I'm scared.

I'm scared.
When I first came here, I was afraid. This place looked like fun,but I was afraid of being disliked for never having interacted with people before. And I was welcomed beyond belief. Ever since then,I've grown as a person, I've escaped the stress of life, I've met friends, I've had fun.

And now I'm scared. People are fighting, people are leaving, and I'm terrified the place that pulled me out of depression is falling apart. This place has done so much for me. Call me whiney, call me immature, call me a baby, but this place is my life now.

I don't know what I hope to accomplish by saying this. But I felt I needed to let it out. Sorry for wasting your time.

Its not a waste of time, honestly, this has kinda been brewing for a while.

I'm sorry that my poor wording and perhaps poor timing may have brought it to a head, and a worse one than before, but I do believe it is better than letting the issue be buried and I do hope that ultimately it helps.

I can understand if you don't want to deal with any of it, after all, its hardly your problem. If you want to leave for a while, I do not blame you. Perhaps it could have been done better, but well, I had to do something. I can't really worry about maybes.

Say what you will, but i actually think this is very mature of you, shinji. Heck, im scared this will fall apart as well, but i couldnt really muster up the courage to say so, unlike you. I was just trying to look foward, hoping and praying for a light at the end of a tunnel, when i wasnt even sure it was there. So... thank you shinji.

Don't worry about it.

What's happening? Why are people fighting? Is it the Pineapple on Pizza thread? I'm just confused right now...

I mean this is beyond you now Gamma. PotN is closed, Yuki is leaving, Boss has left.

Man, I get how you feel but all in all. Drama is drama and it's destined to past. our choices to make the best out of all situations and make a little sanctuary in any and all forms of hell. Sometimes you gotta let loose and build your own fun, bro.

VioLight12

I'm sorry that you feel that way as well...

Well it is falling apart and that's pretty much a fact. But you know what's also a fact? Our love for this place. We all like it. If people want to leave, let them leave. It's not our place to tell them what to do. I'm personally really sad to see blue leave because I like him. He was pretty much the protagonist of the first thread I gmed here so I feel much respect towards him. But I'm in no place to decide for him. I'll let him leave if he wants to. I'll stay, until the bitter end. If the place dies down, I'll fight to make threads. be they shitty or not. It's our responsability to keep the place alive.

I like this site as it is now. And way I see it, we're giving three malcontents the power to turn us into a more serious, less welcoming "literate" group.

Bgammax

It has Mig, it really has. I hoped to keep it contained to me, but obviously that didn't work out. I'm honestly sorry it worked out like this, and should have waited longer before posting. But the issue had to come up eventually. Some people will leave over it, and I am sorry for that, but if it was just ignored, the community was going to destroy itself eventually. I believe that by attempting to discuss, at least there's some chance of a good end, no?

I don't see the problem of the one liners in the first place, they aren't invading peoples threads, in fact they stay in their own threads, yet we are criticizing them for no reason, sorry for bringing up a topic like this again but if we are getting things out there I feel like this needs to be said.

Aishiomi

I am too, Akamoto. I thought this place was going to help me out of a hard time, but it only seems to pull me in more. Criticism is everywhere, and this place only disappointed more people. I want to take a hiatus from being on here, but I want to help at the same time... I'm completely terrified of what's going to happen.

Migrant

We need to discuss it but no more shadow wars and tangentially related discussions.

We need a thread to lay down, in one post, what we're all pissed about.

Bgammax

Some people are frustrated with one-liners and mostly with the rapid pace such posts create. When its only happening in one or two threads its not an issue, but when there are three or four any other threads, such as the memes that some people have mentioned wanting more of, it ends up pushing other threads off the front of the page and discourages people from posting.

And honestly, that is a good idea Mig. It came up earlier than I wanted, but now that the discussion is happening, we may as well make it as transparent as possible
