Important: The End
 
Hello all,

I am afraid that this is bad news. Pixies-Place can no longer continue in its present form. This is due to several reasons, some personal, but mainly financial.

It seems that maintaining a good quality free adult site is very hard to do nowadays, and due to some neglect of traffic duties over the past 8 months by me, the site is no longer viable.

Surffice to say that I have had a great deal of fun creating Pixies-Place, and then recreating again and again, such that it has grown into the "mega-site" that you all enjoy today. For those that either remember, or are interested, it all started over 4 years ago, so all in all I think it has had a good run.

So I would like to say a big thank you to all that have helped with the site, through contributions of stories, pictures or your own personalities and of course to all those moderators and collaborators which have done so much over the years!

Anyway you all have a bit of time left so swap your email details with all the friends you have made here, and download all your favourite pictures and stories to enjoy in the future.

I am very sorry that Pixies-Place has to go and I know it means so much to so many of you and all I can do is apologise. The live chat room will be running here indefinitely though.

So long and thanks for all the fish.....

Kim

REALLY sorry to hear this Kim........ bit of a "bolt from the Blue", to say the least!!

If the main reason is financial, I for one would be happy to pay a fee to stay here; if the "personal reasons" are more pressing than you've intimated...... well, I'll just add my appreciation of ALL the wonderful people I've met here, and wish you, personally, all the very best!

Slainte babe...... DM383

Christine 07-07-2003 05:00 AM

It's so strange...I've been having a feeling for quite some time that this was going to happen.

Very sad news indeed.........:(
So many friends I've made, so much I've learned...I'm going to miss Pixies more than I can even begin to express.

hellsbells 07-07-2003 05:01 AM

I am so sad.
I am with dm383, and I am sure that many Pixies feel the same, could we not survive if we all chipped in???????

Sharni 07-07-2003 05:16 AM

*is majorly lost for words at this time*

Bilbo 07-07-2003 05:28 AM

Thank you kim for the last four years, it is the family that I will miss, but it really is the family that you have brought together.
I know Sharni has been involved in the very early sites and has followed every time that the site was move and recreated over the years,
Thank you so much for allowing us all to finds eachother and in many cases to find ourselves, I'm sure that the closeness of members will endure, and with that we can find some small grace that the heart of pixies will never die. thank you kim, you will remain the Den Mother to us all.

OUCH! Now thats a kick in the guts with the back end of a bus!

Im really depressed now

GusAspar 07-07-2003 06:11 AM

Thanks, Kim
 
Sad news, Kim, and thanks for all you've done. Would it be "not the done thing" to draw people's attention to a rather similar site, to which they could switch allegiance after you close?

GusAspar 07-07-2003 06:14 AM

Silly me... Literotica is, of course, on your links page!

David 07-07-2003 06:18 AM

This is a very sad piece of news Kim. I for one am very saddened by this news. I have been here since May 2001 and will very much miss Pixies. Pixies' had become a daily place to go and get away from the maddening crowd. If a fee would keep her going, I would be one to put forth some monies. All the people here at Pixies will be sadly missed.
Love to all
David

fzzy 07-07-2003 06:26 AM

Thank you Kim for all you've done to keep things going for so long .... sad to see things happen this way, but grateful for the chance I've had to spend time at Pixies so far. Do you have a set end date that you can tell us? thanks!!!!!

Grumble 07-07-2003 06:44 AM

Oh dear what sad news.

I appreciate you providing this place, it has brought me a good deal of enjoyment, wonderful fellowship and some life long friends.

many hugs and Kisses Kim

IAKaraokeGirl 07-07-2003 06:50 AM

Oh, no! This is awful! (Scurries off to join the Yahoo group...)

2-4-tea 07-07-2003 06:57 AM

Kim, thank you for so many fond memories .I am sorry to see pixies go this has been a wonderful place to have so much fun.

MilkToast 07-07-2003 07:05 AM

WOW! I guess I sort of wondered if this would ever be the case... I have seen it happen to a few other sites as well and was hoping Pixies would be around. A sad day for me (and a lot of others here I am sure).

