It is with sadness that I announce the official closing of XI. The remainder of the moderator staff have discussed it and feel that it is time to bring this story to a halt.

I want to personally thank everyone who's worked on the moderator/administration team over the last few years. It's a hard, sometimes thankless, job and they all took it on willingly and did an exceptional job.

I want to thank everyone who gave back to play and made it such an interesting experience. It wouldn't have been the same without you wacky individuals.

We'll be leaving everything up for a while so that people can get any information that they want for posterity or future use. After that, I'll contact Cay and let him do whatever it is he wants to do with the place.

Thanks again for everyone who made this a great experience.

Sincerely,
Daniel/Nate/Natalya/WerewolfPaladin

Thank you for making one of the best roleplaying forums I've ever been a part of. I'm sorry it had to end.

Agreed. It did fade out toward the end, but I very much enjoyed my time here. I thank you, and Minerva, Calliope, Thalia and Darius thank you.

I would also like to thank all the players, not just the mods. It took all of us to make this place great.

I really wasn't here very long, but I still appreciated and enjoyed my time here. So thanks mods, and thanks players! It was fun.

Thanks for many wonderful memories. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be around, especially later on. I tremendously enjoyed the stories we were able to tell together, and thoroughly enjoyed getting to role-play with everyone.

Before I leave and end this last post, I have a confession and perhaps an apology to make:

For quite a while I not only role-played on the boards, but in chat rooms and PMs with many of you. 

You see, I'm Noelle. 

It started as a desire to just have a presence on the boards that wasn't immediately known to everyone as a moderator but turned over time into an extra opportunity to role-play with people, pretending to be the person behind noelle, which in and of itself was rather fun.

If that offends anyone, I'm truly sorry, but know that I enjoyed our many latenight chat sessions regardless of who I was pretending to be.

All my best,

Jason/Trev/Stephanie/FailMod/Noelle

Jay: they know, I just didn't wanna piss on yer parade.

Thanks for the kicks, see y'all in the funny papers.

Best Regards,
