As the title says. I am leaving. There is nothing here for me anymore.
It pains me to write this thread intro. All the people I am leaving, both friends and foes, mostly all of those I've known in my fours years on TFU and TFG. My time has come, for which that slays me within. As you read this, both new and old members, be warned that I am holding nothing back. This is how I feel about TFG, now that I have finally seen it.
The staff is non-productive, and merely use their titles for superiority and to bypass rules.
It is true, most of the staff are lay backs and do nothing. Even I was one that fell to my laziness, but still tried to maintain order within the members. Others do not share my half ass attempts, for which some are more priorities on either working on fanfictions, and others are using their staff rank to achieve personal goals that only benefit themselves, like taking over the entire forum. I would like to keep these staffers nameless, for which you will see after my departing. Other members are trapped, or are actually doing there jobs for the common good. Such as Skyspray (Aquahaze), who actually does his job in the Character Workshop. Even my good friend Feenixfire Lockheart talks about how she works so hard for the autobots, and nobody gives her any support.
OOC wise, it's practically every man for themselves.
Once a week there is at least one fight between members in the skype and normal chat. They blow up at each other, call out certain people because of their roleplay actions, and even talk about how dumb other's rp plot ideas are. Yes, there are the few noob mistakes, but calling someone's hard working plot a waste of time is horrible. On the opposite side of the stick, there are those who complain and Glitch when there ideas don't go through, and aim insults at the staff and other members. Some even outright rant about how much their life sucks because of others. I get it, I try to keep my bad day Glitching down, but things get way to chaotic when your Glitching starts a fight. Sometimes I can't even trust to share an idea, only because I'm worried others might try to take credit for it, or even tell me how useless and stupid it is. Most of you do not see this, but I see it every day.
TFG isn't TFU
Compared to the lively place I onced called TFU, TFG has been in a downfall since it opened. The clings are insane, it's man against man warfare OOC wise, The staff is partially lazy, and rping seems like a chore. Guys, it's dying, TFG is eventually going to be a battlefield of 'who's the greatest of them all'. When I had volunteered to be apart of the staff, I envisioned a happy community with an open staff, one who is hardworking and open to any suggestions. I anticipated everyone to welcome new members like they were old friends, and open board plotting for large events. But no, everything is behind closed doors. Everyone fights like there's going to be a nuclear war. Ya'll can run to your fallout shelters, because I'm going to embrace death like grown up.
Before you ask, I'm not Okay
I can't explain why, or what happened. But I am not okay. I have reached a breaking point on this site. A certain someone blew up at me and told me that I was no good for nothing, and I was just a little fifteen year old with big dreams and useless talents. This person told me I was no longer a part of his game, and said it was best that I left.
So that's what I'm doing. I am letting TFG win.
I am done with TFG, and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to come back RP wise. Those of you; My friends, my Enemies. If you want to find me, you know where to look. But I beg you. If you are questionable of whether TFG was your nice TFU- you are wrong. It's merely a patch of dying flowers compared to TFU.
Below are some messages for my closest friends.
Taggon
My dear friend, this message is primarily for you.
As much as you don't like Skype, I don't intend on coming back to TFG. So if your still up to talk to me- despite everything I've just said. You might want to consider making an account.
Feenixfire Lockheart
Stay strong. That's all I can say. You know where to find me if you ever need me
Gateway
I just wanted you to know that I'm going to miss you. And so will Dragbeat
Agent_Razor SECT
Hey. I know your never around. But if you ever come back you this is where I went.
@stellene
I know you just got back. But I know I'm going to miss you
Skyspray (Aquahaze)
I'm sorry I'm letting you down with Stormgear. I give you all character rights to her. You can find somebody else to play Sky's gf XD
and Alas, this is my parting. I wish you all the best of luck. Once I leave, you can take my admin powers away. I only as that you make my username pink. #MaytheChatCatBeWithYou

Tch.
I really do not see the point of thinking the board is 'dying'.
But if you're going to leave, I can't stop you.

What about the big Astrinal vs Backbeat fight?! It's a shame we can't finish that... But if you are still looking at this I have a few words I have to say...
I think you one of the greatest mods we ever had, but I disagree with you... You don't let TFG win... You burn as much of it down before they force you off stage... Just kidding...
You see here is what I've learned over the years, you don't stop because a bunch of Negatrons destroyed up your Death Ray... You build a machine to DESTROY THEM AND TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE!
An while I have no right to stop you from leaving... I will say this, this community will miss you. You were a fun person to RP with and probably the nicest Mod around and the site will be a darker place without you.
Take care.

CallMeAst♥ If you still come around and PM me your Skype address, then I would be more than willing to speak with you. I am very sad to see you go, leave this place. Heck, I had to take a few minutes to clear my head when I read this first. Like Backbeat, I do believe you were one of the most fun Admins on the site, and TFG will be taxed of some very good creativity with you taking your absence. In all honesty, I sort of am at a short of words, and what some of my characters are to do from now on has come to a halt. Don't get me wrong, I have thoroughly enjoyed rping with you throughout your time here, whether Ic'ly I was your friend or enemy. ;-; I will hopefully see you again, but until then, goodbye, and so long.

Ast... me and you haven't always been on good terms, but the site lost someone with you. Take care. Don't forget us. Goodbye, Astrinal. *salute*

I have no doubt what you say is true Astrinal. I complained about a month ago about the ship stuff and how it was kept behind closed doors.
This is a problem when the community is not in control, but merely a few people.
In less than a year I could see this place go down the toilet, and that day will be scary.
Goodbye Astrinal, you and I haven't always gotten along, but I will say you will be missed.

I have to say I agree with your points.
It's a shame to see you leave Ast especially since I've known you since the TFU days. Remember when we tried to start an rp on TFUHQ and failed miserably? Yeah me too. If it helps though Ast was Rip's favorite person to flirt with around base. Peace out Astrinal *throws up peace sign*.

I... Hate it when this happens. I don't ever explicitly recall fighting with you, but I do remember the old TFU days, especially CWE. May we meet again, and farewell Astrinal. *salutes*
