This would be my sixth year here. Hard to believe, to be honest. In those six years, I've seen people spill their guts about their problems, grow up, and eventually leave this all behind. Fact is, when you're on here, you never quite leave this behind. I think if you look at it, it's not that complicated. We like to write. Some of us love it. Others just like the interaction. Whatever the case, we're here, and we enjoy this. For a long damn time, this just hasn't worked right. Some can blame it on me, and others can blame it on the lack of chat roleplay. Or, if you really look at it, it could just be the change of our lives. Did I delete your sites? Yes I did. I don't regret it, either. If you think I ruined roleplay by torching a few underdeveloped sites with 10 people on it, then you're just looking for someone to blame. It's like it's a race to see who can fuck roleplay up the most. No one does it for the fun anymore, and it's depressing. If you remember, this used to be really fun. Not all the bullshit behind it, not all the fighting, but the actual story part. Christian wanted this back. Ryan wanted this back. Deep down, all of you probably want this back. Me? I don't give a fuck. I'm here with Kara, because regardless of all the bullshit, and regardless of whether this works or not, she and I still enjoy writing with each other.
That's what this is all about, people. I can't put it any clearer than that. If you want it, it's here. The "Dark Days" of roleplay are going to end one way or another. Whether it be by taking things to new heights, or having it die all together. Doesn't matter to me. As long as it's fun, and as long as I have Kara to write with, it doesn't matter. It's your call. We'll be waiting.

Hm..what to say after all of that. I want it back. I've been to board after board, hearing about how 'things are going to be different' and to no surprise, things stay the same. I've taken all of it for the sake of my imagination pouring out into something "productive". All the bull has affected me negatively(some of you know what I'm talking about) and I'm sick of it. I don't know when things started to get personal and people left to do their own thing. This has been one roller coaster of a ride and it has not been easy. I miss the fun, the stories and the random jokes..

I hear ya', guys. I've been surfing boards for a couple of years now. I even singed up on Gaia (you read this right: Gaia) to try and get something out of it. But like most of the other boards around, I'll just quote something a good friend of mine once said: "Gaia is poop, and full of n00bs". That can be said for just every other board out there. Yes activity has fallen off, yes the "Dark Ages of Role playing" are upon us, and yes things have to change and soon. But I think they're right. Once you hit bottom, the only way to go is up. It's just up to the people themselves to get up the gusto to go out there and do something about it; get themselves out of the Hell-hole of lack-luster role playing. I too miss the old and golden days. I too miss the vast sea of intrigue, story lines, combat (my fave part actually lmfao) and the whole dynamic flow of everything across the screen, imagination and time.

Let me get one thing straight to everyone: Only we can make it happen. Not putting the weight of the entire roleplay site onto one person. It's not one person who fucks up a roleplay site; it's everyone. I've been around going on 2 years now and look at this. I've been to every Rewquethin just about, and everysite after that and I fail to grasp the one thing that the very first Rewquethin I had since then: Fun. I didn't know what the hell happened before I got here, and I don't care. Some of you guys who have been saying I miss the glory days to me and shit I got something to say to that: Then do something about it to relive the glory days. Back when I was like 10 and 11 I was interested in RPing and I'm 17 now, getting out of it somewhat. Because it's not as much fun as it was when I was younger but I'm still here to contribute. Most of you know why I'm here also, but let me say it one more time: For all of you. I already told atleast 95 percent of you I'm here because of all you. You're my friends that's why. Friend's do for each other and we're like a family. I deal with shit day and and day out, and there are certain people here that will take time out of their day and let me rant and vice versa. You guys KNOW I'm not a bad guy, and know I'm not an asshole, so come to me if you any problems whether it be on the forums or out of it. It's not right letting this place die also. I've always said I wanted to make it big here, make myself remembered, make myself feel like I did something for the good of roleplay. I realized why I never did: I never had fun when I said that. Whatever happens, happens, as long as we stick it through together. As long you put the effort it, you will get something out. Think about that, and if you need any help, I'm around.

I believe Eric made a very good point...I think one reason why alot of people (myself included) sort of tapered off after every major project was launched is because we miss the old days, for lack of better words. Realizing that the dark days are history and that this is what we have to work with is similar to living life. You can't go back to your innocent childhood days. So I have to agree to what he said: it is what it is, fellas, we just have to go with it and make it mean something. I did want it back, and I'm ready to put myself up to the challenge and steal the limelight again. So with that said...Paul, look me up. We have some unfinished business. I look forward to enjoying some time at this place, and I wanted to be able to thank my good buddy Eric for making it happen as far as site structure is concerned.
