It's taken quite a bit of thinking on my part but I have come to the decision to close down Bates. It is a sad choice but one I had to make.
We’ve been open for nine - almost ten months - and it has been absolutely wonderful, but my motivation has been shot for a list of reasons I don’t want to discuss. I’m not entirely sure what to say other than, thank you.
You’re all incredibly sweet and I am thankful to say I have seen some amazing members around and I am lucky to have gotten the chance to write with all of you. I wanted to give a super big thank you to all of you who remained active, jumped at every chance you had to plot, and tried to make all members feel welcome. You’re super!
I may reopen at a later time after a large revamp but for now, the time for Bates has come to an end. Once again, thank you to everyone for being part of our group. And a big thank you goes to all members for making it so welcoming. I absolutely love you all and I hope all your future role-playing is beyond wonderful!