Kim, thanks very much for providing a site like this for as long as you were able. This is one of the few places where I have found adult conversation that did not come down to name calling and bashing other people. It truly was (is) a wonderful site with some very great participants and some people that I would not mind having as friends!

Teddy Bear 07-07-2003 07:06 AM

I heard from a friend on Yahoo IM this morning that Pixies was closing up. I couldn't believe it and had to run right over and read it for myself.
And now that I have I still can't believe it.

Thank you to all the Pixies I've had the privilege of meeting, talking to, sharing thoughts with, and for being such wonderful people.

Keep in touch with emails or IM's. grrrrrr I am still in denial. Maybe I'll wake up soon & everything will be ok ???......

Love you guys!!
*hugs & kisses* Teddy

Casperr 07-07-2003 07:23 AM

No way!!!!

We CANNOT let this happen...... there must be SOMETHING we can do, surely?? make it a pay site, even..... hell I'm happy to pay $50, $100 a year for this, not a problem at all! AND that's US money, too!

I'm dead serious. There's gotta be some way to keep this site alive. This will change the lives of so many people it's unbelievable. I refuse to believe it's simply going to fall over and die out of the blue like this.

ARGH

Fucking..... fucking ARGH!

This is waaaaay to shocking for me. Shit!

OK, I say we make it a pay site, all those in favour of saving Pixies raise your hands or, well, anything ;)

Madmax - will this have any effect on the chat?

Kim, you have been fantastic to us, and we are all deeply grateful and indebted to you for not only building this fantastic site, but for constantly contributing to it and keeping it going even when things got rough. Thankyou for everything. And sorry to hear about the personal problems you mention - all our hearts and prayers go out to you. If there's anything we can do, name it. It shall be done.

To all the friends I have made here, right around the room, thankyou for being the most honest, caring, funny, intelligent, fun, down-to-earth people I have had the joy to know. Please, let us keep in contact despite this.

It has been a huge honour and delight to be a part of this site for just over a year.... I hope that something can be arranged, some sort of comprimise, and I can continue to have this honour and privelige.

There HAS to be something we can do. I refuse to believe that 16,000 people can just have their lives changed with such dire consequences as simply as this. Can we make it a pay site? Can someone else take over the hosting side of things? Can we shift half of it over to yahoo groups, or MSN, or something like that?

Let's not give up and quit, let's work out something to do!

CasperTG
In absolute, total, complete shock and horror.

Bilbo 07-07-2003 07:26 AM

CasperTG, your not alone in thinking that, I'm sure most of the active members would be glad to pay to keep our famliy together, Myself and Sharni most definatly...BUT......
It has to be kims call...all we can do is hope and pray...............
for Kim....... and for all of us!

Oldfart 07-07-2003 07:40 AM

Shit!!

FussyPucker 07-07-2003 07:45 AM

Well bugger me!
Having owned a few websites over the last 6 years I know how much time and money it can suck up.
I'd like to thank you for a wodnerful place that's kept 1000's of people entertained and happy for so long. I've made some wonderful friends here who I'll keep in touch with :D

On a more important note I would like to say and EXTRA BIG thank you to you kim for this site as it's here that I met Loulabelle.

Pixies-place may die but the spirit of the Pixies will live on !!!!

RandyGal 07-07-2003 07:51 AM

I would be willing to chip in as well to help continue this wonderful connecting spot for people.

I hope something can be worked out in the near future to take some of the financial pressure off Kim, but if not....I'll just say


THANKYOU to her, for creating a fantastic site filled with warm, caring, funny, NICE people.


Thankyou Kim!

hellsbells 07-07-2003 07:52 AM

My hand's up Casper, and all my friends and neighbours, going round the streets now getting ppl to raise there hands!!!

PLEASE PLEASE KIM......LET US HELP!!!!!

madmax67 07-07-2003 08:06 AM

The chat room will remain open and free for you all to use. If Kim needs to close this site down, I will set up a java chat page for those who need a webchat. I for one (and I know I speak for many others) will do my best to make sure what pixies-place gave life does not die, even if it takes a new form.

Wrx`Gal 07-07-2003 08:06 AM

really enjoyed by days here

Salute to KIM

Steph 07-07-2003 09:24 AM

We'll always have smut games! <sniff>

Kim, I hope you can see the impact you've made on this little corner of the Web. Lots of friends and lovers met here. How many jokes have been made?

