The Charmed by Charmed 'Stay Open'

This petition is for CharmedbyCharmed members only.

Quote from Martijn [Webmaster]-
"Hey CBC'ers..

It saddens me that I even have to think of this, but my life is just so incredibly hectic right now...

Here it goes.

I'm thinking about closing CBC prematurely...
I was hoping we'd last until the end of Season 8 or the end of Charmed, but by the looks we won't last until mid Season 8...

Our visitorcount is down by 50\% on the mainsite !
CBC Boards, which I thought was invincible, which I thought would last forever, is dying too.
Our oldest members are leaving us for other things.
What started with 1 member taking a short 1 month hiatus, turned out to be the start of a whole array of people taking hiatus'.
Some of them take took these breaks a few months ago and still haven't returned.

I've seen so many quality members/friends leave, it breaks my heart...
Orbs Encircle and Josh and even Laura just said goodbye for good ....
I understand that people have outside lives that are time consuming, though So don't feel bad if you feel the urge to leave.

But if this pace keeps up and no changes show in visitor rate or member registrations or posts, etc.. I'm gonna have to close CBC.
I'd rather close it prematurely while it still has some members that'll miss it, than close it later when nobody will even notice it's gone.

And life is so hectic for me, I've got so much on plate, I'm really breaking down. School is tough, basketball training is heavy, other projects require daily attention. .. etc..
Like I said earlier, some of the most active members have been inactive for quite some time, pursueing new hopes and interests.
A lot of these members were also staff.
People who made it possible for me to combine CBC with other things..
Now that so many have left, I can't do it alone...

Hereby I'm doing one last call for new staff or old staff to return.
If enough people help me and visitorcounts go up again, CBC can stay open for another while.
Or else I'll have to close up CBC;If I don't have to worry about CBC, I'll have quite some more time, but...CBC has been a baby of mine. I started everything from scratch, spending probably over 1000 hours working on it.
I've made so many friends, some who I don't even have contact with outside CBC.
And it would pain me to close and delete everything I and my friends worked on here.

Some things I wanted were never realised, other things were.
But I'll never forget some of the friends I made here, no matter what happens.

CBC's had a decent run, it's time for you to decide "Is it time to say goodbye to CBC ?"

Sincerely,

~Martijn."

This is very sad, and we of CbyC would like to keep this website open. Sign, and we will be very proud of the Charmer who signed! :D
