It is super generous of TS to keep this open for us and I am very grateful to them.
However, the end of the year is only about 2 weeks away.
I am using the threads about other games to try to find a new game and I want to be able to order/download the graphics and music collections.
I know I am not the only one. Look how active the forum still is. I hope they wait until we have time to find/build a new home. At least a couple of months...
Also, just before Christmas is such a hectic time! I have so much going on right now! I feel so rushed! It would really help if they could keep the forum open at least until February 1st, to give us a chance to get things sorted out.
even if we do find a new home, it wouldn't be the same community. i hope they'll keep this site up for the sake of preserving that, but idk how restrictive that'd be in terms costs. i'm hoping TS, and the rest of the glitchen would be able to come up with something together. :'|
LPC & Crew - please oh please! Glitch is the only game other than Animal Crossing for the Wii that I have EVER been able to play (my grandkids will tell you that in between chuckles) and I would love to be able to still check this page to see what my friends are doing and what they suggest. While I am convinced no other game will replace Glitch for me, I can at least hope that someone will find something close enough (and easy enough) for me to follow them to the next journey.
i am going to suggest blandly that keeping the forums and stuff open may be economical in keeping the rabid fanbase close at hand for whenever the next project is ready to be looked at.
i don't care if the next tinyspeck project is banking software, do you hear me? i want to try it.
OMG, could you imagine, banking software with Glitch cartoons??!! A little bureaucroc could sit in the corner of your screen admonishing you to be more organized with your receipts! I might actually care about my finances in such a situation.
There are SO many creative projects going on by people coping with the loss of our little world, and the site is such a great resource and gathering place. Please let us know if you can keep it open longer!
Please, dear devs, keep discussing keeping the forums open? This will be the saddest New Year's countdown ever if we know we're going to lose our last link to our Glitchen at the stroke of Midnight. :-( We lobe you and lobe each other.
I would pay a subscription to keep the site going...
from updates, 2 hours ago: Little Poundcake says,"We're all taking a little bit of time off and haven't even discussed the process of taking stuff down, let alone what we'll do and when we'll do it, so you have more than 4 days. :) We're not going to start working in earnest again until the new year. We will make a new post in the forums to announce when things will be taken offline when we figure that stuff out!"
*cries sad tears* Miss you all soooo much, and being able to come back to the forums, read, post, chat, has been wonderful and is easing the pain of losing our beloved Glitch and friends here. I understand it is costing RL money to keep the servers going and keep this up for us, but if there's any way it can be done just for a couple more weeks or a month, it would be a wonderful New Year's gift to all your loyal and caring players, Stoot and team.
December with all the holidays has been so busy that many of us had to spend more time than usual in RL (grin), and not enough time getting done all we wanted to do here before the final darkness.
