Every day I open a tab and log into Mene, and for hours it sits untouched until I log off. It used to be so lively here, and I guess... I've just been lonely. Is anyone around to chat?

After being absent for a while I decided to see if this place was still alive of some sorts. But it seems like things have quiet down so much.... It makes me sad.

Yeah, me too. I've been a member here so long... watching everyone slowly leave has been heartbreaking.

There's still a few of us clinging to the site. We generally lurk the hangouts a bit, but it is truly sad to see how quiet the site has gotten compared to how it used to be.

Agreed. I noticed they're not even doing events anymore- makes sense, with no one around, but it's sad. I wish I knew more people so I could invite them

Well, it seems there's no point in doing the events without any real way to implement more than a subforum for chatting. Knowing that this site is just here until the server funds run out... *shrug* I have my few rps and whatnot that I post in for now but it's safest to take everything off-site. Even though I used to care about this site so much, I find that I don't really anymore.

I don't think you could actually invite anyone anyway. If I recall, new user signup is one of the many broken features on Mene.

Yeah. Last time I did get someone to join not long after the server fuckery, a mod had to help with the email process. I think it's the email system as a whole that's broken so nothing goes through.

Ah, that really stinks. It hurts to know that it's only a matter of time until Mene is gone... this is the first place I ever roleplayed. I made friends here, nade memories, learned and grew as a person. I know I'll mourn it

Mene was my first forum site. I mean, I've been here for more than ten years. I'll always look back fondly, but I think I've finished mourning already. It's time to move on... ~le sigh~

Yeah, I'll be honest, I had been off Mene for so long that when I came back several years ago and it had gotten significantly quieter, I was already saying my goodbyes to the place. Then I took another year or so break and it was even more dead. And, having seen several other sites die already (or attempting to return from hiatus to find them gone already), this ending doesn't hurt me. It's sad that an era is ending, but...idk. I don't think I made any real significant connections with anyone either so it really doesn't get to me, emotionally, the way it does to a lot of people.
Back when I was first on sites, I was naive and a moody, emo teen/young adult. And now, well...now, none of the few friends I had back in the day are still on any of the sites that are still active so it's not a big loss for me. I've already lost any thin connections I had made, so now it's just a site to chat and have shallow conversations until it's gone.

Sorry, that got ranty and super bleak, but it's just kind of how I feel about it.

tldr; dying sites like Mene are sad, but not emotionally devastating to me because I lost all my friends from them years ago anyway.

I suppose deep down I'm the same. Ive been watching it slowly die for so long, I knew it was coming. The friends I made here have mostly cleared out and I haven't spoken to them in a long time. I guess for me it's more of a symbolic loss. This place was a significant part of my life, and played a large part in shaping the person I became. A lot of the friendships, fandoms and personal growth I've attained can be traced back to this site and the lovely people who taught me and were patient with me back when I was just a troubled teen looking for an outlet.

I have so many memorable event moments that were so fun for me because of the people of this site and the awesome event sticky threads. I always just enjoyed reading other people’s conversations too. There are definitely people I miss because they’ve left the site. I can’t believe the art forum was such a huge active area once too. I wish I could find/reconnect with some people...

I miss the art forum so much! T.T There's not even a real market for that kind of thing on any site anymore. I used to miss everything so much but I do at least want to post a few times when I see names I know so if we want, we can find a way to keep in contact. The problem is, there's not a lot of people left that I do know and most I already have friended somewhere else.

I'd certainly like to try and keep in touch with people if possible.

Do you use any other sites? I've put my info's in my sig for the few sites I do use. We rped quite a lot in the past so it would be cool if one day in the future we got the chance to do so again!

I am on KofK, I think I sent you a friend request there. Username is Beautiful Disaster. Beyond that I'm on tumblr occasionally,(gemini-the-kitsune-rp) but mostly I can be found on Discord (PokemaniacGemini (Jay)#4851)

*rolls back through*, ah, I used to be on KofK, but when I tried to log in recently, it said my account had been deactivated or something. So I can't get on there anymore.
I don't think I was ever that active there tbh, but the avatars are pretty unique and I liked them.

Not that I expect anyone to keep in touch, but if anyone wants to, I can be found mainly on Trisphee or Zantarni as Kaderin Triste.
Or Instagram. (Mother_of_Derpy)
Just. Idk. Throwing that out there just in case I guess.

Hai!

It has been /forever/ since I've really been active here, but it's not forgotten. Honestly I come back now and then but ya it's pretty quiet. Today talking to someone else spurred me to come check and I was wondering how long I'd been here and it's apparently been since 2010..... Eleven years now I've had my account...

Feels so weird to think, looking back on old stuff I feel so nostalgic but also some things make me cringe big time. I'm around and still writing, moved in part over to twitter mostly the last couple of years, but even that's not the best.... I miss the younger days of writing and chatting and this site honestly was a big part of my life back in the day. Holds a special place in my heart.
