I've only been following the forums for a short while so I don't have the long history of who was on and who wasn't over the years. but are the numbers truly going down? or is this simply a seasonal thing? I for one am much more active during the winter months.. If the numbers\traffic are going down, any suggestions or ideas to bump the morale ? possibly different servers to host? (PASTE COMMENT HERE)

I love the group we got going here, truly. I have tons of fun playing with fellow clan mates in CoD and BC2, but I'll always cherish the days of UO. I could step on any time of the day and there would be, at the least, seven people on vent playing. Playing with Mayo, Pimp, Eagle, Deception, Redcorn, Kodiak, Toxic, the {[TGM]} brothers, Videoman, XPP, Khan, The Death, Smoke and even that Fallen kid (I think that's what he went by... For a while at least). Had a lot of fun then, but things change, and there's no stopping that. All great things come to an end eventually, and it's just time to move on.

[The Idea is to make sure all great things dont come to an end. I understand what you are saying, but for me it has to continue. We cherish the old times, but have to make new ones. I truly believe that with a little work things can a will be great again.

I'd like to believe you, but I just think that things change and all we can do is remember the good times. Like Christmas, at least in my home. I remember when I was just a toddler, and the only thing I cared about waking up to in the morning was a stocking full of souvenirs and candy, and a tree drowned in gifts. I couldn't sleep on Christmas Eve because I was too excited, and in the morning, I'd get up around five or six, and would be tortured having to wait until eight or nine for everyone else to wake up to start the presents. They were cold Christmas's, which I loved, and after we did our tree, we'd go to my grandparents house across the street and the whole family would be there by ten. Tons of us, and tons of presents. My older cousin, Josh (Ranger), would hand out the gifts one at a time and we'd celebrate. After the gifts, the rest of the day was fellowship, and celebration, the house was a mess, filled with new gifts everywhere, and my little siblings and I would play with our new toys, already loosing pieces in the mess of other gifts. It was an all-day thing, playing Christmas music. Now, they come over for breakfast, presents and leave. Just like that, and then what? Nothing. It feels like an ordinary day, which, pardon my language: BLOWS! It really, really sucks. It wasn't just in our home, it was everywhere. I remember we would go look for Christmas lights some nights, just to see them, and you could go down almost any neighborhood and see the magic of Christmas everywhere. Not just in the neighborhoods, in pubic areas, stores, etc. Nowadays, you almost, or at least I almost, have to go across town just to find a decent place of Christmas celebration. I no longer have that hype I had as a kid when Christmas comes around. I want to, but I don't. It's easy to sleep on Christmas Eve, the Holidays go by in the blink of an eye, and so does Christmas. Maybe it was just the adventurous, and innocent childhood, but I want to feel that way again. I love and cherish it. And I've asked for the old times before. My grandma asks me what I want for Christmas, and I simply say, "Family... I want the old days back, that's all". But everyone else doesn't seem to agree.

Anyway, obviously I got carried away, but my point is: Things just change, you know? And you're right, with a little work, great times can live a little longer... But everyone has to cooperate for that to work. And in these cases, not everyone is willing, or able to cooperate. Sometimes there's nothing you can do, just cherish the good ole days. I will say right now, nothing, NOTHING will compare to what UO or UT was like for this clan. I honestly don't believe any game coming out today will bring the clan together the way it did in those times, because it's just different times now. And if I am proven wrong in the future, I will happily admit it.
