well, i joined this site in the hopes that it would be more active than my previous two, and i am highly discouraged to note that i have been proven wrong. this site is really inactive as of late, and that leaves me bored and alone. i have nothing to reply to and i'm want to be involved in things, not hang on to a site that's obviously going to fade away or just be blatantly ignored. i read on one of the other topics on the subject of dropping this site completely that we've been reported which, honestly, isn't surprising to me in the slightest. you've disrespected proboards' tos and disagreed with their rules on numerous occasions, and i kept my tongue, but now that i'm leaving completely i see it unnecessary to do so as of now.
i'm sorry about the abruptness and shortness of this post, and also my tone of voice, but i see no use. your rules and attitude as of late are ridiculous, i think, and this was better than just leaving without notice.
okay, i don't see why we were reported and maybe it's all in your head that we were reported for actual reasons, idk whatever, we didn't break any rules by TOS. using tinypic to host our URL's isn't "illegal" it's actually common in general and a lot of people used it before the TOS was even updated. so that's that. "on numerous occasions" yeah OK you didn't really have a mind to say so i'll assume that's in your head as well.
and since you're leaving i won't have to really hold my tongue either, if there's people as uptight and prickly as you, we don't even want you. consider yourself booted, not voluntarily leaving.
gossamer and sites in general need loving members and people who are willing to stick through high and low, as well as be understanding. you can't point a finger at us as a site and say we are doing things 'wrong' and not be partial to blame with that kind of attitude; if you leave over some minor bumps, you're contributing to the problem. be the change you want to see.
it's extremely disrespectful to me that you blame us for the inactivity. i cannot run a site if people are busy with their lives. you stay or you go. there's no gray area as of now. if you, fossil, had put in work on getting members to post as well as yourself, things might have been different.
as for being reported, we have not been. there hasn't been anything to report, as all my conversing has been in the cbox.
if you are referring to my url change, hotlinking itself is actually WRONG. uploading your image to a new place is the CORRECT way to share any image, because we aren't using the other site's BANDWIDTH.
