Before anyone says anything, the point must first be made: I have failed each and every one of you and I have failed this guild. I let my personal life drag me away from the people who have done nothing but try and support me and even after everything had settled down, I was too ashamed of myself to even come near here again. The memories still haunt me and perhaps they forever will.
I am sorry for letting you all down and for allowing this guild to fall as far as it did. Nothing I can do can make it up to you. For as long as I was able to get back up on my feet again, I began to look through the guild again, picking up old memories, checking on each and every one of you, seeing how you are all doing. It was to my disappointment that not much has changed since I last posted... In fact, aside from a few new threads, nothing has changed at all.
Well, that's about to change. I don't know if I'm even still welcome around here or if any of you are still around anymore. It could be that I'm just an old ghost talking to the ghosts of other comrades who are here no more. But that is beside the point. Today, is the beginning of a new era. Today, we will rebuild, and we will resume the former glory of the old Barton Army!
...
Alright, to be honest, none of you rebuilt anything. I did. Today, I rebuilt our home, free from the shackles of the past, free from all the bad times, the sad times, and the, well... Well, the very annoying noObie times. I rebuilt our home the way I had always envisioned it.
I tossed the idea in my head about trying to rebuild this place in secret, but I figured that it couldn't be done. Too many bad memories, too many links, and of course, too much for myself or this s**t computer of mine to handle.
So instead, I give to you our new home, should you choose to accept it:
