I'm sorry to do this. I really don't want to, but I'm at the point where I feel I have little choice. After some debating and discussion with the other mods, I have decided to close down Falling Star Academy. There are several reasons for this, though the biggest reason is that I am simply burnt out. For the past few weeks, I've been wracking my brain, trying to come up with some sort of event to help get some activity going, and, much to my annoyance, I've come up with nothing. The way I see it, if I have to try that hard for that long to come up with a way to make my site more interesting...then yeah. Maybe it's time to let it go.
I want to thank all of the members who have stuck with the us the whole time, especially since there were some bumpy spots. I'd also like to thank the mods who (however brief their times might have been) helped me in running the site. To those of you who either recently returned or had just joined, I can only apologize; especially if you've already gone through the trouble of making a new profile. You simply caught us at a bad time. If you're wondering, no I will not be placing the site on Maintenance Mode. That way, if you ever wish to retrieve anything from here, you'll be more than welcome to.
Also, know that this may not be permanent. There may come a day where I feel up to dealing with the burden of being an admin again, and I might decide to try and revive FSA again. After all, it wouldn't be the first time. Or I may just make a completely new site altogether. Either way, all I can say is we had a pretty good run. A lot longer than I expected, to be perfectly honest. As such, I can safely say that, aside from this, I have no regrets.
In any case...yeah. If if any of you wish to stay in contact with me, feel free to add me on Skype. My sn is hyperkunoichi. Just make sure I know who you are when you add me. Hopefully, one day, I might have it in me to either revive this one (again) or make a new site. And, if I'm lucky, I might have members who are at least half as great as all of you were. If I'm really lucky, I might be able to get some of you to join/rejoin. But, until then, I wish you all well.
