Can't fight fate
Seriously. Those of you who have been here for an extended period of time... can't you feel something's not right here? I certainly feel it. Truth to be told, I've been feeling like that for quite a while now. The club is not what it used to be. The RP activity has dropped (when I came here a year ago, at least 6-7 Rps were in session, now look at the Forum section!), the fanart activity is decreasing as well and there are barely any new polls or quiz questions. This was used to be my “happy place”, where I can get away from all the burdens, complexities and ugliness of life for a bit. But now, misunderstandings, conflicts, confrontations and fights erupt between the members. The most active contributors are leaving, or become inactive.
I first noticed something's changed 3-4 months ago. The degradation has been spreading exponentially ever since. If we don't figure out something to reverse the process, I fear this club will be a ghost town within half a year. I'm not overreacting, I've seen it and I'm a media analyst. My job is to determine certain trends and patterns. I'm only saying all this, because I care about the club and most importantly, the people I met and befriended here. It hurts to see them fight and hurts even more to see them leave, once I got to know them. It's like losing a family member. Yes, I care about the club and you guys, but I do not wish to experience this painful feeling any more. I managed to vanquish the negative energies twice, but I don't have the will and strength to fight it off the third time.
The way I see it now, I will stay until Season 4 ends and finish all the impending projects I have, before leaving the club. The events of the recent past and a few things I've read today settles it for me. I've been sensing it for quite some time now; I tried to resist, I tried to deny it, but it's true. Can't fight fate...
Before you ask, no, I won't commit suicide or anything like that, but I admit, a huge part of me will die when I leave this place. The end is near.
