That's a pretty apt metaphor for what I feel about these social-networking neighborhoods and the disappearance of members. The times have certainly changed, but I still find these sites (the Ark in particular) to be worthwhile.<br />
<br />
I'm glad you're here, Susan.

The departure (without explanation) that caused the most anguish for me was when monizzle2 left, and later when mopthefloor left. I'm back in touch with Mo on another site now, but she really knew how to leave a void in her wake.

Very Nice!<br />
I was sad for a long time when I decided to close my account there. I just could not support it anymore. When I first got there I WAS NOT going to make videos and the more videos I watched the more I had to make one. My channel alone was nothing really but, I do miss the "Redneckdramacircle" and all of it's players.<br />
I had a blast making videos as BubbaRay...and having my family involved and Wendy and Ernie and a few others. It was a great channel and it was part of LV.<br />

I have tried to put Redneckdramacircle on other sites and we even have our own Ning site...but, it isn't like it was on LV. All of the new videos are posted on "ontheairtv" and "Youtube"...Those places are NOTHING like the community like LV use to have.<br />
Now all of us are spread apart going into our own cliques(like here, moarvideo and I am sure a few others). We had them over at LV too but, we can still see each others stuff without looking for peoples videos on 20 different sites.<br />

That was absolutely lovely, and really captures how many of us feel about LV, as did Sara's blog. It was a special kind of camaraderie at LV that existed because of the kind of site it was, i.e., it really drew a diverse crowd in which we all somehow found common ground. The Ark, while certainly serving its purpose, simply doesn't appeal to everyone across the board like LV did.<br />
<br />
I miss it too.

Definitely captured what was there for a time, Susan.<br />
<br />
Ya know, it wasn't ever perfect- even while we were laughing it up or deep in collaboration there was always bullshit happening around us that we had to keep stepping around in order to continue to have fun, but there was a good year and a half that was, for me anyway, a magic time. It felt like something very wonderful at the time, but now- in retrospect, it's become something of a dream.<br />
<br />

<br />
Many of the same folks are here, so it's not like that spirit is not still with us, but there was an excitement around the novelty of it- to connect with people from different corners of the world...and to pull off some of the collaborations we did...or to just feel a part of something where it was an online "bar" of sorts...that was pretty special.<br />
<br />
Here at the Ark- it's great, but it's just a different speed and a different interior- more like a casual lounge than a raucous bar. lol Susan , how beautifully you h…tag:lovevideoplayhouse.ning.com,2009-09-15:2426069:Comment:665942009-09-15T14:53:32.945ZSurfcottagehttps://lovevideoplayhouse.ning.com/profile/Sufcottage
Susan , how beautifully you have described the feelings of many of us , i think... mine for sure!!! LV was/is like a home of sorts to me, and when people i had grown fond of just "left".. it WAS a personal loss,and it HURT.If that makes me overly sentimental.. .well so be it.<br />
I dont feel that one needs to EXPLAIN one's departure in detail... but a quick " goodbye, I need to go now".. sure does a lot to help with that loss......Exquisitely written!! xoxoxoxoxooo
