Well. This has been a long time coming, quite honestly. I'm not sure how long, but I've known this was going to happen eventually, and it looks like it has finally come. I'm leaving the site. Maybe temporarily, maybe permanently, depends on where you all, and I, take things.
First off, I'd like to apologize to all the people whose threads I have dropped. I simply have no desire to complete them, no desire to continue telling the stories that I was making with you. For that, I apologize.
Now, for the reasons I'm leaving.
I no longer feel welcome on the site.
It's no secret that I don't agree with the current direction of the site. I'm sure a lot of you have heard me annoyingly rant or complain about how the site doesn't let me do X or Y, no matter how true it may or may not be. Due to my rants, and due to arguments caused by my disagreements, I have been told to "suck it up or leave" in much nicer terms countless times.
Beyond this, everyone I heavily enjoyed RPing with have been banned, or have left the site. Now, you may say "But Jab, buddy old pal old friend, just find new people!" Not that simple for me. I'm an introverted, anxiety ridden piece of shit that doesn't get along with people under normal circumstances. If I'm friends with someone, it's likely because I was introduced by someone who went out of their way to get to know me.
Another thing is that I hate the PvP orientation of the current timeline. I've seen countless instances of people bickering, yelling, and insulting one another because people are so obsessed with winning that they toss aside basic human decency. That's not something I want to be a part of, and has honestly made me not want to interact with certain users after seeing how they act in such situations.
To be quite honest, and I'm going out on a limb here, but a major reason I'm leaving is because of the banning of the user Megilwen.
I'm not going to go into details, and believe me, I know quite a lot, but I personally believe the ban was unfounded, based on personal bias, and shows a childish, unwelcoming side of the Admin team.
Goodbye, and thanks for distracting me from my life.
