OMG!
I've just found out that SVS (Supernatural Video Station). is closing.
This has left me in a bit shocked and a little teary. It's such sad news.
I mean, I totally get it. The lovely
dazzelbug has been running it for all these years and I suppose a time would always come she would no longer want to maintain and run it. It takes a lot of work and dedication. She's done an amazing job, along with
loner_sock and the moderators over the years.
It's sad because this is the place my vidding grew up with. I remember posting one of my very first vids there and receiving helpful concrit. It gave me the confidence to continue vidding. I remember how I felt when I got my first Gold Award and won my first challenge. I remember being asked to become a Moderator and how nice that felt. I learned such a lot by being a mod. Stuff I will never forget.
And I'll never forget the great time I had.
I also made some very dear friends there. I know they aren't gone (in fact so many of them are here *hugs them*), but it feels like saying goodbye to a friend.
*sniff*
So long SVS. Thanks so much for EVERYTHING. You were are a big part of my vidding life. :(

I'm surprised how emotional this announcement as made me. I know things come and go, but it's saying goodbye to a part of the whole SPN fandom experience that was so much fun.
I know participation has died off. Where some people had left, other people had joined.
I look forward to seeing what this party is all about. :) At the moment it will feel more like a Wake. I know there will be lots to celebrate, but it will be sad as well.
The best thing is all the lovely people I've met through the place. Including you. :D

The owner (Kayla) doesn't wish for it to be taken over by any one. It's her baby so I suppose she gets to make the decision about that. I can appreciate that, but it's still very sad.
There's a lot of awesome info on that site also. I wouldn't mind finding a way to save the "help" info. A lot of it is very useful to vidders.
Another site might spring up. But even so, it'll be sad to say goodbye.

One consideration is asking the Internet Archive to back up the site. That way useful files and discussions might still be able to be searched.

I think this is why it's become quite emotional for me. I might just be being a bit sentimental. But it's the memories of the place as well as the info and history that's important.

I think they might be doing that. There was mention that if we needed anything off it we could ask. I sincerely hope it just isn't all deleted. I suspect it hold a lot memories and info for Kayla (the owner).
Thanks hun. I suppose with anything fandom it is somewhat transient.
