I understand why Areis is mad, for it is the same reason why I was upset with the entire thing. First of all, when you spend a lot of time on an rp, making up characters, getting a good story going...and then we have to go to a whole new site....it makes the transition awkward in a way. I didn't like that at all, but the both of us got over it and started to work on our post without anymore complaints. Areis, on the other hand, had complaints about the other site. And why not? You all wanted feedback from members about the site, and she was giving it. Areis is not one to sugar coat her words thus....she was blunt about her ideas on the site. Those that know her should know that. None the less, she still was an active member as was I.
Now, as we're getting into the site, getting used to everything...all of a sudden, BAM...now it's time to go back to the other site. What?! Okay, so there goes our new stuff stuck on some other board..and now we are going back to the old board? As a writer, it's kind of annoying having a story split up on two different sites...hence why we were upset yet again. And then on top of that, our "forced" to be unactive thread....gets archived while everyone else's thread, which had been even more inactive before the switch to the other site, were still sitting pretty in their usual spot. What? That makes sense how? So yes, we got upset again. We were going to deal with the fact that we would have to switch back again, but then to see that? What do you think we're going to think?
Continuing on, we voice our opinions of our disproval after I even fixed up such a strange mix up on my own for the thread in question. Again, Areis is stronger with her words than I can be, as she's one to lay it on straight and usually thick lol, that's just her. None the less....someone out of nowhere comes in and tells us to give it a rest, because our thread wasn't deleted....That's not the point...None the less, the both of us are over it as we're already continuing our posts and everything.
Now I am here to defend Areis...Why should she back off? She is a member of this site, she has the right to have her voice heard. Heck if I was like Areis, having a strong voice when typing on forums like she does...I would have probably up and left this site out of feeling rather kicked down by seeing our topic in the "archived" bin...and locked even. Oh and another thing, I'm an admin and that's the thread I frequent...why wasn't I contacted on the decision for it to be archived? None the less, I'm only voicing this now because well....everyone's attacking Areis now for voicing her opinions when I think she has the right to. I was going to let it go and everything, and I still will because I'm not going to let this get to me...However, I did take offense of the entire situation, and I take offense of you harking on Areis because she too was offended and is voicing this.
I know this may seem a bit harsh coming out of me, but those are the breaks. An Admin needs to be able to take the pressure as it's what builds the site. Plus, we have to listen to the voices of the members or this site is never going to grow. And just so you know, many of us are having bad times ourselves...especially Areis though it is not something I have the right to discuss. None the less, those are the breaks.
