I remember when I first came here, when I sucked at RPing (and I admit I'm still not that good so your bashing doesn't phase me), that TRF was a place for change and for growth. Boy, that sure didn't last long. I look at the way things have progressed and I am truly disturbed.
TRF has turned into a powergrabbing unit as far as things go. People are so interested in owning a massive chunk of a make-believe galaxy that they'll do anything to get it. That anything means driving people away, yelling at them, calling them names, and everything in between. Truly, you call yourselves adults? I find that funny.
I decided I wanted to come back to this forum early after taking a one month hiatus and decided to ask Ahnk what his plans were for the Rogue Jedi Order. A simple question. And his response? He lambasted me with names, cursed at me, and told me that TRF would suffer because of my return. Last I checked, my being here didn't drive people away or for that matter have an influence in bringing people in, that falls on the entire board.
And you wonder why no one seems to come in and stay except for every once in a while. You're so determined as a whole to say that unless you're the god of writing we don't want you here. This is supposed to be a community in which people actually take the time to help others become better writers. And yes, I know there are some people that won't allow themselves to be fixed.
To another task. I applied through certain channels to see if I could be promoted to Master after having been here for at least five years, probably more, and having been a Knight for two-thirds of that time. Word has reached my ears that I will not be approved, mainly because the staff doesn't like my writing style. Wow. Since when does writing style determine what I can and cannot do? And who made you the judge of my writing, OS? Yes, I'm pointing fingers. I know who you are.
People like OS and Ahnk are the reason that people don't stick around long enough to make an impact and why half the threads in the battlegrounds are done by four or five people and their alternates. So anyways, I'm taking off, for good. We have our own plans.
Beff, Omnae, Wilkar, Seth, Titus, you guys are still cool in my book. Don't stay total strangers. And yes, Beff, we've had our differences, but I can see past that and not be bothered.
Anyways, peace everyone.
