Nah you aren't patronising hon you just saying it as it is, I've been disabled a long time, quite a bit of that housebound. This last few months though coming on here has been sapped of joy. I met my fiance, soon to be husband at Renderosity. Like you though I probably will head to there as well looking for a new home.

Not just about happy though, whether you were in mood to talk or not, having a bad day in pain, hearing the sounds in chat were sometimes just enough to let you know another person about, somebody cared enough to check you were ok, that you could join in or idle, it was still a place you just knew existed there for you.

Time for thoughts from a lot of quarters as I said, there are many more out there just like me who relied a lot more on this place than we ever said.

The fact that you met your future husband here must make Renderosity even more special to you, I am glad that you met though. All the best for the future.

I think most of the people I spoke to during my years as a volunteer were either housebound, very lonely or both. I learnt very quickly just how much impact simple call could have, the start of the call was often dark and difficult but many ended at least a little more upbeat and less dark. I was never ceased to be amazed by how some people could cope with a range of problems when I would not know where to begin to cope with just some of their problems.

I can only begin to imagine just how much forums mean to you but I do have some insight and it opened my eyes to the fact that, while the changes here dismayed me it had a much bigger impact on others. Seems a silly thing to say but sat here in solitude using some software to create our own world, if only briefly, it is easy to forget that for others, their worlds are very different.

I sincerely hope you find somewhere, anywhere, to replace what you have lost here at Rendo.
