This is my official departure

So yes, I'm officially leaving and all that now. I no longer feel like this place is my home, and while it used to be an escape from reality for me it no longer is. I don't leave the troubles of my real life only to come on here and have to deal with the bullies and cliques that are far to existent here. There are people who think it's okay to hide behind their computer screens and bully people and make fun of them and accuse them of anything they want because the internet is anonymous for the most part. What the hell makes you think it's okay to do that, why is it not cool for you to be bullied in real life but you can come on here and do it? How many of you have complained about the cliques and popular kids at school and wished that those things didn't exist? Why then is it okay for you to form the popular cliques here and leave people out? I'm sick of people being left out and/or ignored because they aren't part of the in crowd.

I expect a lot out of the staff of forums, I expect more than what the staff is here. While not all of them are like this there are staff members here that make it very clear who their favorites are and that's not cool. Being an admin on two forums that I created and own on my own I know what the pressures are that come with being a staff member, but we're supposed to be able to rise above that. The staff is supposed to set an example and the staff here certainly does that, but it's a bad example. They have the rules in the cbox and the site, but more often than not they break the rules themselves. They talk about being drunk, having drugs, and sex way too much on the cbox and if this site is supposed to be a family friendly site than that needs to stop. No 12 year old that wants to join the site is going to stay if that keeps happening.

It bothers me that something that originally started as something I love deteriorated into more of a torture and a struggle to stay here. It was like the problems and things that were stressing me out in real life were following me online and I couldn't deal with it, it wasn't doing anything to help me anymore. The accusations and bullying continues on from my real life into my roleplaying life and I don't deserve that. I devoted hours and hours to this site creating characters and making threads and trying to help it in any way I could. My reward was accusations of theft and other things that annoyed me and hurt me. I'm sorry to everyone I had threads with and the friends I made here, but this isn't my home anymore. I don't deserve to be treated this way, not by people who don't have any right to treat me that way, who do it simply because they can hide behind their computer screens.

So yeah, I'm done here, I won't delete my account, I suppose it can just collect dust here until the end of time or the internet, whichever comes first. Bye.
