So, I fail.
Okay, you guys deserve an apology. A big, huge one and I don't think I even have enough words that would completely fulfill what I need to say here, but I'm going to try to give an explanation because you at least deserve that even if I don't have the words to say 'I'm sorry.'
So, the real reason this community died? Partially because it was getting too much for me to handle, yes, but the main reason is even more stupid than that. It's all because I couldn't finish my giftee's gift for Christmas, and I kept putting off everything as I tried to finish that. So, even moreso than everybody else, I apologise to the people of the Christmas gift exchange and especially to sableambiguity because I am completely incompetent and you deserved a better gift-giver than myself. I'm sorry I could never finish anything. And I apologise doubly to everybody who pitched in last minute for those who didn't have many gifts or any at all, because you guys went above and beyond the call of duty and here I am, somebody who's supposed to be in charge and leading the way for the community, and I couldn't even get one thing done.
That said, I'm going to go unlock the gifts as soon as I post this and if I could ask just one small favour of the people here after all I, well, haven't done -- go shower Sable in gifts, because she deserves it. I wish I could've made this post ages ago instead of today so that all of these Christmas gifts weren't 6 months late.
So here's what I'm going to do for the comm: I'm going to reboot everything. If you're a moderator for a team, I'm going to temporarily kick you out of the position so that I can give the new owner(s) of this comm a fresh start. However, I will put your names at the end of this post (well, two of them won't be because they were never active) so that whoever does start this again knows who was in the position previously. I'm going to kick out all of my co-mods, who never really did anything anyway (not that that's their fault, I never asked them for any help even when I should have).
I am going to ask somebody, or some people, to take over the position I failed to uphold and get this community back on its feet. AtLA is a great show, and with a movie coming out there is so much that could be done with this community. I hope whoever takes control after me will do a much better job at maintaining this place than I did -- not that that would be hard to do.
You people are fantastic. I had a hell of a time running this comm in the beginning, and that's mostly because you guys did brilliant things. I am so sorry that I let you all down as badly as I did.
I also want to apologise to the people I avoided when they contacted me -- I'm a coward. It has to be said. I don't like confrontation, and when it stares me in the face I turn tail and run away. You deserved better than that, and I'm so incredibly sorry that it took me this long to say anything to you, and I still can't say it to your faces -- or, well, the internet equivalent of your faces.
I think that's it. Here is the list of moderators for communities that I'm going to de-mod, but whoever takes over should know that they all did a wonderful job when the community was running. Dunno if they're still around, but here they are:
Earth Kingdom
neldluva
beckyh2112
Fire Nation
aerodactylus
Air Nomads
kateison
crystaldrake
Water Tribe
sableambiguity
Now I'm off to unlock those gifts and de-mod. Please, anybody willing to take over, post here.
