Why are you doing this to us?

1. If I didn't, we would keep trudging along starving and drop dead in our tracks

2. You're not losing that much. Everything will go on the same way, except I won't be putting up submissions.

3. This starts the first day of winter.

4. We will re-open, sometime.

Why I came to this conclusion

In sequential order

1. Autumn started after the peak of activity. The day I realized how downhill we were going was when I opened my Yahoo! Mailbox and found no messages.
2. All other TP sites declined in activity. Tammy online economy is going down.
3. Yahoo clubs decline drastically.
4. Tara's Tamora Pierce site closed. Permanently. First big winter storm

That’s about it. I still welcome the occasional E-mail. I will stop by from time to time, chat in the Mess Hall.

I love all who came, participated.

This is not the end of Tortall Palace. We will re-open - sometime -.
