The Escape Pod

I am very sad; too sad to really put the accurate words of how I feel right now down. The Escape Pod is slated to close in two weeks, and I'm not ready for it. Granted, I write roleplay there, and to some, you are perhaps thinking that I could just do so elsewhere.

But it's not the same. It could never be the same. You see, in between the posting came some online, but truly geniuine friendships. I wouldn't give up a second of the hours I've spent chatting with you guys: PGhst, Graysith, and all the others who have come and gone, and who are still there.

I'm really hoping that this isn't going to happen. Life has been crappy the past couple of weeks, and I hate to see anything further added to it. The Pod is a valued escape (not a play on words) mechanism.

And I guess I hope my friendship means something to everyone there as well. I hope you all know that I will be IMing to check up on how you are doing regardless of whether the website stays or goes, and I hope you'll do the same. You've kept me sane and listened to my troubles. You've given me a shoulder to cry on and vise versa.

This sort of thing just doesn't happen twice. It's end would leave a definite black hole on the internet.

And now I'm crying. I hope this isn't the end...
