Hi Erick! Thanks for the enthusiasm. I know I'm jumping in a little late on
this, but I agree with you. I don't think castle is dead at all! I've seen
some wonderful creations around here as of late. While it may never be as
busy as the "olden days", that's probably just because I've shut my mouth a
little bit, hehe! High spirits are all we need, and just because some of us
have left or stopped posting, does not mean anyone else can't take the torch
and pass it on. Positive attitude is the kind of thing to get it going! Why
not create a *new* story site, or offer to help out Richard Marchetti with
reviving CW? Think about it. There's a whole folder of castle.org that can
be full of organizations, CW doesn't have to be the only one!
So keep up the positive outlook, Erick. New people --> new energy --> new
ideas! Just because some of the old posters left does not mean the new ones
can't pick up where we left off.
