Hello there, it's me again and with something I need to make public.

After the 27th of March, I will resign my rights as a Chat Moderator and from that point onward no longer go on chat as I do. Yes, I'm leaving the wiki.

If you went, "Ok," stop reading and go do something else now as this may not be for you. If you're going, "What is going on here," then do stay.

I have my reasons for leaving respectfully, one of them is that chat really hasn't been too fun to go on to anymore, and it feels a bit more stressful every day now. I've said it before, but the word would be redundancy here.

Another is how much time I've spent here. I've been on chat every day for two years now unless I was sick or something. I put aside most of my projects to moderate it but I believe I went too far with that when I find myself dropping everything because of something in chat.

Some of the chat has felt toxic to me, I honestly don't feel well sitting in chat anymore, let alone speaking. There's also been times where I didn't feel respected as a moderator by some users.

I really can't say any names, but there's someone I talk to on and off chat a lot, and I've felt limited in communicating with them in chat because of certain events long ago, it doesn't feel right nor has it recently even though it shouldn't be like that.

To anyone asking if it's an attention stunt; No, it's not. I assure you once I have my rights removed that's pretty much it.

To anyone asking if it's a call-out post; Okay you've missed the point of this so please stop reading and do something else.

If you're asking if this is humorous: No.

if you're asking if I'm EVER gonna come back; Not exactly. There might be a time where I'll visit once in awhile but it'll be nowhere near frequent like I normally was. If anything, expect once a month for me to come back on chat and only that.

If you're asking if someone else wants or told me to leave; No, this is all on my own accord. I assure you that.

If anyone wants me to stay here; I'm sorry, I honestly don't like coming here anymore. Unless something extremely serious happens, I have no intentions in staying here.

Before you reply on here or on chat, I ask that you all try to be calm about it. Just to let you know, "what the hell" isn't really ideal.

And this brings me to the last thing I must say.

'''If you're a friend of mine, regardless if you want me to leave or not, you'll respect the decision I've made. If you can't, I honestly think we're not friends... Because they would have understand. They would understand why I want to leave and wouldn't try to stop me.'''

Someone might say that my friends would have helped to keep me away from this decision... Well, that's another talk for another day, and another place.

After the night of March 27th, my mod rights will be gone and more than likely so will I. If you still want to keep in touch with me outside of here, I have a FB on my page if that's your thing, but there's no obligation to if you don't want to.

It's not like leaving is the best thing ever, there will be some things I will miss, but I feel that if I left, it would be better for myself as a person. I for sure won't forget anyone here and so many events before now, as most of my young adulthood was spent here.

I will continue to moderate and talk on chat as normal up until my departure. There will be one last thread the night I leave if anything else needs to be said. Thank you for your time, and please understand.
