You want an explaination?
DOOOOD! Wake up! -___- We have LIVES! We have Jobs, School, Pets.. you know the real deal that NEED US rain or shine. Do you know how old I am?! Kahlah can no longer sit on her butt like the world is going to go in slow motion so she can plop down at forums anymore. I'm almost 24! O___o That is sooooo almost 1/4 of a Century!! Staff is getting older, life is giving us responsiblities that some of you can barely even imagine. I want my Bachelor's Degree in Science (Which actually goes for my Media Arts & Animation). You know... I graduated from High School in 2001! I should have been finished college!
There's my reason. I'm getting older and I want something done in my life. Milling around the forums (as much as I luff some of you and others sometimes I want to beat with a stick) It just won't do that.
LIFE is important to me I don't want to be like 50 and don't have anything to say for my life's accomplishments. I don't care who the heck takes me for granted just know this - taking something for granted can be a deadly mistake.
NUFF SAID

So get new mods? Ones who have time to deal with the forum and their lives? I never said that you -didn't- have lives, but just because some Mods don't want to do the job anymore is not a solid excuse for closing a forum. You move on, and someone else takes your place. So anyway, goodbye then. It just seems a huge waste to close something down after years of good service and a huge membership base solely because you don't have time. There are other ways, whether you want to admit it or not.

Well, if there is another one, may I be a mod? That would be so awesome.

Hey, I'm not fighting, I'm just saying. And if it is true, you picked a -stupid- date to announce it. Would it have killed someone to announce it a day earlier or later?

Let's face it, the APKC is doomed.

Look at it this way...
Turns out the forum is shutting down? Members are forced to leave.
Turns out this was a joke? Members are too ticked to stay.
Lose/lose situation.

Unfortunately New "Mods" Is something we cannot just up, jump, go yay! and do. It is not our word, will or any of that good stuff. There is only one and I do mean ONE person who has absolute and total command to say "Appoint New Overall Staff" and it's Lesley. I've got half a mind not to call Moomy and ask her about the judgement to keep this place open or not.
I promised a few others I would make that call because they love the forums that much. If it is said to be shut down after the phone call, then I'd say it's time some of the "Younger" people who keep blabbing away about "New younger staff" to face the music. Oh yea just because you're younger doesn't mean you'll be able to "Handle" the stress load that comes with the "shiny" title.

*cough*
Younger does not always mean age differences.
Younger in this case refers to people who have not been members as long as others.
I'm 23 years old, so...yeah.

>> This is getting out of hand. If this is a joke, tell us, now, seriously. If this isnt a joke, and you are actually closing down, you are just going to make people mad.

EDIT;;
Like Caitie said, Lose/Lose situation.

I believe Linsey has made the right choice!
We mods have been talking about this for some time now, and frankly I'm relieved to see it's finally happening. I have wasted SO many hours on this forum. I really need to start focusing on my schoolwork if I want to do well next year and get into college. Plus I have my job, and 4-H, and my friends, and loads of other commitments.
The forum absolutely won't be the same if we get all-new mods. There are plenty of other petz forums around. I'm sure you can all find a new home. Or heck, make your own.
The best things in life don't last forever..
To all the doubters.. so what if it happens to be April Fool's Day? It's just the first of the month, like the first of any other month. You'll all believe us in a week.
Ta-ta.
