Dear Readers,

First, thank you so much for all these wonderful years
we've shared here at Kongming's Archives -- I will never
forget them. They will always serve as an inspirational
reminder of the good that exists in all people.

That being said, after considering matters carefully,
I've decided to close Kongming's Archives forever. This
is not due to any fault of you, our reader, but rather
due to people I once counted among my dear friends at
our forum, the Scholars of Shen Zhou.

You see, on March 15th, Kong Wen and Lady Wu, co-admins
and once-dear friends, repeatedly suspended my account.
At first I thought it a joke, but when they started trying
to lock me from the server, reality set in and I gave up.
I no longer felt welcome. Kong Wen then established some
Republic Dictatorship, banned my dear friends Rhiannon
and Lion's Mane, ousted Lady Wu (no trust among thieves)
and even removed Sun Gongli for attempting to facilitate
my return and supporting rebellion. Kong's key supporters
are now lessthanpleased and Jimayo, more former friends.
Others such as secrecy and DynastyWarriors6 still call
for my return, but I fear their words are being wasted.

I'm now going to devote myself to my other passions,
such as my family and writing. I may create a new site
dedicated to something completely different, and everyone
will be welcome to join if it suits their fancy.

For now, you can still access Kongming's Archives.
And if you wish, feel free to write me.

May happiness always find you,
- James Peirce
