Hey,

I've just read some of your postings about Temple of Tales and I was wondering why you've been getting so angry about it. I understand that you don't like the layout, and that some of the tales don't appeal etc. And not for a minute would I even suggest that your opinion is wrong. All I'm wondering is what makes you throw barbed comments in with your well formulated opinions? Surely, all that does is encourage people to disregard what you're saying and get their hackles up. There used to be a guy called Groo that posted here and he was very volatile in his opinions and people ended up rallying against him and I've not seen hios post here for a while.

As far as I could see the ffforum's future was never in much doubt, but it had been kind of quiet etc. and I could see Micah's point in asking.

Just wondering?

: I don't want to get off on a rant here, the fan fiction forum has slown down a bit recently due to the fact that all the constant writers have kept busy with school work and, well, work work, myself included. While it's obviously overdue for a major explosion of creativity, it's also a pillar of Indyfan.com from back when people posted their fan fiction on the forum, and many writers, myself included, are devout to it, and will probably discontinue their works should they be forced to trek over to the (ALERT, OPINION, ALERT!) intangently thrown together Temple of Tales. However, all hope is not lost, as the Fiddler, a mildly responsabibible and modestly dependabibible contributor to the forum, has volunteered to carry the Indyfan.com fan fiction forum torch for Micah. Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. So, today's neato and excrutiatingly unoriginal little poll question is:

: In your eyes, should Micah shut down the fan fiction forum, give it to the Fiddler or keep it running?

: Personally, I'd be fine if Micah kept it running or Fiddler took it over, but I friggin' don't want to deal with Roy's site, but that's an entirely another rant, so what's your opinion, Indyfan? Give me a reply by posting to this thread.
