Silent Midnight - Maintenance Mode Enabled

_{11-08-2010

• The people on this site never fail to surprise and inspire me to push just that bit more and it’s fair to say over the last few weeks (certainly the last month) I’ve never been more grateful. It’s been tough and the rollercoaster I’ve found myself on has been a tricky one to cope with but for the most part I’ve received nothing but support in different ways. I’m still not going into very much detail about it not because I don’t trust any of you but sometimes I feel are best reserved for those I trust most of all. I apologise for the lack of attention I’ve given crossed wands but for the last two or so weeks I’ve tried my very best to get around to replying to threads/admin work etc and spending physically as much time as I can on here while balancing hospital trips/real life and I hope I haven’t let any of you down but, like I said, it’s been tough for me. I had plans for more events and what have you but up until now I haven’t really had the spare time between things to sit down and think about it much but I don’t really want to linger on.

First and foremost and this is extremely fucking overdue I’d like to congratulate Corza and Javvy again for making the admin team on here. It really wasn’t that hard of a choice for me or, if Kerby’ll let me, him either and we felt that they were both perfect for the roles. We adore them and we didn’t think anyone else would disagree over the decision. Both had shown extreme dedication to the site and personally, I’d happily leave it to them and to Kerby and be completely fine with it. Secondly, with regards to staff, most of you will have already noticed the departure of Trav. The details, if you don’t know already, are disclosed for personal reasons but we wish her all the best in whatever endeavours she does both online and offline.

Now to directly follow that, seeing as she played the up most important role on this site, we’d like to say this: the site won’t be closing. The plot will change and we’re very much tossing the idea of an open ended plot around meaning that there won’t be a plot for you to work around it’ll be us, our characters and whatever plots you have. It’ll be bliss, won’t it? I agree but when we decide we’ll talk to everyone about it in turn and see about how you feel. I know it’s a huge change and most of you joined for the plot but, like we said before when she left, it wouldn’t be fair to open the role to someone else and would be hugely disrespectful but at least it’s less doom and gloom, right?

Skin wise. I haven’t talked about this in a very long time but normally I’d have been working on a new one by now but I don’t think we really need to until at least October in which case I’ll probably start working on something at the end of next month just to make sure I leave plenty of time to be completely happy with it of course, in the meantime, if things change I’ll certainly set to work on it. I’m going to try and do something a bit different but up until now I’ve never received a bad comment about the skin so, I’m not sure but if I can I will since the first light skin that went on here last November was liked.

Also, someone mentioned the play list on here. Guys, I love you, but we’ve all got such a massive range of music it’s really hard getting everything on there but I’ve been thinking about a video section in the side table where we pick which video we’d like to see on there that way everyone can get a favourite song but this is just an idea if you want the play list that badly keep reminding me, ‘kay?}
