I am not sure how long this will last but it has to be said and since the ppl who it is aimed at are not going on the Tig Party anymore then I am making it it's own topic
I take it as a blow toward me and my topic that you guys are boycotting my topic, it has survived many things on this forum. Three mods, members leaving, LL411, and newbies who have become our friends. When A.D. logged on this morning and I read the names of the ppl who have turned their back on me and my topic I was hurt... not only did you leave the tig party, you made it public, setting my topic out as the bad guy and black listing it. I seem to remember that only a few weeks ago everyone was all to happy to set a great welcome to the 2nd one!
Exa, Shadowy and Smodden, I understand if you are taking a break from the forum completely, we all have taken a little time away at times, and if that is the case you won't be reading this.....
Thor, I am not sure what to say to you really........... actually nothing because I am so upset with you. I had no idea you would follow a crowd
Chris I am upset with you the most. I am not actually going to write anything on here about it because it is a private matter but I really am disappointed in you
I thought of you all as my friends and you have turned your back on me
My choice was not supposed to offend anyone, least of all the Thread itself - which in my opinion is definitely the most powerful thread ever created here, and I am really happy and thankful that I could write there so long, got to know you all better and was able to spend long happy hours there.
I am still reading everything new posted in Tig Party,
but I had to decide not to post there anymore - mostly because of private reasons/problems that are irrelevant for explaining the situation, so il ignore them in this post
Fact is that posting in Tig didn't let me enough time to read all the other threads, and so I ceased it.
I repeat, this is no personal offense against anyone

The Tig's what drew me away from the OTF for so long that in itself is a feat, Aurora
regardless...it is by far THE most successful topic ever made, and while this doesn't entirely relate to the topic, I've gotta congratulate you for that
I love Tig Party. You can't blame everything on Tig, because it has made us closer to each other, and it's made KMC more enjoyable for me personally, and it's also kept this forum going.
But I think now that we know each other, and Tig has become so predictable, as Exa said, the best thing to do right now might be to close it. To close it for a while, and continue with the rest of the forum. Having Tig open and many members not posting in it, makes the atmosphere of the forum seem somewhat bitter, to me.
It can be re-opened in a few months, when the forum has been uplifted again.
But that's just my personal opinion.
Closing the Tig Party is probably one of the worst things that can be done...
Since Storm has stated that any threads taken off topic would be closed, and since no member of the LOTR Forum can stay on topic for more than 1 post...the Tig Party gives us all a place where we can speak our mind about things other than LOTR ! Close it, and I gaurantee that within a month, the LOTR Forum will be dead, all threads closed, and all members bitter !
When you talk to people IRL, do you only talk about LOTR and if they change the subject, do you tell them that you are leaving ???
As absurd as that is...that is exactly what those of you who said you are leaving are doing.
I might be partial to Aurora's viewpoint, but I too am quite disappointed in those that I called my friends !
the tig party was the first thread i ever went into on KMC. there i met alot of the people i know fairly well now. without it that would have never happened.
