I'm still finding this very difficult, seeing as it is the last thing that I will be writing for the site. I, the owner, have had a wonderful and amazing time over the last nine months, but I had originally thought that it would last longer. For some of you, this might be completely new information, others hints, and a select few heard the story from behind-the-scenes. I don't know how much I'm going to write here, but I am not aiming for it to be very long at all.
If you didn't already know, I put a very large amount of time and effort into the site, and look at what has become over this time. Now, you may think that all this hard work would be silly to just leave behind me. The truth is, that if I did carry on, I would have to put that same amount of work into it, and there is a lot of pressure to keep on going. Of course, I could do less, but I don't really want to continue if it isn't as good as it used to be.
The Christmas break made me realise. When I first stopped for the short amount of time, I still wanted to carry on. I kind of still do now, but I picture a life without it, and it seems so free. I enjoyed that break so much that it is actually very hard to get into it again. The break gave me an opportunity to end. Of course, no updates, like they said they would, occured just before the new year and into 2009, and I just left it. Now, I change my mind every ten minutes "Yes, I want to do it" ... "No, I can't do it".
This closure of the site is not an easy decision, but, at the moment, is a final decision. What has kept me crawling back are the many positive comments about the site. Thanks You so much to absolutely everyone who evryone who did this. It's also very hard to do this because it's so popular! I'm amazed at the number of visitors we had each day, and that just makes it all the more disappointing to stop. Oh, how do I thank everyone! Should I list the main people?

Adv, now that the site is closing i want to tell you that I love you and you are my best friend ever. xxx.
Bye Alex, best luck for the future. I have always loved the site, but I know how stressful it can be. I am actually, in the process, just like you were of deciding whether to close DWMO, as I just feel what am I getting out of it? Speak to you on MSN!

who is that 06 January 2009 20:13 that was not me adv
good luck in all things!
Hang on a sec... couldn't you continue, but instead of keeping it as a scheduled thing to do, just write posts when you want to? It doesn't have to be on a regular basis, maybe once a week or once a month or something. Because the content on the site is sooo good!!! Please consider it!!! :-) Happy New Year!
The true end of an era! ATTS has evolved so much and is the best it has ever been!
I wish you luck in the futur and hope everyhing goes great for you :)
