Kingmakers has been pretty slow for a while. Not dead, but slow, and that's just how it goes. Most of you have run into important IRL time sinks, either temporary or permanent. And that's good: I prefer to associate with people who have their priorities straight.
You know, for a niche board run on free software by a guy who has a bunch of work/family/community responsibilities, we've done pretty well. A few days ago we passed our three-month mark, we've made fourteen hundred posts, and some of the characters and settings and plots created here stack up pretty favourably in the fantasy genre. I'm proud of the friendships that got made and the content that we created.
I'll keep on using Kingmakers to write fantasy, and I'd invite all of you to do the same whenever life gives you a spare moment. Whether you can or can't find the time, though, be proud of what you've built here. Even if the board dies entirely at some point, I'll keep it up so you can look back at your kingdoms and characters with a smile. Who knows: maybe someday you'll adapt your creations and we'll see them on the shelves. Or heck, maybe someday a bigger, better fantasy board will come around and spark your fancy, and maybe they'll accept character transfers. My point is that you've created things that are bigger and more enduring than one little whimsical website.
Thank you all, and carry on.
