Ok, so we are closing in on TWC's final moments. I wanted to discuss with you exactly what will happen to the site after the 27th. I see the following options:

1. Cremation.
I delete the site and all of its topics, posts and statistics. No turning back. Dead for good.

2. Cryostasis
The site remains online, but posting is disabled. Thus you can read old posts, reminisce about the good old days and use For Honour and Glory lore and maps for future pojects. With this option, reanimation remains a possibility so that if people should decide to return, I would be able to enable posting once more.

3. Elysium
TWC's glory days are officially concluded, but the site remains fully functional for things like the Star Wars RP and for the occasional Off Topic post.

Of course an aternative to the above would be if the Star Wars RP guys are interested in making their own fully-fledged site like the RP Pat had made back in the day.

I have not made up my mind yet, so I will hear what you good folks have to say before a decision is made.

We decided to keep the SWRP on this site because we wanted to try to help bring activity to the site again. I think 3 is the best option.

I think option 3 would be best, even if its just the occasional thing its better than nothing ;) and it would be slightly better than option 2 for that reason. Option 1 would be unthinkable, there are some things on here that are worth looking at and keeping after all ;)

What would be achieved in deleting or locking the site? If it's going to die, wait until the light goes out before you snuff it. There will always be a trickle of activity on TWC. The RPG proves that.

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

I agree. Besides, in the future, we (you, somebody) might be able to get new recruits and increase the activity.

#3.

I agree with the above, leaving it open allows the possibility of future activity. Deleted the forum would be like denying the place ever existed, not to mention wiping out all of the RPGs, discussion topics for FHaG, etc would be a terrible move.

I know that forum activity or not I'll be continuing to write stuff for FHaG and without all those discussions and the writings of others, especially in background areas where I don't know it all, it would leave me lost in places and with less inspiration/motivation.

Keep it going. Even the occasional conversation on here would be quite nice. :)

I would vote for option three if I were going to vote, which I'm not. I think that about a month ago it would've been safe to shut down TWC, but now I disagree. Since the closing began, activity has increased and a new RP has started, and Gorfang, Andy and I have been talking about how to get the original RP going again. So I think all of this closing stuff should be forgotten about. We should stop treating it like the end because at this stage I think there's a very good chance that the forum will endure.

"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided!

Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony!

Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus

3 is what I would go for. Certainly not 1. I haven't deleted TMTOA or TCOW. Also, last time I checked, even the Teen Writing Society still existed.

Hahaha this is so awesome! All TWC needed was a near-death experience to have activity kick in once more like a shot of adrenaline. Great :)
