The "Let it out" Thread

[Mistery]

Thank you very much Escape
You have always been a dear friend, and have always been caring very much, thank you for that I know that you would help if you could - but as you said, unfortunately you can't - we have to help ourselves in this case
I'm going to take care, and I really hope that I can come back very soon with a smile on my face
Please also take good care of yourself

Oh, dear Mistery... I'm SO sorry from the bottom of my heart that you are facing such difficulties in real life and on the forum. I wish I could take on some of your hardships and help you however I could...

But I can't. And I know that. I do hope that you take good care of yourself during your absence from the forums. You are a wonderful dear friend, and I hope to see you again soon. Smiles and all. Please take care of yourself and your family. You know my email if you ever want to talk while you're away. I will miss you dearly.

Whenever you see a cat, I hope you know it's me just checking in on ya.

I'm very glad to see that all the things that have been said, have been treated with respect, and that there is a great effort on all sides to take this forums back to what it used to be: a place for fun, comfort, distraction, and a big family.
I hope that everyone will continue to work on this. Conflicts happen in the best families, but there is always a way to clear them, and to leave them behind to face a happier future.

As for me, it's time to go for a while.
During the past months, we (me and my little family) have gone through a series of dreadful events. This forums has always given me the comfort and distraction that I needed in difficult times, but in the past weeks it has put more pressure on me than it could take away from me - not only with the issue mentioned here, but also some other things that I had to deal with and to take care of.
I'm not saying this to offend or to blame anyone, please don't take it wrong Certain things just happened at a time when my own resources have been too low to balance them out, due to those events that my family has been confronted with - that's all

I (together with my husband) need time now to focus on solutions for the real-life issues we had to face, and to find a way to cope with them. And I need time to dry my tears and to find back my smile.

I'm going to disable my PMs for the time of my absence, because I don't want that members who may not see this message think that I'm ignoring their questions, requests, reports etc.

Please continue to enjoy this great forums, take good care of yourself and of each other. I'll be back soon, goodbye my friends

That is beautiful singing. Taken from a choirboy.

@Sandbox
I don't know to what comments you refer to that were rude. If there were any I agree an apologize would be in order. But so far I know, there weren't made any rude comments by any of us moderators.
The only rude posts I see are those who accuse us of having double standards. I am not saying I never broke any rules. It happened I accidentally created a double post or that I spoiled too much info of a riddle while I didn't know I was spoiling too much. But I didn't do it on purpose and I always corrected as soon as I realized. And it isn't like we give out warnings or ban people who breaking the rules accidentally. Although I remember we were accused for doing this. But that's ridiculous.

@Adventure

Thank you for letting me know that my account will be deleted as I requested. I only wish, that someone would have let me know what was going on, instead of my misunderstanding what was happening.

To all my dear friends

Lately we have all been through a very hard time. We are all hurt but it is time for a new beginning. We should start a new chapter and leave the old one behind. I want to see everyone happy on the forums. A big hug to everyone

[Kahnescanuck]

I can only make a brief post (on my way to work) *groans* This is what I mean by a sense of community and family. Mistery you are greatly appreciated!! During the last few months it was easy to see how much work and dedication you put towards this forum and I hope to learn from you. I can tell you are also a kind & caring person. Lilliputt, I'm glad to hear you are reconsidering to stay in the forums! To everyone, big squishy group hug

Looking forward to playing some new games when I get home from work!

Gotta go bye!

This is my last post for this issue. I don't want to continue it. Just some last thoughts. I'm so happy that the things are better now. I don't think that any of the members wanted to hurt someone else. I can understand that the mood isn't the same all the time... I wish the healing would be quick so things would take its natural route.I want to feel that i'm coming to a place where i find my all-over-the-world friends and have good time with them. I want to say a big thank you to all the mods that are doing the best they can and to all the members that just being here in the forum. I might forgot something but i don;t wantmy post to be long.. So, a big hug to all

I've been out for a while cause of my courseworks (which are finally finished) and came in today to read all this posts, it realy breaks my heart. But I am happy to see that all of people (involved or not) are really try for this place to become the happy place I visit, to kill my stress, to forgot my anger and pain, the same place I met when I firstly enrolled. All people in here are wonderful and they take care each other (to my eyes they are most wonderful than the real people I met while I am abroad, as well while I am home)

I don't want to repeat what is was heard so many times in this thread (I am a chicken not a parrot lol again, a chickenish humour XD) . What I want to say is that we are here to put big

to all members. And I found mine since I became a member, where everyone welcome me with big hugs, and I hope very soon everyone will again have that "for no reason, no good reason at all" silly smile in their faces

Chicken Out......bipbipbip

(P.S. sorry it is hard for me to be serious )

[Hugo_Smith]

Although I did not see the argument, and I haven't been on much lately, I am happy that we can put this behind us now.

[Crimsonthread]

Thank you, Selena. That was one of the main reasons I started this conversation, and I am very happy to know that it's been taken care of. I also look forward to a time of healing, and hope that we can move into a time of happiness here. Once more, I apologize if my posts have hurt or offended anyone... but I'm glad the air has been cleared.

Dear members,

We have all heard your opinions, and they have not been said in vain. You have all been heard. I would really like to see this forum return to what it has always been to me. And that is a place where I could go to relax, play some games, and chat with all the wonderful members. I have a very high respect for all the members and moderators of this forum. I think the people here are some of the nicest and most fun people around. I'm deeply saddened by all that has happened in the past several weeks. It hurts to see my friends hurting. It hurts to see the forum divided. And, as a member of the moderation team, it hurts to hear accusations, just as I know and understand that some of the members have been hurt as well.

I would like to ask, as a member, that we try to put this entire conflict behind us, so that all of us can start to heal. I know that many comments made have hurt members and moderators alike. However, I feel that the disputes surrounding this entire conflict should be handled directly with the members/moderators involved as they were the only ones who know all sides of the story. I am by no means saying that conflicts cannot happen here or that you must not voice any opinions. I just would like to see EVERYONE start to heal and move on, and become the family we all once were. I know that I, for one, have always found this forum a place to go where I could release some of the stress of the problems I'm facing in my life (which are very horrible at the moment), and now it seems the forum has been turned upside down with hurtful comments and hurt feelings coming from everyone on all sides. I know that this is not what ANY of the people involved in the dispute would want. I think we have all gathered here for similar reasons, and to see it go through such turmoil is hard. I would like to see those involved take a step back from the situation so that they can all begin to heal, and then, if possible, take steps to mend the misunderstandings and disputes that have taken place among them, or to let it go, and move on so they can soothe their anger and heal their wounds. I say all these things as a member of this forum. We are all human. We all have our off days, bad moods, sad moods, antisocial moods... No single member, and no single moderator, no single human - is perfect, and therefore mistakes and misunderstandings can happen. I hope that we can all move forward from this, and hopefully see something that can be learned.

To begin the steps forward, please know that the posts with which the argument began, have been deleted. I hope we can all move forward and once again feel comfortable at this forum.

[Crimsonthread]

Thanks, RBS. I think that's what we all want here--and unfortunately, sometimes people have to blow off steam before the air can be cleared.
