You know, UGS is a bomb.  I just don't have the will to start up another site.  I really don't think I thought it through when I said I was gonna start up a general gaming site that's community oriented. I've wasted quite a bit of money trying to get that all started up, but now I just think it isn't worth going through with.

In the process of thinking of ways to get UGS off the ground, I completely shafted TAC.  This was a site that was the heart and soul of many users; A lot of people have put work into this site.  Lesley was the resident genius when it came to Lufia games, Ash made this awesome layout all by herself, and has an amazing talent for graphical work especially for someone declared legally blind, and the content this site put out was gradually improved from the rush job that I put together some five and a half years ago.  Forums were created, converted, restarted, and a lot of stuff went on.  Behind this site was a huge community, and when UGS came, and I wanted to use IPB with this and closed the forum down on the consensus of some other users, the community disappeared.  All that this site was is gone.

Honestly, I truly regret the whole decision to try to get something going with UGS.  In the end I figure out for my own skill level that it would be impossible for me to create the site I wanted to make unless I stole Chris' half-finished GamingMoz code. (As if that would've done me any good.)  Just today I was thinking to myself, "screw UGS; I want to move my whole forum back to TAC, reconfigure it, and try to restore the community I loved and cherished so much for four and a half years."  Unfortunately, though, I don't know if that's still possible.  The move away to UGS killed the community as we already are, and now a lot of our old members are in different stages of their life.

Even despite those facts, I'm seriously thinking of just forgetting about UGS, move the forum, (without any data loss) and just continue with TAC.  As much as the series is dead, there's always some sort of hope there and a fanbase that is always trying to stay together.  I honestly don't know what the status is of other fansites of its kind, such as Lufia World and Forfeit Island.  (Those two sites plus TAC are the only sites still listed on the series' Wikipedia articles)

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do at this point, but right now I'm really banked on just moving everything back to TAC.  Whatever decision I make I can only hope that whomever remains of this community is willing to back me up.
