Also, I'm not a fan of the deceit. While we're at it, one side of the argument has more information and evidence while the other doesn't. I understand this is on a completely different level than that of just the members; however, I do understand that the side that has all or most of the evidence usually wins. If you don't have proper leadership support, you're going to fall, no matter WHAT your position is. Don't believe me? Life itself will teach you that lesson. The cost is that a lot of the members here may scatter or pursue other places...
It is at that time, however, that some members must learn to be a little more mature and not just leave because there's an administrative problem. Some members say that it is money; however, if you're not giving into ANY of that money, you lack the right to discuss that word. From what I've read (I have read ALL 11 pages, btw), it sounds like the donations came from people who aren't really here anymore. Once again, I stress that if it isn't YOUR money, you do NOT have a say about the WORD money. If the problem is something else, as I see it really is, then discuss about that please.
While we're at it, that's like leaving your job because more rules have been put in place that you don't like. Ask yourself if you really have the time to find another job? Ask yourself if you really have the time to dedicate to another place...
If you do, then good luck to you and may your endeavors be pleasant *is saying this to EVERYONE*.
Kuro stays here. Not that I don't like all of the people I've ever interacted with, and if anyone wants to find me, please obtain my email or MSN or Yahoo IM from my profile before they leave. I have found this place pleasing with the current members/merged members I have met, and just because something has happened doesn't mean I need to disappear. Honestly-if I had the time to do so, I wouldn't mind following Emeralda myself except...
I don't have the ability to dedicate myself to many forums due to my working all the time, and I'm already active in another forum besides this one. I don't honestly think I could operate on THREE while doing everything else I do online in my LIMITED TIME online at all.
I'll be sad to see some of you leave if you do, but I've enjoyed almost everyone here.
P.S. Before anyone gets on MY case, I used to be a former moderator for AnimeTempest. I also have not mentioned anyone else's screen name besides Emeralda's and that was for the sake of making a statement that wasn't offensive. If you want to come at me, come at me with maturity and decency in your statements. Otherwise, I'll ignore you; my right to do so. Thank you.
