There was a time, many months ago, when I could check my computer every five minutes, and there would be a new comment on this blog. Then, things started to slow down--but still, we got about eight or nine comments a day. Then it was eight or nine comments a week. A month. And now...nothing. It doesn't matter if the most amazing episode of The Clone Wars EVER, with more Ahsoka-action than any of us could have dreamed comes on, because no one remembers this little blog anymore. I can't tell you how many Fridays I've spent watching the Clone Wars, than jumping on to the computer, sure that my inbox will be flooded with comments from you guys about the amazing episode--but what greets me instead is nothing, nothing at all. It makes me feel lonely and sad. I thought--perhaps naively so--that this blog that we all started together would last forever. Obviously not.
So I'm shutting this blog down.
I'll keep the page up, of course, as a tribute to Ahsoka, the greatest of all the Jedi. And I won't restrict commenting--if any of you happen to come by, please do comment, so that I know that you're still out there.
But in essence, the Council of Ahsoka is dead.
We've fallen. In many ways, we've failed our hero, the namesake of our group. I hope that you are all out there, fighting Ahsoka-haters on your own. Although we were stronger in numbers, I do not doubt that you are all making an effect out there on the internet, defending Ahsoka Tano. I hope I do not sound patronizing when I say this, but I am personally very proud of you all. There are many haters out there, but you've stood proudly against them all, and defended your opinions. You have made a difference.
For that, I thank you.
And...I thank you for all the joy you've given me, knowing that I am not alone. You guys are truly the best internet community I've ever known. I'll miss your company. But then, I already do miss it.
Perhaps, one day, our paths will cross again. Until then, goodbye.
Your friend,
TARDISjedigirl
That's just sad. You should inform people of this blog and start the New Council! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should come back to StarWars.com! Or maybe stay here but inform people on StarWars.com that you are bringing the life back to your blog! :D Don't give up yet!
ReplyDeleteoh, please don't go. ur such a wonderful person to talk with. if your certain this is wht u want then i will stand next to you in your desicion. but, promise me u'll always be around. hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, JEDIGAL, FOREVER!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think part of the reason why I started coming here less was because there really hasn't been any hate on Ahsoka on SW.com like there was last season.
ReplyDeleteIf you go and check it out, I think you'll find that it's a pretty nice place to be, with the new layout of the website and all. If you come back I'd love to talk to you about anything Star Wars and of course Ahsoka :)
If you'd rather not, I completely understand and as you said, I hope out paths cross from time to time.
May the Force be with you. Always :)
i haven't been able to sign up to comment on starwars.com which is why I've always loved coming here. Then everybody stopped commenting. So sad your shutting this down.
ReplyDeleteThis is Obi-Wan here, Annabeth, I'm sorry I haven't been commenting on the Council. Truly I am.
