As many of you know Elliot, Gray and many of us early cascaders came from herorealm, well now it's closing. It will be up until April 30th. Until then I urge all current and former realmers to say goodbye to the site. herorealm.com/hrboards/index.php?topic=7279.0 |

Yeah, SPS, it's a sad announcement indeed. I heard about it. It's really a shame.  The past aside, it was my online home at one time and I still look back at it fondly. But more than that, I feel sad for the people who frequent and enjoy it. I'd hoped it could be a place of good times for those left behind. My best wishes to the people still there. I hope life after HR will be good to them. |

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a 'phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end
It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand - friends will be friends - right till the end
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos right till the end - friends will be friends

Which does bring up a good point. Those of you who are still at HR, please do NOT use its imminent closure to direct people here as an alternative. While all newcomers are welcome and always will be, I do not wish to be picking clean the corpse of an old friend - a concept I find frankly obscene. I think just about everyone at HR knows we are here by now. It's hardly a secret, with so many people who are members of both sites. If the rest wish to join us, I'm sure they will find their way here without pointers. At the very least, HR deserves our consideration. Thank you all for understanding  |

It really is a shame. Though since I'm going to build a website for my stories over the weekend (I hope) can I provide a link to the cascade there? Then people will find here on their own if they don't know about it. It's all subtle like and subtle is good correct?

Of course that's fine, SPS Don't forget to let the Cascaders know where to find your new site, too I have no problems with any ethical method of promoting the Cascade, I assure you |

Since I got my paper done early today I'm going to probably start work on it now. At least get the main site up, and link to the boards |

Sorry about the double post, but you know what the hardest part of HR closing is? Making my new website. I feel that once it goes live I'll be saying goodbye to Herorealm forever and I HATE saying goodbyes. My chest just gets all bound up and whatnot, can't explain it.

Welcome back, Shark. Good to see you back around again. And yeah, that's about what it feels like. Even after we've long since moved out, there's still those fond memories... |

Hey, Jags, did you write the poem? Sorry to hear about HR closing its doors. I was never there, but I know it holds alot of memories, some good some bad, for you guys. Elliot, I like what you said. It makes me glad I am a member of a forum created by someone who cares. Thank you. |
