Today I am the bearer of sad news. Whalliance will be closing in the very near future. Due to outward pressures and inherent competition with other community sites, we are no longer able to support this great community.
Thank you to our passionate community members, all of you that read and enjoyed our content on a consistent basis, or any readers that popped in to check things out once in a while. Thank you to our staff, who worked remarkably to provide our community with enjoyable news and articles.
Once again I thank all of you for being a part of this journey.
