High chances are...

Postby CHERRILOID » Wed Jan 09, 2013 7:53 am

Just so it's known, I've changed my mind. Again. /shot :33

...that I'll be leaving the JBD community.
I know I've said it before...but now's the time where push comes to shove. Now's the time when it's meant to happen.
I feel disconnected. I am really sorry to say, (and no offense intended towards the JBD artists xmx) that I'm not a huge fan of the designs anymore. Sure, they're lovely, and I appreciate that they're still making JBDs, I really do...but they don't really click with me anymore. I'm sorry, but they're not my cup of tea.

On top of that, I can't go on the JBD chat anymore. Ever. Not today, not tomorrow, not in a week, not in a few weeks, not a few months, not a few years. Never. Unless there's something I forgot to include, the reason why is explained in my signature. Me and Eu sorted out a system where I can still talk to everyone in a group, rather than one-on-one...But now, that doesn't feel as though it's going to work for me. I don't want to have to keep on pestering my friends to hand out JM/flockdraw/etherpad/etc links to the people on the JBD chat...and...well...just not going to work. It won't be the same. I only needed one flockdraw to know that people would get bored to easily. People just wanted to draw instead (and I don't blame you, to be honest, considering it seemed new to some of you. Please don't take this the wrong way. x_x;). I figured that actually, people aren't going to flock into one chatroom just to talk to a single member of the community...or someone who used to be a member of the community.

I don't feel attached to it anymore. There's even the stress of popularity that a lot of people seem to see. No, I'm not going to say "JBDS SHOULD SUDDENLY NOT BE POPULAR ::::UUUUU" or anything...but it just doesn't seem like an adorable and innocent community anymore. I got a little bit tired of the roleplaying too...I'm basically unattached to all of it now...All of it.

I don't want it to come to this, but I might have to leave the community. I might have to put Kenna up for re-re-adoption. (and yes I did mean to put "re" twice). I worked so hard to win my first. I waited and waited, and I lost 34 others. I went from highly impatient to pretty patient, "patience is a virtue" even became my new motto (or one of my top ones anyway |D)...but now that I've probably lost about sixty, and I only have one...it feels like a fruitless hunt for something.

I'll likely be leaving the community, so...Adios, I guess. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me but...I've pretty much made up my mind now. Even throughout writing this, I've been thinking about it more and more, and making up my mind more and more. I'll miss the community, but I can't hold onto everything that I used to love.

Farewell, JBDs. Maybe, someday, something I've love so much will come around again. All of a sudden. Like JBDs did to me. Maybe, somewhere, I'll find another place where I can meet probably the best friends I've ever had. But for now, I can only wait.

Farewell, community.

~Ladio

I completely understand, sometimes you just know it's time to leave and I respect your decision.
But know you will be missed very much and that I thought you were a brilliant owner for Kenna.
And I know it's hard under the circumstances (not being able to go on the chat and everything).
Basically, just know that I wish you the best.

I'm not so active here anymore but I do still return daily even if it doesn't seem like it ^^'' I've made some brilliant friends on the website that I'll never forget even if I've never met you face to face, especially through JBDs. However things have changed over my two years here and I miss what it was like.

Update: How was it been 4 years since I joined?!?

Oh no! I am really sorry to hear that. ;n; I do understand though, and I respect your reasons and choices. It is quite a shame though, you will be missed I am 100% sure. I really hope Kenna goes to a loving home, you were a brilliant owner for her! I loved her personality and such. If you need anyone to talk to then I am here. <3 ;u;

I guess they'll be missing out on you
I don't hang around the jbd community much anymore either.
It's just changed too much, it's not the happy little family like way it used to be kind of

But you can't give up Kenna ;3;
No. I watched you work to hard for her and love her to much to give her up.
There is lots of JBD owners who aren't active in the community

    I second this.<3 You're perfectly welcome to keep Kenna even if you're not active in the community.

And I third. Lady, no one should have to give up a JBD just because they may not be active anymore. Heck, most JBD owners are inactive. You've worked much too hard for her, and that feeling you get when you knowyour work has paid off is just..
Please lady, you don't have to give her up. We already know how much you adore Kenna and, at least I, trust that you'll never forget her.
i'm not active here anymore
and no i'm not giving away any of my characters, don't ask
