I'm gonna go... - Page 3

I think I'm gonna have to leave here. I know, I barely post, but I think I need to delete this place from my bookmarks for at least a good long while.

I've been around these parts since the absolute very beginning of EZBoards, the little internet forum about a Final Fantasy webcomic. Over the years I've seen this place grow into so much more, and finally degenerate into so much less.

I rarely post anymore, not because I don't have anything to say, but mostly because I don't feel like it matters and that I don't feel like I would be respected. This place has turned into a toxic hate-filled environment where if you don't feel a certain way, you are immediately chastised and forced into some half-assed apology or you are forever labeled a pariah.

This place used to be an environment where you could chill, enjoy some amusing posts, hang out in AIM Chat, and make friends. I have so many lifelong friends from this place.

Don't get me wrong, it's not just this place that's changed, of course I've changed. I was 15 when I joined initially, 18 when we moved over to this forum. I'm 30 now, have a career, 2 jobs I love, a house, a fiance. My opinions have changed on numerous subjects and I see the world through some very different eyes.

So I guess that's it. I'll go sweep out my little batcave corner, grab my Cyber Wars RP pages and hit the trail. I'll still be around on Steam and Facebook for the select few who have that and want to talk.

To all of you who joined me on this long ass ride through the interwebs:

Stay as awesome as you have always been.
