Hello everyone,

Less than a week after our 9th year in business we must call it quits and give in to the state of the economy with no other choice.

It is with the saddest of hearts that I must tell you that the 3DComnmune will be closing its doors today.

This is the worst news I've ever had to tell anyone and it's near impossible to do without tears and a shattered heart.

.........I am truly sorry......I wish I could prevent this from happening and I have tried to as hard as I possibly could to keep it open.

3DC has completely drained me personally and financially to the point of no return.

The server is being shut off because I can no longer afford it, meaning all information will be gone from the net, all of the site everything.

Nothing will be left but a memory very shortly.

The server will still exist with all the content on it up the second it was shut off.

If anyone is interested in buying it as it paying the past due fees on it and taking it over let me know. I would gladly sell it.

This is an absolutely HORRIBLE situation not only to me but to everyone who cared, worked, brokered or visited here. I keep pinching myself hoping that this isn't real but unfortunately it is.

I just want to say up front that I will to pay the vendors everything I owe them but I don't know how it's going to be possible right away...

I will do my absolute best to do this because I do not want to go down as owing anyone and just disappearing.

Most people would never believe how much money I lost on 3DC over the past 9 years, but that didn't matter to me.

I kept it going because I believed in it and the people there and the idea of community and sharing and growing. It did grow beyond what I thought it might become and due to all the wonderful people here over the years it stayed since October of 2000.

My goodness without you all 3DCommune would have never ever been here or stayed as long as it did. I thank you from the bottom of my aching heart and I know I will never be able to repay you all for the amazing work all of you did to keep us here.

You all deserve so much better than this and I sincerely hope you can achieve it.

I wish all of you whom I've met and even those I have not the best of everything life and the universe has to offer you.

I will certainly miss all of you.

Vendors Payments Due

The only thing I can do right now today is offer to sell Alexa and our other characters, parts and pieces I own.

I will pay the vendors off somehow, someway. As I said I will do my best to pay all of you what you are owed.

As I said I would gladly sell 3DC to someone that could take over the costs and pay the vendors what's owed but I doubt anyone would want it.

I have so little left to offer, it's a mere pittance and a pitiful attempt at any type of offer or payment for what you've all done and given to the site.

This site was my dream and I had SO many plans for it and it was just getting some speed back up... Unfortunately that light at the end of the tunnel and that elusive corner never seemed to appear.

It is more than a shame, it is a damn crime this is happening and there is Nothing I can do to prevent it other than winning the lotto which I can't afford to play or finding $20,000 laying on the ground.

As one very wise person said to me, "this will be a new chapter in your life and it was meant to happen". Hard to accept but I know it to be true.

I'm sure I'll go down in history now as a lying, thief who stole from everyone and gave up. .... .sigh, I certainly hope that is not the case and that people do remember me as a stand up guy who did all he could to help people achieve a little higher level or a bit of fun and happiness in their lives.

I wish you all the best in everything you do and pray that you find you way in this crazy mixed up world we're living in right now.

I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me - or whatever,... I did the best I could, I made some bad business decisions and tried to fight the machine and lost.

Goodbye and Good Luck to all,

Mark

What's Next for me?

I won't give up hope and I hope none of you do either.. 2012 is just around the corner and I think maybe I see a tiny spec of light.. :)

Meditate often my friends... watch for 11:11 and remember we're all one
