I’m not going to renew the domain or web hosting in April. I think that’s final.

It has been an absolutely amazing couple of years having this freedom. Being able to learn about and use PHP and MySQL, having a hellofalot of webspace to use for whatever I want, all of the people I’ve met because of having this domain… I will be sad to see it go. But, everything has to end sometime, right? I just have no use for this anymore. I don’t play TCGs, I’m not in the Q*Bee, I hardly ever have time to blog… it really would be best if I stopped wasting my parents’ money. I’ll probably continue having a place to ‘blog’, but it’ll be one of the free sites, like Blogger or Wordpress. I’m going to point all emails to my old gmail account which I find myself checking nearly every day again now after… well, for some weird reason, anyway. And I’m going to make myself forget all the fun I used to have with html, ftp, php etc. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to use any of it again, and although I’m sad, I really don’t need it these days.

It’s been great, really it has. But I really don’t see how I could get fully interested in this domain again now. I’m not even a massive fan of the whole Forgotten-Twilight thing anymore. It’s so… well, I thought of it when I was fourteen, so maybe that gives you some kind of idea of what I mean. Maybe one day I’ll think of a more appropriate domain name. If I ever get that far again, that is.

I really miss this place, but at the end of the day, I see no reason to keep it going. I’ll probably keep myself in this ‘world’ and keep checking all the blogs I like etc, so some of you may still see me around occasionally. But otherwise, after April 4th F-T will be no more. I would close it earlier, but a) they’ve just taken money out for another 3 months, b) I might change my mind by April, haha and c) April is when the domain runs out anyway, so may as well make sure they’re both gone at the same time. It’s easier that way.

I might have something to say before then, but if not, thank you to everyone who has been reading my blog over the two years. It has all been so worthwile to know that people still check up, even though I’m a useless blogger.

God, I feel like putting on a ceremony or something. F-T has been such a big part of my life, I swear. Going to feel weird without it.

Oh well. Onwards and upwards.

    It’s sad to see you go, but you’ve listed perfectly valid reasons as to why you are letting go of this domain. Best of luck with everything! :)

    Hey Aimee long time no talk uhhh remember how I said I was gonna send you something? It got ruined and I haven’t had time to make a replacement XD I do still want to try and get it to you sometime in the next couple of months so if you get unexpected mail it’s from me :)

    Also sad that you’re going to be leavings stuff. I’ve been feeling about the same with all of my little online hobbies – but I have nothing else to really do here so meh. I’m thinking about changing my domain names and opening up a shop so that’s kind of exciting for me I guess.
