in grief, and you can PM me for my phone number or email. Much love.

Thanks love.
I don't want to shut down the site. I'd like to see it active again, even though yeah, life is crazy busy, it's a good escape.

If you're able to get on this weekend - we'll talk about some things we can do, okay - and message me - I'll give you my email and such, maybe that'll be easier to catch up on things, ay?

I'm going to start a thread in the Staff section for us to keep up an ongoing chat about site stuff. Thanks Kit.
Thanks Ed Taco, love, for your support.
I just spent a bit of time cleaning up the site and it makes me feel better to be doing stuff around here, so don't worry, the site isn't shutting down, in fact, I'm hoping we can make it more active.

Hey Nichole, Sorry for being late on this. I hope you're alright, and I'm always here to talk if you need me.
As for site activity I would suggest revamping it. Just delete all of the posts and inactive characters to make it look like the site is just new. We could maybe change the layout to something lighter, because I know some people tend to want to stay away from dark looking sites because they can be harder to navigate. Just throwing ideas around <3

Hey! So...meeting on the weekends didn't work at all...All Good points.
I was going to suggest something about the darkness too...I know even I have a problem seeing the bottom of things on this site. And I think we are going to go through and getting rid of some of the old people who havn't been only. Let's see what happens, shall we?

A revamp would be good so that we can open up all of the canon characters who are not claimed anymore. [/size]

I went through and archived old threads and characters, and freed up canons that weren't active. We'll work on revamps soon. Thanks all. ♥
