News that you probably weren't expecting; :(

Observer of all Posts: 2,337 Group: Root Administrator Member #1 Joined: Jan 29, 2008	This month is pretty much the last month that Writer's Realm will be open. There are several reasons... First of all, I'm feeling a little guilty because it's partly my issue. Lately WR hasn't been the most active, obviously, but that's not the main reason I'm going to shut this down; I'm at a really, really busy time in my life, and since it's not a story, I don't know how it's going to play out, and I've found myself finding almost no time and energy to come on and keep this place active. It's also putting a slight hold on my writing at the moment, because when ever I take out my notebook, there is something in the back of my mind that's nagging me to go on WR. Well if tell myself that I'm going to put it off a day, I can't write, since I just keep thinking about the fact that sooner or later I will have to make time to come on, so there's a lot of pressure as well (which I hate). At first I was thinking that maybe I could just hand it over to someone, but since there aren't many active members as it is, it just didn't feel right to me. I'm waiting until July 1st. On that day you won't be able to come on WR any longer... :( I apologize to everyone here...and thank you to everyone who actually is active. You have time to finish Creative Impulse #5, and maybe Kaja could lower the deadline two days or so, so she would have time to judge? If there is anything you would like to post before WR closes, do it now. Again, I'm really sorry everyone, but I feel this is the right thing to do (I prayed about it and everything, so I'm sure). :-/

But I am sad. :unsure: It is hard for me to stay active on so many forums. Plus, I have my forum to run, plus all of the new ones that are popping up. Edited by RedHead97, Jun 9 2009, 08:56 PM.

I refuse to use a custom member title. Posts: 106 Group: Writers+ Member #31 Joined: Jul 2, 2008	I (have) administrate(d) countless forums; if ya think its only temporary I'm willing to take over for a while. If not...well, been a good time. Thanks for running it long as you did ;)

Frogs and Penelope (a title of something yet to come) Posts: 83 Group: Writers+ Member #18 Joined: Apr 20, 2008	Well that's disappointing. I like Lykaios' suggestion. There's no way you can hand it over? A lot of us have experience. How much longer will you have this open?

Let's play a love game, play a love game... Posts: 888 Group: Administrators Member #38 Joined: Aug 4, 2008	sigh This is partially my fault as well. My administrative abilities have all been focused on The Hallow Life. That and I haven't been writing much, or at least much that I can publicly share (mine being adult romance, mostly). I'm still available to admin here. As for transferring powers over to someone, I don't suggest the co-admin (me), seeing as how distracted I am. xP But I don't want to see Writers Realm die D:

GOOGLE, IS, GOD. Posts: 182 Group: Writers+ Member #90 Joined: Apr 14, 2009	You're shutting down the site purely because you're too busy to handle it yourself? And that whenever you pull out a notebook you think of this site? I class that as pathetic, despite however callous it sounds. Really, it sounds as if you're using your own benefit really just to shut down the site, so you can keep writing again. Really, that's rather ... pretentious, and somewhat stupid. This is definite, that may be, but I'm not going to just sit here and let this pass by without some ACTUAL reasoning. If it's just you, don't get why you're closing down. Icey's more or less active, as is Lyk, Unknown, and Caelum to a certain degree. Even I am. Does this site even need administrating this much? Icey comes by every now and then, and you're barely active at all, in fact, with all this crap about dancing and such you come on every week, sometimes two. Which is just ... dense, if you're going to close it down because of that. Now, before I turn into a rant, give me some reasoning that isn't to do with you. Edited by God., Jun 11 2009, 03:45 PM.
	Everybody loves the universe. If you can look past the black holes, the rogue asteroids, the gym teachers, and that paper boy who keeps throwing your magazines into the bushes, it's a simple place most of us can call a happy home. It's a good thing. However, even the obviously non-sentient universe has a sense of irony. You see, the universe is going to end. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not 10120 years from now, but it will happen. One of the ways science predicts our inevitable demise is by pissing off God. But that's another story. Instead, another way that science predicts the universe will cease to function is through the "heat death of the universe" theory.
