Saw the blanket email sent out the other day, and it was definitely a disheartening read.
I haven't been active on Heresy for quite a bit, but I do remember how great the community was, both in terms of the effort and material that was put out by members, and the help received, in terms of both criticisms and advice, from the members that came before.
Due to said absence, I can't provide much feedback on what might have caused the current incarnation of Heresy to come about- but I can say that I'm sure it's not all lost. Just skimming through the forums reassures me of that.
So to you, and to all the mods, and all the users who keep Heresy afloat and great- keep up the good work.
