Saddening news: Vox is shutting down at the end of the month.
Probably not the most well known site, but I love this site. I can write what I need or want to write and show it only to those I want to show it to. The tools are very easy to use. The format is very easy and doesn't fight you to post on it. The posts seem like blog posts and are very readable since they're laid out like that.
But good things must come to an end at some point I suppose. I joined September 26, 2008. Kelsea Perry and Faithe "Grand Forsetti" Elliott were the reasons. They'd have something that happened and they would need to reexplain to me what it was when they had written a perfectly good Vox about it already. Once I hopped on, I used Vox to tell my problems and to pose questions when I needed advice. I documented my life from September 26, 2008 on here, using almost no other site. It was all I needed, Faithe was the only one I talked to about my problems heavily. Even now with Lexie and her merry band as my close friends, I still use Vox, now more to keep Christy entertained I regret to say. My life has just gotten better over the months and I didn't need to say as much any more. I wasn't going to dump this account however.
Even if I wasn't writing on here as much as I once was, it was still a great thing to have. A place to express my thoughts, to tell my stories, to get advice, to figure out what I was feeling and thinking. Now, 2 years and 5 days after I joined, it is going to close up shop. I'm exporting to TypePad to keep my stories alive. I'll remember what happened, but these entries show how I felt. They're just damn beautiful entries anyway.
So now, Tumblr and TypePad shall hold my stories.
Goodbye Vox. I shall miss you. You helped me through some very hard times. TypePad and Tumblr can never take your place.
Adieu my old friend. You shall be sorely missed
