Glass Asylum was an awesome message board. Sometimes it's good to re-start a community with just a few select people, even when the circumstances for the original splitting up of the community were very controversial. But we really did have something briliant going with the spirit of the formally united OWF, and I still think it could've evolved into something great.
But then again maybe it'd of simply died of it's own death in the end, 'cause the only thing that united us was friendship. And as we all know, internet friendships are all-too easily broken as people and thier lives change. After all, OWF still stands because it's a forum to talk about the activities of Oddworld Inhabitants. And they still do things from time to time, which gives everyone here something to talk about.
TGA's fate was that it was shut down a few months, maybe even a year (I can't remember) after its creation because Sydney couldn't be bothered to look after it anymore. She said she'd rather shut it down then to give control of it to someone else, which made everyone angry.
We didn't have anywhere to talk to each other anymore, so everyone who didn't keep in touch with each other by other means all lost contact. Hence the end of a sub community. :P
Fortunately for me and a few others, MSN helped us stay in touch. I'm still friends with many people I met here on OWF who also fled to TGA, even after all these years. Part of the early OWF & TGA community still lives on.
