KITSY Okay guys. This is the news of sad variety in a way. So I'm just going to talk about how I've felt here in Shorehaven for the last god knows how long. When I first joined I loved this place then I loved the players. I've learned so much in my time here and for a long time we did damn good here. All of my favorite RP partners and I mean of all time come from this community even if they aren't with us anymore. We've had a contagious passion and joy here, talent and dedication. Really you can't ask for more than that.
However, that's not where we are anymore. I've put in a buttload of time on this place because I love it and I've had so many long stretching plots planned out but these days I can't even make myself get on to do something simple like a blog post. I've literally lost the fire for it. Shorehaven hasn't been the community I fell in love with for some time now and the longer I stay the less I'll be able to remember why I did.
I've learned so much from all of you guys, you became my friends and my inspiration and I hope that continues but the community itself stopped functioning. Something we needed broke and it's breaking everything else. At this point it's pointless to try and figure out what it was because for the community itself, at least for me, it's too late. We can try and band-aid a million things but I don't think it will help.
I want to remember this place for the good it gave me and not all the bad. So at this point I think it's best if we close. You can continue writing your plots somewhere but the only thing we ask is to move it somewhere else than the character blogs we've had here. We'd appreciate that things don't continue on the island.
TYRELL I just want to add to this that Shorehaven has been this amazing thing for me these past seven months. I mean, I've been writing things for like 10 years but whilst I've been here I've learnt so much about writing, about different styles and about how to progress and advance and whatever. So first off thanks everyone.
But there is a major problem with the community here and it's mostly irreparable. It's been going on for a long time and everything we've tried to get this sorted out hasn't worked and it just seems like there isn't anything left to do. Shorehaven feels like work for me, and it shouldn't be that way. And the community is getting more and more inactive so a close seems like the only available option left.
I wanna just reiterate what Kitsy said though, you're all free to continue writing with your characters - they're yours and you're free to do whatever you want with them - but we just want to ask that you don't write them as a part of, or on, Shorehaven anymore, aka new blogs.
