Respect.
That's a word we all know, right? Yeah. We know what it means. We know what it symbolizes. Most importantly, we know how relevant it is, not only to you, but to us. Question is, do you know what respect truly means?
All this bullshit aside, each member of the staff team has grown increasingly frustrated over the course of what seems to be the past few months or so. Why, you may ask? The answer's pretty straightforward, and it goes round and round, until.. bullseye! Respect.
Do you have any idea how much time we devote, not just to grade your stuff, but towards the site's mechanics, and on ways to improve this place to make it better? No. Of course you don't. We volunteered for this, we expect nothing in return. Hell, some of us even paid hard earned cash to keep the Cbox and ICbox running, and for what? We barely use it. And when we do? You guys bombard us with questions that, 95% of the time, can be answered if you learned to read, which, from the looks of things, some of you are incapable of. So what happens if there's a legitimately COMPLICATED question? Well, look no further than the friggin Help Desk that's almost always empty, because why bother making a thread for such things when you can just grab a staff member and strangle the answer out of them, and if said answer is not to your liking, argue on and on, even when we tell you to stop.
Why did I name this thread 'Pipebomb'? Again, much like everything else, its pretty simple. A pipebomb, in its rawest form, is the truth. So what I'm typing out here is basically months of pent up frustration, not only from my part, but from all of us in the staff team.
This site isn't made for you. It was created by Kyo, for us, so that we'd have a place to actually RP. But since it grew, we started welcoming new members, alongside ones that we knew from FTB. And what happens?
Well, I'll simplify it like this. Right now, our community mainly consists of 5 types of people.
1. The weaboos. Self explanatory. If you don't know who it is, chances are the answer's staring right back at you in the mirror.
2. The trolls. Again, self explanatory. They probably know who they are, and they probably know what they're doing, but they're not stopping.
3. The exhibitionists / people who don't think with their brains, and instead opts to use their genitals. Once again, self explanatory. "Hey, my character has huge boobs. Come fuck her. She's wide open for all."
4. The illiterates Need I say more? Actually, this part of the community is, at the very least, tolerable. Improve your grammar, that's all.
5. The normal people A.K.A. members who actually make it an effort to try to plot, and come up with cool ideas for their characters. Then again, who needs originality anymore?
Wow, what a shocker, right? Saphy's being so mean!
I ain't nice. I have not ever said I was nice. I'm honest. I tell the truth. And the truth is, we're pretty much fed up with everything that's been going on. Try as we may to try to correct things, to try to improve things, the one thing we can't touch, and the one thing that pretty much influences a majority of the outcome, is you.
So give yourselves a round of applause, because you truly do deserve it.
Our will to post has dwindled, and our motivation's ran down to the ground. And because of what? We question why we even put up with these things, why we even put up with you guys for so long.
What happens now?
Nothing. Nothing happens. I'm just venting my frustrations and clarifying some things that should have been clarified long ago. If you choose to leave because of my words, feel free to do so, because this place wasn't meant for you to begin with. We welcome new members who actually give thought and effort into making their characters. We welcome people who actually use their god-given brains to think up interesting concepts, plots, and all that other good stuff.
We hate people who flaunt their characters just because they have FCs with elephant tits.
Oh yeah, as for the cbox? There's a chance that we might be removing it. We don't use it anyway, so might as well cut some costs and just get rid of it. Do whatever you want, cause we're certainly sick of caring.
Trust me, this isn't sour grapes, its just the nature of the beast. As of right now, this thread isn't up for discussion, nor will it ever be. I don't hate any of you, nor do I hold any grudges. This is something that I feel I need to get off my chest, and if I get in trouble for it, so be it. We are all RPers, we strive to improve. We volunteered to be staff, and we're sick of getting treated like your own personal slaves.
In short, we're done taking your shit.
Good day.
