I remember it like it was yesterday. The law of diminishing returns hit us hard after OT News #15 was released, and that, along with most of the editors quitting work, made me realize that our investors were not going to be happy with us. We tried to mix it up but the value of our stocks dropped down to about one laugh per three posts, or 1/3, in comparison with our first edition, whose stocks were sold at 75 laughs per post. The price of our stocks hit an all-time low after the release of OT News #18, and most if not all of our investors sold their stocks for dirt money, going home with virtually nothing in their pockets. The selling back of stocks was the final kick when we were down, as we had to give back money that we didn't have. We knew we had to shut down operations after #19, and we has kai draw up a 19.5 so we can cover up our losses—and we did the best we could to try to make #19 to be the best we could, to go out with a bang, but it didn't work, and the rest is history.
Ladies and gentlemen, I know that I've been saying that OT!News #20 is on infinite hiatus, but let's face it, it will never be completed. As of now, I officially declare OT!News to be dead. I have to thank my editors, abraker, kai99, and Blitzfrog, for being at my side as I pushed my popularity experiment as far as it would go. I also want to thank everyone who read this post, and who read the news editions faithfully and hopefully, for this would not have been possible without all of you.
And with that, I bid you all good night. I now request for this thread to be locked and unpinned, please.
