 		dead? or just dumbed down
hello everyone, I just got this message from the moorpond admin:

Dear Former Students, Parents, and Teachers

Moorpond School for Girls is Closing its doors permanently due to budget cuts. However, we have retained a few faculty members to teach a series of online learning modules for the personal enrichment of both children and adults.

Sincerely,

Phoebe Kennedy-Sharpe
Administrative Assistant
The Moorpond School

Well... lets break this down...

I really dislike the term "dumbed down" btw

It says... we are closing our doors PERMANENTLY. Which I am sure, means... forever.. kaput or as we say in Scotland. OOT THE DOOR. Which suggests the school is no more.

However what I get from the rest of the email is that perhaps the blog will be kept on so that we can still enjoy the story.

All the playing aspects I would assume have gone. Perhaps there will be a few puzzles here and there to keep us going but yes I think we can say its been tailored back.

 		starting to wonder if it IS dead, on the site's page it says "ab antiquo, ab aeterno" which translates to "from ancient, from eternity", maybe the ARG is just being re-structured, or is going through a phase like BEN did. Only time will tell if this is the case or if it has been reduced greatly (or whatever you wish to call it, I just said dumbed down because that is what me and my friends say when something has been reduced during transfer between regions etc).

 		We also have a new blog post http://moorpond.blogspot.fi/2013/10/update-and-moving-forward.html
So, I don't think it's completely dead.

This exactly. Its not totally dead.

as far as I'm aware, Moorpond school is dead but its being scaled down.

I did mention initially
