In Our three years of confederation, We have experienced the highs and lows, triumphs and tribulations concomitant with such a Union. We have enjoyed the excitement of new friends and members joining Our Fold, and We have felt the pain of seeing our brethren in Checkmate. predecease Us and of seeing friends depart this realm. We have won wars and lost battles. We have been jubilant in victory and humble in defeat (here’s looking at you Digiterran Football…). Most of all, We have been happy in Our Home. When however, the number of empty seats outnumber those still filled, even the warmest of homes can be a lonely place. And so, while we close the Great Door of Openness today, the gateway to Our happy memories remains ever ajar waiting only for a word, familiar face, feeling or image to open the floodgates of nostalgia. And so friends and foe alike, We take our leave from you as Open Sourcers, and greet you as Remnants.

queenhailee Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's a sad day, Noli. For awhile there at the beginning we were living parallel existences. It was nice having someone who shared the dark times and it was awesome to be able to share the good times, too. Now on to new beginnings. . .
