Heartbroken started out as an idea from my past. I have been through a lot and as I watched my friends suffer with the confusion I had already expirienced, I felt worthless. It remained an idea until I lost my engagement to James. On February 24th, 2006, Heartbroken was established.
The cult remained closed for approximately two days in which I simply looked for help in running the place. When everything was completed, we began. Though the rest of the original staff is a vague memory, the roots were Emma, Krista, and Felicia. The four of us worked hard with invites, updates, and keeping inactive people away. (Which eventually led to the app cult.)
On March 9th, I was asked out by one of my best guy friends who made me accept. Shortly after we began dating, he became the co-owner. (Which he had previously turned down whilst drunk.) Neil began a complete reconstruction of the cult's design and gave us a definitive attitude. We went from being a quiet and acceptive group to a well organized and strictly run family.
After what seemed to be a short time, Neil resigned on February 9th, 2007 due to a lack of time. Shortly after such, Emma was appointed to be the new Co-Owner. Together, she and I re-did the html and graphics.
However, things began to consume my life shortly after. I checked in every now and then, but HB was slowly sinking. We lost several members and stopped inviting new ones. I think the power and idea was getting to our heads. We wanted HB to be perfect and we neither had the time nor the people to do so.
I didn't come back for a few months afterwards. Things were too busy in my life. Neil and I broke up after 2+ years of dating, I graduated high school, and I wanted my life back. I came back to VF on a whim and noticed that several people had quit. My baby was dying and it bothered me. A week later, I came back and decided thatt I wasn't done even though VF really wasn't my place anymore. I started to re-vamp HB and make an attempt to get it back on it's feet.
Right now, this is the attempt.
**fingers crossed everyone**
