I just feel like it’s time to say it. Even if the group continues to live on residing on a server, I just can’t justify continuing membership. I haven’t posted (not really) in probably 10 months. So here’s a little bit of what I said:

I’m sad it’s come down to this, but I don’t have the time or the energy to keep up with the group anymore… I haven’t really kept up on it since I got back in March.. That’s almost a year… I may have posted once when I got back, but I don’t think so.. 10 months with no posting is a strong indication to me that I just can’t do it anymore…

Whether the group closes or not, I have to unsubscribe.. I can’t, in good conscience, remain a member of a group that I don’t participate in. I’ve moved on. I’ll keep KP Fan World online, if only as an archive. I won’t run it, though. I can’t run it. I have a business to run and don’t have time to do that like I used to. Before, I was out of school and not really working. I took it as experience for later. I can’t do that anymore.

I’m saddened by the lack of activity just like the rest of you, but we know it’s got to end some time. And as much as I still love the show, there just isn’t any more we can do for it. It’s been off the air for far too long to bring it back. It just wouldn’t be the same. I mean the whole crew has moved on… Many of them to another network altogether… What is the group worth anymore?

[...]

I’ve met a lot of great people through this group. Made some good friends. Built a business out of it. If it weren’t for MKP, I may not be doing web design now… I wouldn’t have gotten experience on SDS… I wouldn’t be who I am today. That’s saying a lot, and I’ll miss the group… but friends I can keep in contact with even without the group.

[...]

Happy anniversary, MKP…. May your future endeavors be as great and fulfilling as this has been. May you influence others for good.

Mission_Kim_Possible : Message: Has Mission_Kim_Possible outlived it’s usefulness?.

So what do you think? I think it’s time to pack up. It was said well in this message. The show’s over, Disney’s never going to make more… So what’s the point of having a group around that’s not doing anything but collecting dust?

Let me point out a few facts before anyone jumps in here to say that it’s not
true.. but numbers don’t line

When Kim Possible was supposed to end on April 8th 2005, the response in this
group was enormous with something like 2500 + Posts in a single month

But in the Months After the show ended on September 7th 2007, the numbers
statistically shows that people are not interested in renewing the show for a
5th season.

The bottom line is that because now so few people care (and the number of posts
show it), the usefulness of Mission Kim Possible I feel has come to an End.

So in order to get some feedback here, I’m not going to close off this group
until January 14th, 2010, the sixth anniversay of the creation of this Yahoo
Group.

So what do you think? Before you answer, I want to point these out… I’ve compiled the post statistics from the last 6 years into a couple of graphs. This is the lowest year ever… But I’ll let you decide.

A former colleague, Gregory Isaac, has re-acquired the domain that the Save Kim Possible group has wanted to have for quite some time and has put up a summarized history of the group and its success. He emailed me last night, but I didn’t see it until this morning.

One final note. I was recently able to acquire the savekimpossible.com domain name. I spent quite a few days considering what to do with it, and decided that it was the appropriate place to tell the story of the first fight for KP. In my opinion, it seems like a lot of people have forgotten our one successful campaign, and no where else has the story really been told. What I’ve written is the the SKP movement as I lived it.

I fixed some of the spelling errors to be more easily understood, but that’s word-for-word what he said. Don’t expect an in-depth look at the history. As I said, it’s summarized. But it’s complete. And, in my opinion, it’s a perfect ending for the long hard work fans had to put in to bring it about.

One thing I would add, however, is that it wasn’t tucsoncoyote alone who came up with the domain SaveDisneyShows.org. It was about four of us discussing for a few hours trying to come up with something.

Many people have wondered if I’m really done with music videos for Kim Possible. And the answer is “Yes, I am.” It’s time to move on. That was my last one. I may still use my YouTube for other things, but not for uploading KP videos. So here it is:

I appreciate the support and everything, but I have to be done. There’s nothing else. The show’s ended. Over. So don’t ask me for episodes or videos.

Thanks!
