I'm not giving up on Hoth.

xGowronx's departure reminds me of something. Remember that scene in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back when the Empire is in the process of attacking the rebel base on Hoth and everyone is scrambling to get on to a ship so they can evacuate? And they all say their goodbyes in the middle of the chaos and tell each other that they'll rendezvous later on the new base? Well, that's what things have been feeling like on the site lately. A lot of us feel like we're under attack, like the big AT-ATs of Darth Doody are on the march towards our peaceful home. And a lot of us are leaving. I'm not sure that I'll ever permanently leave, but I have been spending a lot of time at "New Base" lately. ;) I'm sure that at least half of everyone here hasn't even been to new base before, so I'm not concerned that it will become a wasteland over here. What I am concerned about is how much less traffic this site is getting nowadays. Not to mention the fact that the biggest contributers are the ones hurt the most by bugs, so they're either already gone or in the process of leaving. And that's not good. If people keep leaving, this site isn't going to be making any money and the information here is going to become out of date. What I'm saying is that if the bugs don't get fixed, this site could cease to exist. It would not be the first time that something like that happened. A site with serious competition has got to be on the top of its game if it wants to survive. But enough doomsday theories. It's a little bit hypocritical of me to be saying things like that while trying to build morale with the superlatives. Which, by the way, are going well. :) Only three more days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) to get your votes in, and only four more days until we get the results. And from what I've seen of the votes so far, there could be some surprises. That's it for today. Sorry I haven't blogged or blopped for several days. :oops: See you guys later. PS: Go make Roxie feel better.
