About the Forum…

This is a difficult blog for me to write, Minions. A very difficult blog, indeed. Because I know what it means to so many of you, and I know that it's not going to make several of you happy. Which sucks. Because I live to make you guys happy.

We've had a pretty amazing time with the forum here on my site, haven't we? You've met and made friends with fellow Minions. We've chatted. You've shared writing and art with your fellow Minions. It's been awesome. But the active population has dwindled, due to certain happenings (no pointing fingers here, but we did have two unfortunate unscheduled reboots of accounts), and now…well, I feel like we've come to a point where it's time to step back from things and reevaluate whether or not the forum is worth our collective time, my Minions.

Many of you don't even use the forum at all, so this news won't really affect you. But I've put a lot of thought into this (over the past year, actually), and I've decided that, effective next Friday, January 20th, the forum will no longer exist. I've already instructed my web guru that that's D-Day. If you have any writing or artwork there that you'd like to keep, please, please grab it this week, because I'd hate for you to lose it.

Am I sad about this? A little. But mostly, I feel at peace. There was a time when I was able to be on the forums several times a day. But that time shrank to the point that I was on maybe once every four or five months. You deserve better than that, Minions. You deserve my full attention. And I can give you that here on my blog, on my Twitter feed, my Formspring, and on my Facebook.

So…here's to change. Here's to the good times we had. And to the world domination we've yet to accomplish.

I love you, Minion Horde.