We truly appreciate all your work and wish you well in the future.

Cobalt 07-07-2003 09:33 AM

Kim, you have done a wonderful job on this site, but sometimes things happen that we do not have controll over, I'm sure that this is one of them. In deepest appreciation I thank You for the work that you have done to keep this site up and running. Also is there something we can do, like someone else take it over as to the personal reasons, or what would it cost to make it a pay site? Please PM me as per any details as to what if anything can be done. Again Thank You for the time and effort you have put into this site for all of us, and to all those who have helped with it. It was an enjoyable experiance to have had the oppertoonity to have met and shared with everyone here. I now bow my head in sorrow.

Bardog 07-07-2003 10:11 AM

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Don't know what to say.
I do agree with Casper there just has to be a way to keep this site going. Damn sure gonna miss all the crazy people here. When is the last day? Will all of the post be archived somewhere to read at a later time?

Kim
I would like to ditto everyones comments about all your work and efforts to make this place what it is. It is truly a very unique and special spot on the web.

To all the mods
Thanks for your work and dedication also. You guys have had done a great job. It's not easy to make this many members play nice and get along but y'all always kept a cool head and made tough decisions to keep the peace.

To the other members
Thanks to all of y'all for being the carziest bunch of pervs ever assembled. I usually don't post much but there is no way I can tell all of you how much I have enjoyed reading all of your posts. Even though I wouldn't know most of you if I met you on the street I think of you all as close and dear friends. I have learned so much from all of you and laughed my tail off at some of the nutty going ons.

Truely a sad, sad day that came wat to soon. :(

flutelady 07-07-2003 10:26 AM

Kim, I've not been here long, but I have marveled at your wonderful site. Thank you for making my brief stay so enjoyable, and thank you for all you've done to provide such a fantastic site that so many people think of as home. I wish you all the very best..... thank you again.

Kim 07-07-2003 10:55 AM

Hey all,

Well thanks for all the messages and offers. As for accepting donations I am unwilling to accept money from anyone towards the running of the site, as then I would feel indebted to them and the site turns from a hobby into a business, which is not what I want.

My idea is for a "mini-Pixies-Place" to remain. The Java chat room will be here indefinitely and so it will remain a chatting "hub". In additon I wish to add a message board again, but there will be no pictures.

In addition, and for those who want to help, if someone were to make a new site (primarily the forums), of a similar quality and ethic to Pixies-Place then I could "push" members towards that forum/site - a sort of affiliation between the two places.

Regardless these forums will be around until the end of the month!

Thanks, and this is very hard for me too!
Kim

Cheyanne 07-07-2003 11:03 AM

I feel the same as all of those who have posted before me. :(

((((HUGS)))) to Kim.

Kim, this has been a wonderful place for me to go and to learn about myself. I am totally grateful to you for providing a place for me to do that.

Many of us are very willing to contribute to keep the site up and going. Many of the members have talents that would enable the site to continue. Is there a possibility for a meeting of somesort where this could be discussed, planned, and possibly set forth? Is there a way that the reigns could be handed to someone else? I for one am willing to do this, as I am sure others are as well.

Please consider this request from a very grateful member.... members.

Thanksxxxxxxxxx

dadaist 07-07-2003 11:41 AM

If I knew of a place that could do hosting, I'd try to help in a transition area. Heck, if I had my own bandwidth I'd set up my own Linux box for public use, but I don't.
Very sorry to hear the news.

I've made my e-mail publicly accessible if anyone wants to contact me off the site.

Irish 07-07-2003 11:48 AM

Kim---I just want to say "THANKS"!As you have,probably,gathered
,I'm not much of a "joiner".I'm a fairly,secretive,person,that doesn't open up to many people.Here I felt at home wiyth the people.I truely felt as if they were my FAMILY and I could open up
&talk about anything with them.I guess all good things must come to an end!As you know,I am fairly computer illiterate,so starting a site,is out of the question.If I can help,just yell.I have
some private e-mail addresses.If anyone has any that they want to send to me,mine is [email protected] Irish
P.S.Is this mo. it?
