I'm really quite sorry, but I haven't the time nor the effort to try and keep Shades going. I really appreciate the offers of help, but I'm afraid that I've lost interest. I may be revamping it in the near future, as I have one last idea for the site, but it'll probably be later. I have university applications to submit and I probably won't get a chance to breathe until the Christmas holidays.

It was a great run, my most successful site, and I'd like to thank everyone who was a part of it and who made it friendly for others. I appreciate it so much.
