TRR and its members have come a long way over the 3 years of its existence. Friendships have blossomed through the game, IRC, and the forums. TRR members have always confided in one another; details they'd seldom dare to share with many of their friends in real life. Girl/boyfriend issues, family hardships, and other difficult life-altering troubles have all been vented on these boards over time. A real sense of community and belonging has always persisted here, and for that, I'm thankful. It has achieved everything I had ever hoped it would, and much more beyond the game of RuneScape. It amazes me when I think about what a bunch of kids/teenagers/young adults have built here over the years. We've helped each other through a lot, and many of us have been able to witness the personal growth that's happened in each member over the years. Yes, there have been hard times in-clan and in real life for each of us; fortunately, the clan's community was generally the only constant that anyone could count on. Much of the past has consisted of laughter; when it hasn't, the place always managed to pull together.Recently, it's become apparent that neither RuneScape nor TRR's aging core of members is going to continue maintaining positive growth. When the game itself begins to show its age, the RuneScape-dependent communities can only follow suit.After over 3 years of sustained success, I've decided that it may be in our best interest to close TRR.I don't plan to renew the boards on December 4th.Many of you may not understand why I've come to the decision. Over the last few months, school has once again taken the usual activity toll on our clan. I have no doubts that TRR could/can easily overcome this, just as it always has. However, there comes a time when you need to move on and focus your energy elsewhere. The majority of our old members who have (and still are) running the clan no longer play RuneScape, or at the very least aren't active with it.There's still at least 1 week left before our invoice is due. Take the time to do what you will; say your good-byes, record old posts, take down your friends RSN's. If you wish to sway this decision, by all means, post your reasons here. However, understand that ultimately everything has to come to an end sometime.If you guys wish to continue, I have no problems with that. But, new members need to step-up. The only non-ancient member to take on leadership roles recently is Brad.
