The "Let it out" Thread

[gh1]

I love you Mistery

[Crimsonthread]

Mistery--

As it is early for you, it's late for me, so I'm only making a brief post here. I'll probably make a longer post tomorrow after work. For now, I'll say that I truly do appreciate everything you do for this forum, and that I can only imagine the pressure you feel from being in your position here. Thank you for all you do.

[Lilliputt]

Dear Mistery, if we made a diagram of what you have done for Gamershood and what I have done, your pin would shoot up into the sky like a skyscraper, disappearing somewhere into the clouds... while my little dot would look like a bit of dust, barely visible. I am not, and no one else is disputing what a goldmine you are for this forum or how much you mean to the members in here. I have appreciated your help, your encouragement and your creativity for a very very long time and I have seen you as a loved friend. My friend.
I have not asked for an apology from you but it is an elegant gesture, thank you. As for my apology, I am glad you accept. Because you have shown good will, I will reconsider my account to be deleted. Perhaps there is still a possibility for me to regain trust, I don't know.

This has had consequences for me aswell but I will not tell in what way because I don't find it relevant. I hope this dispute of opinions will settle too.

@Leontien
I think I will let your opinions rest because... well, to be honest I don't understand most of them and find them confusing
To the people issue here is all I have to say
"Yes, of course we realize that you're human. We expect that you'll make some mistakes. But we also expect you to admit to them and make things right, because you are in a position of leadership and that's what responsible humans do."

In conclusion I take my hat off for Mistery

I really didn't want to jump into this not being directly involved so I will just make a general observation.

I found the Forums sections by accident. I had no idea what I was doing but found kind people here. Many of those people were moderators who also help to keep the unkind out of the Forums. We should always appreciate that.

Counting on you to find the kindness and forgiveness you showed me to each other. Thats the spirit of this place.

[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.

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]

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.

[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.

[Elni]

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 )

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

[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!

[Eternal Becky]

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

[RBS]

In the spirit of the Forum and the spirit I feel in my heart for each and everyone of you I will add my last post with something to share with you.

@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.
