Memories of There
by softlydreaming and my fellow Therians
This article is very hard to write through tears and broken
dreams. I love The Voice of There and There.com
with all my heart. Being apart of it all, a voice staff
writer, a member of the MAB, an island guide, and the BFF Club
owner for over two years has changed my life. Thumdar became our
virtual best friend. My avatar softlydreaming fell in love with
Percy in There.com and it took over our real lives and we met in
person in Europe. I love my virtual bff BlackOut. We all love
there.com and now we are losing our home. This is just a little
bit of what we all feel, what we've all said on fb and theremail....
"So sad about There.com.
I've made so many wonderful friends ♥"-
Elaur
"I am really at a loss for words... I'm still praying for a
miracle and spending the last few days enjoying all around
me...Take lots of pictures!!!" - Rock_temptress
"A shame it will all be over soon.
Until it closes I got movies to shoot and things to acomplish!
I am not sure what I am going to do now. I am so used to
modeling objects for There. I am shooting a new movie on
thursday and friday. I got a ton of footage in the
can for other projects, but so many things will remain
unfinished. Keep watching my you tube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/VirtualVikki
I am
holding a closing party also. Be there when the plug is pulled
and all that on
Tuesday night at the aero longue form 11 till.. when the
plug is pulled. I
will miss you all." - Francis_7
"It
is with a SAD HEART that I tell you all Thank you! Words
fail me.... just know that I truly am proud to know you.Thanks!"
- Greeter_Anna
"I am sure most of you know that the end of the world is
upon us.I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for
changing my life. Some of you have taught me new things.
Some have introduced me to new cultures and some of you have
supported me during hard times. I am very thankful that i
have met you all and consider you all friends. " -Justthinktink
"wish u all the best in ur future life and I would love to
see u somewhere one day lol" - doopie
"I hope we meet again somewhere. I too wish There was not
closing. It was a privilege to have served on the MAB.
'wave" - june_uruTMP
"I have to close my eyes to this long day...for a
moment...its makes my heart sick to lose my virtual world...my
virtual clubhouse...I'm just glad I know we THERIENS WILL MAKE
SURE WE DON'T LOSE EACH OTHER...ty eveyrone for all your love
and support...sweet dreams to those who can sleep..." - softlydreaming
"We will all chat on another game soon im sure of that
bye" - peter7
"Goodbye There. I will always be grateful. I will miss
you. Dont be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary
before we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a
lifetime, is certain for those who are friends."- carefree
"So sad ... I don't want to lose her :( ... Let's hope
someday, someway, we will all find somehere new to live. Long
live There in our hearts. ♥ "- purplemia

to design! rofl - I'm feeling really bad now, can't believe
There is closing!!!!"- applebees
" Shocked.While I would like to say, it was a great run
while we had it, I can't. I want another 20 years of it being
around. This just sucks big time."- meret
"very sad day...The There community was not just a
"game", it was a 3D virtual community where we have
made life time friends--not just virtual dolls. We will all keep
in touch I am sure, and I hope we all do well with what we will
be doing."- Dreamweaver
"I'm planning on sleeping lol but it's been a sad 'there'.

