It is with extreme regret that I make this decision, but with dwindling participation in entries, voting, and comments, I feel I must permanently close this community. This community has been strong for many years, but the interest in Ouran contests seems to have really died down in recent months. I confess that I even have lost interest, and I've ( Read more... )

Reading this made me sad, but I can totally understand why you're doing it. I think it's the most reasonable reaction for dwindling interest. All I can say is that I've had a lot of fun here and I'm sure lots of other members could say the same.

Thanks for being such a great mod all these years.

Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed the community. :)

Thanks for all the fun times, even though I'm a relatively new member I had fun while it lasted. Thanks for all your hard work.

You're welcome. And thanks for entering in the contests!

While this makes me very sad to hear, I can understand your reasoning. It seems people are starting to lose interest and it's always sad to see. This community has years and years of memories for me. I'll always remember the tense times right before deadlines when I wasn't finished and the thrill of winning one of your gorgeous banners <3 I'll miss this place a lot. Now I'll have to find a new way to spend my free time XD

By the way, would you mind if I posted prompts here now and then? Not for contests, but just little prompts to help people with writer's block and whatnot?

Thanks so much for all your hard work for all this time <3 I'll always think fondly on the times this comm was up and running.

Thank you!

And you're more than welcome to post prompts here if you feel inspired! Go for it! Maybe you'll get some people interested. :)

Thank you for all that you've done with this comm! I have had the pleasure of popping in whenever the muse strikes, and have encountered many wonderful stories here. So I'm glad you're keeping this up for the precious archive. :) That said, I hope we do see new stories from time to time. Good luck with everything on your end as well!

You're welcome and thanks! It's been great. I'll miss this place and all the great works here. :)

Thank you so much for keeping this community running for as long as you did! I regret not participating in the last several months, but I just kind of fell out of the fandom. I had a blast while I was here, though, and I'll miss it like crazy. You guys are all fabulous!
