But they weren't anywhere near as bad until you shined a light on them and decided to wedge a fucking pickaxe in the cracks to make it worse. But just as adamantly as you are on the issue of splitting, I've adamantly determined that worrying about fixing the 'issue' when obviously more than half of us don't see it because it's not that big of a fucking deal is actually DRIVING PEOPLE AWAY.
Seriously. I don't want to be here anymore. I have better things to do. More important shit to worry about, like getting a goddamn job to support my family.
Wanna know something else?
The very issue you're trying to fix IS THE BULLSHIT EVERYONE WANTS TO AVOID BECAUSE IT'S THROWN IN OUR FACES LIKE THE WORST ISSUE IN THE WORLD.
So you know what? I'm done here. I don't need this pointless shit stressing me out. So I'll stay on Skype PRECISELY BECAUSE IT'S NOT A FUCKING CIRCUS.
Bye, forumites.
Okay, seriously? The issue that I'm raising, the root of our problems, is that neither is system is perfect. It would have been simple to talk about why the forums don't work for you, so we could fix those problems, because communication is important, you know? This issue is not big, but it supports bigger issues, like the one everyone has been building up over the last month. IT IS, AGAIN, THE ROOT ISSUE. It is the reason why we are broken into two avenues of communication, and why we have drama over such. IT IS AN ISSUE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE HAD TALKED INSTEAD OF JUST GOING WITH THE CLOSEST "SOLUTION". I can understand why you all decided it wasn't that big of a deal, after all it's pretty small. BUT IGNORING IT DID NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. And now we have bigger problems.
Cancel that, because I might as well say that SITTING DOWN AND WORKING OUT PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING AS A COMMUNITY IS THE ROOT ISSUE. By working as a team, we could solve the major drama, or shitposting, or forum issues. OUR PROBLEM, IRONICALLY, IS FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE. IF WE ARE NOT WILLING TO TALK, LISTEN, AND ACT (HELL, MYSELF INCLUDED, BUT THAT'S TODAY'S REVELATION) THEN WE WILL MAKE BIGGER PROBLEMS BUILT ON SMALLER ONES. And we have.
We are not acting as community. Breaking off with a "solution to the problem" instead of talking together as a whole, and possibly finding a solution that works for everyone, is not how a community works. AND SO THERE IT IS. WE ARE NOT A COMMUNITY IF WE ACT LIKE THIS.
