~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello everyone.

I started using this site back in TBC when I discovered how awesome shadow
form was (and I just couldn't wait to level up for it, either). This site
has helped so many of us over the years and I owe everything that I've
become to the amazing creator and people who have kept it alive for so
long. Though many of these people have moved on and will never see this
message, I still thank you. Shadowpriest.com was the foundation of the
shadow priest community; I will never forget this amazing place.

Unfortunately, the site went into the hands of a non-priest/non-player and
has been littered with invasive ads, had no real updates since the
purchase, and has had a revolving door of moderators. Today, I bought
ShadowPriest.com; I truly wish that I'd had the money to buy it two years
ago. Things would have been different. I would have done everything in my
power to make sure this site thrived. I would've thrown my hard earned
money into the community if that's what it took to keep it alive.

I couldn't do any of that here, but I did do it in another place.
HowToPriest.com was created on February 6th, 2011 and we already have half
of the traffic that Shadowpriest.com had in it's prime. I hope that this
site can live on through HowToPriest.com. The site doesn't make the
community, the community makes the site.. and I can honestly say that we
have a brilliant, talented, and hilarious community at HowToPriest.com.

I can promise you that H2P won't be sold to the highest bidder. I won't
litter it top to bottom in ads. I will do everything in my power, even if
it means spending my own money, to keep H2P alive, thriving, and happy for
as long as I possibly can. I want to personally invite you all to join the
fantastic community that we have there.

With Mists of Pandaria approaching quickly, I would like to include some
awesome links. Take a gander at these threads and if you feel that they are
useful, well-written, or even interesting feel free to come on over and
hang out with us. Make an account, pull up a chair, and enjoy the
discussion.

and I look forward to seeing you there.

Thank you all.

re: R.I.P. ShadowPriest.com

The parting note is accurate. The usefulness of the site has really dropped and a lot of people from shadowpriest have already moved to howtopriest anyhow so I don't think a lot will be lost. Moreso as you consider the lack of new content on the site and the relevence of existing content as the game is patched and continues to (de?)evolve.

There is the sentimentality of it all of course. I've used quite a bit of the info on shadowpriest and seeing it close sucks, but I prefer to thinking of it as 'rebranding' rather then closing. Happy
