All good things must come to an end -Chaucer

It is with great displeasure that I have to make this announcement. After careful consideration and long discussions, the Board of Directors has come to the decision that we will be closing our doors effective next month. This decision was not made lightly, and it was a very difficult decision to make. Back in 2010 myself, Mostly Harmless and Silentfaith came up with the idea to make TNS-Gaming, along with the assistance of Rigel Betelguise and Lavagod, and I want to say that we are all very proud of what we have achieved over the years. We are so proud to have made a Community that was a success, and we have met and made so many new friends that we will remember forever. We want to thank every single member of this Community, without the support of everybody we would have never made it this far and it truly hurts us to have to come to this decision.

There are several reasons why we have decided to close the doors here at TNS-Gaming, and realistically one of the biggest factors is finances. For the past several months, even years to be honest we have survived on a month to month basis having to do donation drives to stay afloat and that shouldn't be how a Community is run. The gaming world has changed so much and other avenues of gathering people together like Steam has replaced the good old gaming communities. Times have changed and we’re trying to keep the past alive, and that isn't working anymore.

There are beyond to many people we would like to thank and show appreciation for, so we are going to keep it simple and say THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts for all of the hard work and dedication over the years everyone has shown us here. We hope that everyone continues to be happy, and live a happy life. Life is to short to hold grudges, and regret things... live your life to the fullest and stay happy.

Thank you everyone for everything.


Board of Directors bids you farewell.
