Samantha: I get that Blazeh, no worries. <3 The site is pretty dead, it was just me and 27th and we couldn't keep it going on our own. Apr 23, 2018 12:00:45 GMT

DaeSiggil: Oops, I know I haven't often helped by disappearing as I did. But still thinking about this place! <3 Apr 18, 2018 16:11:08 GMT

Verridith: Hey hon, love you guys but haven't seen anything happen since 2017 ;A; hope all are well! But have to remove you from BTACD's sister sites. I'm sorry! </3 </3 </3 Apr 6, 2018 12:22:38 GMT

Samantha: Exactly! It can be tricky, back home most of my friends are just from school, university or work. xD And it was lovely. They were all so lovely, the ones I was with spent the whole time talking about history, it was fun and edumacational. Sept 30, 2017 10:02:29 GMT

27th: Wow! You got to have dinner with the authors?

Making new friends is always nice. I know that struggle as I don't socialize like my peers. Sept 12, 2017 18:00:11 GMT

Samantha: that great at doing haha (I don't like going out to parties and stuff, which seems to be the main way people my age socialise.) Sept 11, 2017 23:11:00 GMT

Samantha: -looks at timestamp on last reply- Eeeek, apologies for the delay! But yeah it was AMAZING. My favourite author signed my favourite book, and we even had dinner with the authors one of the nights. Plus, I made some new friends, which I don't tend to be Sept 11, 2017 23:10:37 GMT

27th: That sounds very cool! I would have loved going to something like that.

Samantha: Was cool. Aug 19, 2017 21:10:39 GMT

Samantha: It just means 'science fiction and fantasy.' So it was a conference for authors of these things, and scholars who study them! Aug 19, 2017 21:10:27 GMT

27th: Glad you had a good time in Sweden! What is SFF? Aug 11, 2017 16:08:48 GMT

Samantha: Sorry for the disappearance. I was in Sweden for an SFF conference- it was pretty cool! Aug 11, 2017 10:48:27 GMT

Samantha: It's sad, yeah. We need more members to have more staff, we need more staff to keep the place active, and we need to have the place active to get more members. Sort of a vicious cycle. =P Jul 31, 2017 16:46:13 GMT

Samantha: The problem is that the main person who likes to run contests, Riv, also has a tendency to disappear. xD And I don't have the time and the energy to run this place proper on my own. Jul 31, 2017 16:45:38 GMT

27th: Yes, it is a lot of work. Though, I agree it could be worth the effort. As far as contests go, we've tried them here at DotE before. I don't know how well any of them worked but we it couldn't hurt to try. Jul 30, 2017 5:53:42 GMT

R: Could try a contest? Jul 29, 2017 4:40:04 GMT

shadow: Well. Yea. That also is a lot of work. It would be worth it though Jul 28, 2017 4:12:51 GMT

27th: Well, recruitment would be key to that. Contacting the members we already have to try and get them to participate here would also be part of that. Jul 26, 2017 15:52:29 GMT

shadow: I wonder what would happen if we tried to make it alive again Jul 25, 2017 19:48:19 GMT
