I just killed my blog. It has been one year and a half of daily writing. Incoherent ramblings, attempts at poetry and short fiction, posts that no one cared to read 'cos they were too big.
However, some stuff happened because of it. Some good stuff, I have to say. Perhaps it wasn't the best thing I could do to kill the damn blog after all the good things it has brought to me. But now it's done. I think I'll restart one from scratch at some point in the future. I feel strangely free, you know?
And now I've found out that there's a risk of the Lith being no more. Which just fits in the "killing something in which someone invested a brutal amount of work and time".
Don't know. Now I imagine everyone busy, pacinf to and fro, ollecting their stuff, zipping/unzipp bags, getting ready to leave if this place closes. I'm feeling awkward. Anyone wants to talk?

Hi there. At the moment we don't know what's happening. The thread about closing has gone, but we don't know if that means that Tom's changed his mind, or he just got sick of us all moaning.

He put in a request for the thread to be deleted - I PM'd him for clarification, but I guess another moderator got to it first...

It's all still up in the air. I imagine we'll be the first to know once the man's reached a decision - meanwhile, I suggest we avoid needlessly reactive 'endtimes thinking' and concentrate on continuing to make the Underground a place we'd all like to be, for as long as it continues to exist.

I killed my blog a month or so ago.
It had outlived its purpose and overstepped it's welcome.
And i feel so much better now.
Strange that, like a sack of coal lifted off my back.
