A decade ago, as barely a teenager, I made this forum. I had big, grand plans at the time- I dreamed of it becoming a permanent fixture in my life, of it someday becoming huge and grand. And while maybe it never became what I dreamed of- it still became, in it's own way, something beautiful and amazing. For the first time in my life, I had something to be proud of, somewhere I felt like I belonged. I didn't have a single clue what I was doing- the coding for the old background was a hodge-podge thrown together by me and Aqua, without any guides looked up as we flailed to try to make it work. The...

I've tried to be patient. I've tried to be understanding. I haven't yelled, I haven't screamed, and I think, so far, I've done a good job.
Until today.
Until ANOTHER of my friends told me he was leaving the forum.
It's the same excuses every. Fucking. Time.
"I don't feel like talking to 'insert name here'."
"I don't have time."
"I just don't feel like it."
And you know what? I think I've handled this -shit- pretty well so far. Until today, I had avoided yelling, avoided crying, avoided getting angry.
Until today.
But you know what? We have 34 users....

Right! So! SOME of you didn't receive the forum wide email I sent out, so, for your convenience, I have copy pasted the contents HERE. If you have REASONS for being gone, either tell me HERE or tell me in PMs. If it's something I can HELP, I will! I can't do a thing if I don't know there's a problem, though, damn it!

Hello, assorted robots/demons/deities/shiny aliens/ninjas/vampires and darklings! I'm *pretty*sure you all remember that weiiird little forum you joined- Live it Up? Yeah. Well. You *did* join it, and that's why your receiving this message- because you stopped showing up....

Added a /Video to TV forum, this is to help keep up with the fact that you can watch things not on TV these days.

GEH! New editor RUINS all my hard work! I am insulted! GRAR! It no longer works right! Saddening! T_T

What are your opinions about my current plot to advertise this forum and hopefully get a few more people around. Mi'j doesn't count, just to be mean.

I've started changing some of the the colors around the forum, trying to
make it be less eye hurt. If I have failed, be sure to tell me, that's
how I get better!
I'm also planning on returning to making unique post buttons, but that
will take a little while since I got no comp. Yep, it's down again. I
feel so special, this is like the tenth time I broke windows. Enough
about me, back to what's been changing. I've altered the points system
slightly, cause I noticed that it was a little ridiculous. I've also
altered what you get from the points as well....

Someone, not making any accusations, abused the rep feature, using it to rate a bunch of my posts negatively for no good reason, I mean, a bunch of the badly rated posts were ROLEPLAY posts, dammit. So, after asking shali, I am removing the rep feature. Good job, people.
