Is this place closed or on hiatus?
At the moment it's actually a rather long story. This place takes a lot of work and maintenance. Each confession takes about five minutes (absolute minimum) to make because of finding images, the editing and then the uploading. And we used to have a very loyal helper base, but as people started getting busier and we ourselves (the admins) started getting busier the confessions which could be made every day thinned out. But the number of confessions being sent in did not. It got to a point where we had 200 messages in the inbox and of course we closed it for a while, but two weeks passed and because the smaller group of people who were making confessions could only make so many we'd only gotten through a tiny amount of confessions. The time went on and we finally managed to finish all of the confessions but the moment Christmas hit and the confessions started coming in again we had 170 within a week and a half and only three people able to work. After that one dropped out leaving one admin and one helper to work through over 200 confessions. Which is rather overwhelming.
Now, tumblr tells us we have 405 messages, but we can't actually access them all. Because for some reason there's a corruption somewhere along the lines, so when trying to actually look at the confessions we can't get past the first page. Tumblr services was contacted but no reply was given and as of now there are no helpers around which leaves one incredibly busy-with-real-life staff member and a corrupted page.Ā
This blog is amazing and I have been so privilidged by the support given to it. And I want to continue it. It's a help group, a network of roleplayers and I love that. It's actually you guys that prompted my dissertation (thesis) topic about the internet and it's uses in communication between friends as well as the negative effects which tends to be portrayed. You guys are amazing. But we can never run it by ourselves, it's impossible.Ā
So, yes, we are on hiatus, at least until we can figure out this corruption bug and attempt to get through the backlog of messages. We don't want you guys to forget us or to think we're not here for you guys. We are working, we promise, technology and time are just against us right now.
