Hey everybody. So we have a pretty important subject to discuss. Lakeham has been open for nearly one month now, and in that first week, we managed to get some pretty amazing writers who have stuck around. We have, however, started to develop a problem which we can’t seem to solve. For nearly three weeks, we’ve been unable to recruit any new members to help with the growth of Lakeham, which admittedly has disheartened us. Whilst we appreciate every single member we currently have and adore the characters you’ve brought us, we did begin this group with the intent to expand and feel we are failing to do this despite promoting the group. As we’ve said, it has disheartened us, therefore we have made the decision to make Lakeham a closed group for the time being. This does NOT mean Lakeham is closing, it simply means that our current members are more than welcome to continue their plots and threads (as will we.) This also means that we will be much more relaxed on activity. The main will still be open and we will update it here and there with accepting new characters (created from existing members.) We would like to be the first to apologize if this decision brings upset or disappointment to anybody. Please understand when we say we did not expect this to happen but feel the vision we had set out to be simply hasn’t happened for us (which brings us much disappointment also.) We feel the situation is now out of our control and that there’s not much more we can do. This may not be permanent — we may open the doors to Lakeham again with a fresh new look. But for now, this is how things will be.
