GMT has been running since the 22nd of September 2004. Since the site was launched, we've created a community that has gone through a lot of good times and bad times together. GMT has resulted in friendships formed, knowledge gained, and minds challenged! We always sought to make GMT a place where believers are welcome to fellowship and interact, and we believe that for the most part, GMT has performed that role well.

We feel that GMT has run its course. This isn't a lament over decreased page views or forum traffic, but the interest in GMT has dropped from what it used to be. This is partly a result of our team's focus being driven elsewhere (InFocus), and partly a result of social networks like Facebook fulfilling the need for interaction a lot better than GMT could ever offer to its members.

Within the coming month or so, we'll begin to shut down various bits of the site. After that point, a revised form of this message will remain on the home page, and GMT will be officially closed. We don't have a fixed date for when any of this will happen, but while the forums are still there, please take the time to retrieve any information or contact details you need from the site before it's taken down for good.

Our ministry will continue with InFocus, which now lives at a new url: teaminfocus.com.au

For those of you who haven't visited InFocus in a while, it's evolved into a regular group-blog with a rotating roster of bloggers that have much to say on a range of spiritual issues and current affairs.

For those that have supported us, or have in some way been blessed by this site, thank you for making this place what it was.

Farid Wardan,
on behalf of the GMT team
