I've been doing a lot of research (I hope my boss doesn't read this), a lot of thinking, and a lot of talking to friends about AL. The result is that I am going to let the site go.
What decided me for sure was discovering that the site really requires a dedicated server or VPS, and even if I found one which I could afford, the technical expertise required to run it is far beyond me.
I hate to do it. AL has been around so long, and there are so many people who love it! On the other hand, there are other things in my life that I'd like to focus my attention on, such as my writing. So although I'm really sad, I believe I'm making the right choice.
However! I do not want to give up all my friends from AL, nor - of course - my fascination with animation. The AL forums WILL be restored (soon!) and, I hope, stay active.
To all of you - the folks who have been with me all these years, and those new folks with your fresh enthusiasm - I can only say, I'm sorry, and thank you for making me feel like a special person and for helping to create the little web-world of AL. As I have often said, y'all are wonderful.