=/"- Devilishous
"Im very sad, can't
believe."- MikeCesar
"my avie wants to jump off a high
mountain it's so depressed"- davesmeg
"I was shocked and flabbergasted
to hear the news about There closing. I have been a proud
Therian for over 6 1/2 years and a Guide for over 2 years. I
have met many wonderful people in There (as well as a whole
string of muppets :P) and I just wish to express my thanks for
the wonderful times I had with many of you guys (and gals).
Hoping against hope that somewhere,
somehow, something will happen to save There once again. I
always have been, am and always WILL be: a THERIAN. I wish you
well in your other endeavours, whether they be virtual or
real.'bow 'blowkiss '''hearts 'hug -Percy.
"I can not believe I say this but I got to a had a real
good time with all u realy cool people from there.com
and hope to keep in touch with u all" - kcool
"Love you guys and it has been GREAT. I'll stick with THERE
till the last night, let's show them they can't run us off and
that they will have to shut the server down around us!!!"- Dad_A_Monk
"The day I thought that would never come is now upon us
all. It's a day with a lot of mixed emotions, but mostly sadness
to see something so great be taken away so quickly and
unexpectedly.hoping that one day I'll get an e-mail saying There.com
is reopening, but right now it seems like those are high hopes.
I'll miss everyone who has been apart of my There life these
past 5 years, and a big thank you to the Greeters who have
helped us all with our path as an IG. I can only imagine how
this must be hurting them, as well as everyone else in There,
myself included"- KrazyNeo
"It was good being a part of something bigger than myself.
Traveling the world while sitting at my keyboard . Welcoming
people from all over the world and trying to communicate
with many using my google translator. I got to talk in so
many languages and so many young guys that wanted to be my boy
friend until I told them that I was old enough to be their
granny Rofl! And now sitting down crying ! I love you all
!" - Agape'
"I'm not usually talkative unless you are my reaaaallly
good friends which I've already talked to them in private, but I
love all of you guys."- Aristoteles

play,lol,life can be cruel"- ericman1967

"Aloha and thank you all so much for every moment!!! This
community has been awesome and it's loss is quite simply
devastating.I have enjoyed my time here and I'm shocked that
it's going down. I've been in approx 28 worlds and this one was
far and above my favorite. It's incomprehensible to me that in a
weeks time it wont be here any longer. I'm hanging on until the
bitter end.While I am beyond sad to see it go I know that
everything has it's season and this was a good 'season' of my
life. Once the mourning period is over I will look back fondly
on the all the conversations and events, ThereGames, Proms,
Island Guide, UoT and UDU and everything fondly.
But not yet. For now I'm gonna hold my breath and hope for a
miracle."- soede
"HUGS to everyone! Love you
All!!!!!!" - teddybear11590
"I've met a lot of ppl over the past 6 years of being on
There. I have become close to a lot of them. It is with a sad
heart that I write this to say bye to all of you."- Mylius01
"I just came home and heard the awful news!!! THERE has
been my home for a long, long time and it has been both a
privilege and a pleasure to have been able to be a part of your
THERE experience, both when I was Greeter_Lee and as myself,
DollEyes. To the Greeters- I miss each of you and loved working
with you! You all are wonderful people and make a wonderful
team! I hope one day we can all be a team again! Huggles! You
know ALL the ways to reach me, so please keep in touch!!! To the
Island Guides- All of you have been a sheer joy to work with...
I will miss each of you! You all rock! Huggles!Please keep in
touch everyone!I love you all!!! MEGA HUGGLES!!!!!!" -
Greeter_Lee
"I am so sorry, the news is terrible.This is the end of an
era in our lives that we will remember forever. I thank you all
for your support of my work & products. I have gained so
much experience in the last 7 years, and I'm not sure where it
will take me & all of you, next. I have to wait until the
tears stop to be able to see straight. I hope I see you all
again in another world. Love & Hugs to you All." -

There
is so much more we all have said. We all love There with all our
hearts. We are losing our home. Some of us are shocked, others
angry, and some just can't stop crying or even sleep. A lot of
Theriens are hanging on to the final end...there are events
planned and people in There. Greeter_Anna had a group im so
large she couldn't fit more in it. Greeter_Becky and so many
more came in There and we all jumped off avie sacrifices,
hoverboarded or just hung out. Let's all stick together somehow,
whether it's facebook, thumdar, or email. Theriens will always
love there.com and The Voice of There.
On a personal note thank you Geea and all the staff
writers of the voice for all your love and support of there.com.
The Voice of There is a tribute and a memorial to all we love in
our virtual home, we will always cherish and never forget it.
Thank you for all you've done. 'sad 'blowkiss and that special
'hug we got at last.
" Until next time keep DREAMING love, SOFTLY"
