❤ FAREWELL from MALLORY ❤

[Mallory {The Boss}]

Dear KITG,

The day has finally come... after six long years, I'm leaving the site.

Donation time has always been excruciatingly frustrating, but this

year has been exceptionally bad: I can never get answers from 

Dvhour because he is never around. I've been carrying the site for

four years now, doing 95% of the work and all I ask of Dvhour is for

him to handle the whole donation headache, but every year, I can

never reach him to get answers on how we're doing. We were supposed

to talk this weekend to figure out what to do with the site from here,

but as usual, he was not around and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get an answer

out of him. I have reached the end of my patience.

Even worse, only 56 people donated this year, with only 5 days left

before the deadline. 56 out of 8000 members!! Every year, we get

at least 100 loyal members to keep this site going, and even that is

pathetic, considering we have 8000 members. But, this...this is an

all-time low. I can't tell you how disheartening this feels to me. With

all the time and energy I put into this place, it is beyond insulting.

If only 56 people think this site, and my work, is not even worth a few

dollars, why the fuck are we here?? This tells me that it is time to go.

Whether or not you make the deadline, I am done here. I want to thank

all who donated the past five years and kept us online. I want to thank

all who shared their wonderful videos and pictures and stories because

we couldn't exist without your contributions. I want to thank the core

of the community, the dedicated who made this site a family...it was

you that I stayed for to make this site a HOME. And as utterly frustrated 

as I am right now with him, I want to thank Dvhour for trusting me to

run the site...I had some wonderful experiences because of it, and there

may be a couple more in the works ;) But most of all, I want to thank all

of you who shared your experiences and stories and lives...your hearts

and souls, with me...I stayed this long because of you.

I will leave this open for a week, until I leave. Please feel free to leave

any hellos or goodbyes, any final thoughts, good or bad...or say hi on

chat. I don't want this to be a somber last week...I want to celebrate 

it, so I will be answering any last questions and sharing my thoughts on

blogs, discussions, stories, etc. Let's make it a happy final week :)

Dear Mallory - Such a cool gal as you is damn hard to find in this fetish.  I hope somehow you change your mind, but understand if you need a break.  Please accept our heartfelt thanks for all you have done in the past.  Best of luck.  /  Low

[Mallory {The Boss}]

Like I said Low, it was the cold reality that only 56 people thought this site was worth a few

dollars to save it...hard to shake that. I thank the heck out those 56 -now 64- because they

did make me feel all the time & hard work was worth it. Thanks for donating & for your kind words :)

Hi Mallory,

It breaks my heart hearing U R going to leave the site.

it there a possibility to stay in touch?

do U have FB?

I wish you all the best luck. (I will miss you very badly)

greetings Frans Elmendorp

[Mallory {The Boss}]

Frans, you have always been a GREAT friend to the site! I thank you

so much for all that you shared and for helping us stay online. I do

not have fb, but you can leave me a msg with contact info. I wish

you the very best as well, my friend! :)

[Rigoletto Mobile]

I know you could care less about someone who would be classified as a leach like me because I can't afford site I only visit a few times a year but do dearly love so forgive me I ask not for myself though I am found on this other site more frequently and @Frans and @Mallory I suggest you both join FetLife and reconnect.  It's an absolutely wonderful site; like Facebook for the BSDM community of which I consider us a subset.

[Silent Warrior]

It's a fun site. I send something as soon as the message goes out yearly. Great job with the site, Mallory. You and your quick wit will be missed.

[Mallory {The Boss}]

Thanks SW...it's loyal, supportive people like you who keep us going! 

And hey, it was funnn :)

[Pointy Toe Pumps]

Sad. I give every year. So hard to keep if going I guess.  Tons of drama. Feel free to add my handle to the list. I am #34 - MDech... Aka Pointy Toe Pumps.

Ladies... I loved the chit chat, blogs.... And I dug the videos and pictures from everyone.

Hope this site survives. 

I will miss all of you... Stay in touch... Fizzoko@gmail. Com

[Mallory {The Boss}]

Well, the drama comes mostly just once a year :) Thanks PTP, I'll be sure to get your name up.

[Nuts for Grab]

Mallory, thanks for everything you have done here.  This is an amazing community and the only site I try to visit often.  I don't pretend to understand everything that goes on behind the scenes.  But if there are 8000 members can't there just be a fee of $1 per year.  Then you guys get a nice bonus every year and no headache of getting donations.  I can't see why anyone would complain about a $1 vs free site.  But i wish you all the best and i hope you change your mind.  You will be missed.

[Mallory {The Boss}]

Well, like I've mentioned, we came very close 2 years ago to going subscription because 

the donation period is always a knock-down, drag-out fight with me and DV every year.

We love each other dearly, but I wish you all could understand howww unbearable the

stress is, trying to beg people for money just so that we could keep this service up for

THEM! But as I've said, the logistics of going subscription would be too much and would

require more time, which we just don't have. And peeps can say, well bring in more

admins, but it's super hard to trust anyone else with your baby. Thanks for the kind 

words NfG...I am very proud of the community Dvhour and I built here, and I am happy

you found a home here - that was our goal, to make this a home for all the lovers of

this wonderful fetish :) I wish you the very best as well. ps: Always liked your avatar :D
