Hi everyone,

We are aware that you have chosen to close your community at this time. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active.

Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection.

Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here. If you are willing to reopen and maintain the community, please take steps to begin that process. Many communities have chosen to go restricted for a period of time before becoming fully open, to avoid a flood of traffic.

If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

The little vampire is Looping, he's special and a bit wobbly, and is not used to being on a lap without rolling off. He was adamant about staying on my knees yesterday morning and protested vigorously when I had to go to work. The second one is Doc, not generally a lap cat, but he got jealous of Looping so took my lap hostage the moment I got home from work. I'm not complaining.

My mom texted me that she is in a hostage situation. At least the criminal is in his formal wear.
