Yea, it was sad to see it closed. At its peak my group had about a thousand members and also ran about 1000 messages/week. It was just too much for a pet project even though we had several "taggers" doing most of the graphics work. By the time MSN shut it down, it was just a shell of what it used to be. It can burn a person out as it did to me. For me the fun is building the site up and not so much the graphics part. As I was cleaning the site out before closing, went through many albums created by members and brought a tear to my eye wondering where they were now. A lot of friendships were created and lost there.
Awww that's a shame but I can appreciate the burnout you speak of as well. I ran my own community before with a couple of hundred members and while it was nowhere near the size of yours, it did take over my life. Really that was why I closed it in the end, too many wanted too much of me but not to contribute much effort themselves. It had also got where cliques had formed and I detest that, so that was another reason to pull the plug. When you spend all day working on it and all night dreaming you're working on it like I did, it's time to find some balance lol. I do miss some of the friendships too though. Hopefully they'll all find you again and want to help at this new one. :)
