It has certainly been a long, eventful journey.
Though, as they say, all good things must come to an end. The rocky road of the SMs has an end in clear sight, and its quickly approaching.
I would like to make it clear that this is not on account of recent events. This thought has been plaguing my mind for some time now, and only recently have I decided that my feet are coming to that end in the road. What I am saying is, there will be no more new Skull Monkeys.
This thread has brought to me great joy and great sadness, but the happiness always outrules the disappointing times. Basically everyone here I have befriended and will cherish that for large amounts of time afterwards. People such as Sailormoon, Hinabi, Lenta, Emelyn.. they've been here all along. Thank you for staying. Em, especially, your ideas have brought depth and challenge to this project, and without it we couldn't have been so original. Thanks. And thank you to every single other person, keeper of a Skull Monkey or a lurker, bumper, stalker. There have always been those people pushing me on to greater heights for this creation.
Things I would like to make very clear to you:
+ Every Skull Monkey will continue to grow. I am not abandoning this place. I'll still be around the thread and the guild. There just won't be any more new Skull Monkeys.
+ Fifth stage items.. The deadline for using these will be set as September 1st. You do not have to use them. Those who have already used theirs will definitely grow. Liz is trying to complete those, though her starting school is lagging her much. No hating, she's trying her hardest. heart
+ The guild.. Please continue to use it. I know there have been friendships made here or even brought here, and I'd hate to see them to go waste. The guild will always be accessible to you.
+ Breeding. It won't open. As I said, no new Skull Monkeys will be brought out. I'm terribly sorry about this.
If I can think of more to add, I will. This was my decision to make, and I hope you can see that the interest in this project, from me, has steadily declined. I may take on future projects, so do watch out for me. This has nothing to do with amounts of time I have, though my free time will be going down the drain with the start of hockey season and school. I am certainly not leaving Gaia. You can PM me and talk to me all you want, still! As I said, I'm am not abandoning, its not my style.
In the long run, this journey has been a memorable one. A thousand pages of one, and that's only the third thread's count! Jeez, you guys are dedicated. I love you all so much for putting up with my crudtastic art for such a massive amount of time. Thank you, thank you very much.
There may or may not be an uproar after this message is read.. If you think a message is inappropriate for the eyes of everyone, feel free to PM me. I will not suppress anyone from their opinions; I'll be glad to hear what you think.
Much love to everyone. heart
