It's sad to know that Alden will be no more and that you guys are withdrawing but I'd like to thank the both of you for everything that you've created here and with how welcoming you've always been (every member included). Alden has opened me up to a plethora of storylines and ideas that I never even once considered and everyone here has inspired me to be a better writer and to think even further outside of the box than I ever thought was imaginable.
Alden and everyone within it will be greatly missed but that's what AIM is for I suppose :) Keep in contact (youv'e got my email and AIM) and let me know if you guys ever create another board because I'd be more than happy to apply so that I may write with you all again :)
