I was really getting scared that we wouldn't be able to continue with RotR... gah, I'm glad that didn't happen.
*tacklehugs AU*
I was in the same boat as you are. This is my center... everyone I talk to is here and I was shocked for a bit. Though it gave me time to catch up on some writing and reading, but still it was like withdrawal and it was not fun
Glad to be back _________________

Wow guys, calm down... it's just a forum, not your breathing air.
But good to see everyone.

Hmm... Facebook and other forums were what sustained me. On, and Instant Messaging. I like having the contants outside to help through these troubled times.
Haldy, it's cool. I am sure we all know it is just a forum. _________________ <center>

Really? Seemed more like a sanctuary or haven to everyone, not just a forum. Not saying it's weird and creepy or anything though.

I'm so happy everything's fixed! Thank you so much, beloved Arweb, keeper of AU's golden threads! I don't think Arweb would ever just cut us off like that. I don't think so either, but a while ago I was a lurker on a fairly busy forum, and one day I went to check up on any updates...and the forum was completely gone. I recently e-mailed the webmistress and asked her what had happened, and she said that she just hadn't renewed the site. It's been about three years that the forum's been gone, so I couldn't help but have some tiny doubts. 
"The Little Crash of '09"  Love it!
Haldir, AU's definitely a huge part of my life because I've made so many friends here and have been able to focus on my true love: improving my graphics. Yes, AU's a forum, but it means so much more to me that that. _________________

I'd definitely say it's my Haven. People here have helped me through some really tough times and still do. Most don't even know it._________________

Hahahah wow, okay! I'd be extremely entertained if this place crashed for good someday then. That'd be like pulling the plug for some of you.

We would figure something out. Don't be hostile, though, it's unbecoming and a bit obnoxious. So what if people rely on a website that has a lot of social networks running through it? It's been a lot of help to a lot of people through the years, laughing at those that it's been a haven for is ridiculous. Take your hostility elsewhere.

I can be as hostile and unbecoming as I want, mother, thanks. You're calling me obnoxious when some of these people are hailing a webmaster like a goddess? That's pretty funny. You think I'm ridiculous and I think you're ridiculous. I think we're even.

Aliana's not the only one who find you rude and hostile. If you are offended by what we're saying and how we feel about AU, then please go someplace else and kindly stop bringing us down. If you don't care about AU, then why are you here anyways?

Oh, okay - so now that you find me rude and hostile as well, it definitely matters to me; )
Where did I mention that I'm offended by what you're saying? Quote me, please. I find it ridiculous and amusing, not offensive. I don't care for this place as a life source, I simply find it a regular fun place to be and to occasionally post in. That's pretty healthy.
