'Where the Sidewalk Ends'...

Yup, I'm leaving. But before I go...



Back in March '06, this was great. I was introduced to it by a friend who claimed that the "people here were really nice". I was very shy at first - it was my first forum I joined...EVER. - But it was great and all. I was a premmy, I actually had friends, it was nicely handled, and I thought I would be INSANE to leave it. Psh, yeah right. KH-vids.net was my home, and nobody could make me think otherwise. Until now, that is.

But if anyone back in the 'ole days can remember, there was this guy named Xemnas-insert some numbers here- who made signatures right before the forum got VB. He left utterly disgusted, and made a huge rant about it. He pretty much said that the staff -Except for Sara and Arc- sucked, people were getting cocky, and he hated it. That's pretty much what I have to say in this little thread here.

Right before my old computer stopped working, Kh-vids.net finally got VB. I was...quite excited when I joined again. The forum looked great. It looked official. There were more and more members coming. I felt great that this ****hole was on its way. But, unfortunately, the forum started to suck over time. As the months went by, the forum basically turned into crap, and it still is. But I see nobody's doing anything about it. I see the 'Serious Question' thread shows that I'm not the only one who thinks this as well. Pfft, if I was DS, I would shut this forum down for the count. Over the times, I also have to agree with Xemnas.

So, why am I leaving?

The biggest reason: I don't belong here. I probably have more of those who hate my to the core rather than people who think the opposite. No friends at all, right? Many people who left before me have said the same thing. I go on and post, and I'm ignored. I say something, I'm yelled at and flamed, then ignored some more. As MadiYasha and 2Foxxie4U said a few pages back:

They basically says it for me. Most of you might be thinking that I'm feeling sorry for myself. If you're thinking that...well, you're half right. But it's kinda hurtful to post in a forum where you once really belonged, and suddenly you're rejected, even by your old friends. I am on a lot of the time. But whenever I log off when it's time to go to bed and everything, I'm usually feeling quite down in the dumps, or so PISSED my head could explode. I couldn't never feel those feelings before the dreaded VB came. This is the reason why I'm leaving. I don't belong. I can't believe it's taken me over a ****ing year to get this through my thick skull. There's a lot more like a lot of disrespect for other members, bad staff, but I seriously don't want to get into that now.



I understand that most of you are probably banging your heads on your keyboards right now, but please, bear with me. I just want to say my goodbye's here.



CtR- You're a great member. You have been ever since you joined. Even though we don't talk much, I feel like you're the one true friend I've had. You never think twice about dissing another member, you always treat others with respect, and you're always given the respect back. I wish I could be as lucky as you.

Mish- I don't know what happened, but you were also on my 'Bestest friends list'. You're probably the most reliable of the staff. You truly deserve the title.

GIIIIIIIIIRLZ :D- I hope you and the SIIIIIIIIISTAHS 5 get back together. You guys seriously rocked my pants off. ;D A little part of me died when I read Mish's little thread about you guys breaking up and stuffs that one day. Dx

SpLIT²=D0uBLEB1TcH- Thank you for all your help and patience trying to get me through GIMP. I know it must be quite frustrating for a GIMP pimp like you to help a newb like me through that. Thanks again.

Sara- I think you're the best admin on here. Every time I see your name on the Active Members List, I totally behave myself and crawl into a corner. xD Keep it up!

cronoking- It's been...interesting. Keep the sexy up. ;D

KairiXRiku- Read Eclipse, or face my wrath. >_>

Tootsie- I returned your panties to you finally. I'd wash before wearing.

kitty_mckechnie- You're another one of my favorite staff members. I won't be surprised if I see you as an admin or something. Keep it, to.


Alright, that wraps it up. Will I be gone for good? Probably not. I'll stop in every now and then to post a sig, debate, who knows. I'm perfectly aware that most of you who are reading this now don't give a flying ****, and I understand. I wouldn't either. I still have my DA account, MSN, and AOL. You can PM too, I just won't be on much to check it out.


It's been great, but I have grades to catch up and self-esteem to repair.

Much love. <3

Ris.

 

Well so long. Nice having you here, despite what if you think otherwise.

To be honest, why don't you try and do something to rectify the 'ol' days'?

 

I hate to rant on Ris' departure thread but I have to get this out.

I see so many people *****ing and moaning that the forum sucks and that it doesn't compare to the old days. But what to they do about it? Nothing other than leaving. If it upsets you that much DO something about it.

rawr

Okay I'm done.

I'll miss you Ris. I don't know if I ever made that clear but I will miss you.

 

It kinda sounds like you, Foxxie and Madi are complaining because you don't get enough attention.. <__> but it's bound to happen since the forum has grown so much.

As for people being mean, I know what you mean. :/ It's like they feel the only way to seperate themselves from the noobs is to flame people.

Anyways, sad to see you go. D: it's like another part of the old khv has died with your departure.

 

Erm, I never quite experienced the whole 'on the outside looking in' thing here so I don't know. Though at times when I was new it felt like that.
I'm sorry that you havn't got so many friends, but before you leave you could just try and mingle a little like I did. I just basically started to talk with people and now I've got many good friends here. If your old ones leave and doesn't feel like talking much, you could always try and get some new ones.

And I couldn't agree more with the 'forum is starting to become boring' etc. It is. But some of us are trying to make it better and do something about it.

I thought you were a pretty nice gal and it isn't so fun that you're leaving =/. I remember the time I was sick and you bothered to talk with me etc ;33

Anyway since you are, goodbye :33

(btw thanks for the good SIIIIIIIIISTAHS 5 remarks =3)

 

See you then, Ris.

I'll miss having picture wars over who's the hottest with you ;)

...Hey, I got over it.​

 

Dude, I remember the one time when you were like "CnC OR GET OUT OF MY THREAD" And I was like a little noob and a terrified of you ._. And you had a great signature you had made too ._.

*sigh* Ill miss all of the premium members who are leaving ._.

If you have an MSN I might stalk you ._.

 

Awe RIIIIIIS,I never thought you'd make a thread like this :<
I enjoyed talking to you in your UN's and...after reading this thread,it reminded me of that Rock Lee chibi I never did for you and I feel horrible now :<

I will miss ye' lots :c

Edit:Thank you for the panties :3

 

lately every one is talking about how the forum has gone down the drain, but I agree with LF in saying no one is doing anything about it except leaving. If the forum is to get better it has to start with some one. BTW, bye Ris.

 

Wow Ris, I never thought that I'd, me out of all people, would be upset about you leaving. Ive seen you around and Ive always loved your posts, just never gotten around to talk to you.
For those who say 'Stop complaining and DO something about It' well, what can they do? Theres over 10,000 members or something on this site, If they try and DO something about It most people would probably flame.

Take Care Ris.

 

D: No!

You know I am going to miss you like ****! You better take care of my baby godson >:/

D: Normally I don't worry too much when people say they are leaving, but damn too many good people are going now!

*hugs a million* I hope that everything goes fantastic for you ^^ you deserve it, so go be happy and have fun!

I can't think of anything else to say D:

Bye!

<3​
