If you would like to know why we'd be happy to tell you...all you have to do is ask. I'm not putting my stuff out there for all your readers though. The reason I did not think to include you in the news is because...as you said you let go of the community quite a while ago. You disbanded the only live journal account I knew you to have. Until told about THIS post I had no idea you were even back on LiveJournal. You disbanded your old Twitter and again I had no idea you had a new one. I haven't seen you're facebook posts in months maybe because we are on different sides of the world and I miss them. The point is...when you let go of the community you virtually disappeared out of my life and I didn't think....a year and a half later...to tell you.
And quite frankly stuff happens. life happens. we all try to do our best to keep our heads above water and when we can't give 100% to something we'd rather see it go out as a success rather than fade away into mediocrity. I worked my butt off when I was a part of that site and I felt like if I can't do it then I need to walk away. When everyone feels like that what more can you do...
Also I would like to point out the fact that we posted our "site is being shut down" announcements months ago and you are only now just noticing?! If you cared about the site and visited it...you would have seen it and you could have saved it then.
I am walking away from this self righteousness because I can't let anger dwell in me...my life is too crazy for it....feel free to email me any questions or issues you want to discuss.
Hey hun, I wasn't having a go. Seriously, I said that several times. I hold nothing against you guys for shutting it down, please, I'm sorry if you misunderstood me. I was shocked yes, hurt a little, yes, but not because you guys didn't email me personally, mainly because I see sammi and you occassionally around a bit on FB and I didn't see it mentioned there so I came acorss it without warning, but I know you guys have all been busy with real life stuff, so have I. I think the whole timezone thing has a lot to do with not seeing each other online, but I know you understand that.
I've barely been on LJ up until a few weeks ago, ask anyone on my flist. I've not only had grandparent fall terminally ill, I've quit my job of 8 years and just moved cities away from family and friends, and have been busy studying and job hunting, so yes, I know life happens to all of us.
As I stated in my post that I knew you guys had no obligation to tell me anything, only that because I still consider you guys friends with me, i thought Sammi or Tonia would have mentioned something in a casual post.
I wasn't attacking you, so I don't know why you think I'm being self righteous. I was only posting about something that I had helped create, was proud of, and up until posting this entry thought was a thriving community and going well.
I did nothing but defend the actions of you guys, because they didn't need defending. I've sent tweets to Sammi and Tonia, in my shock, asking about BP, but I haven't heard back from them yet.
I went looking for you on twitter, and I only deleted by kailorien account only 2 days ago in order to create my new one btw, but I couldn't find you.
I knew your life was crazy. On the rare occassions I get to speak to Sammi, she said you were going through some life stuff, and I didn't want to interfere considering it'd been such a long time since we'd spoken properly and I didn't want you thinking I was doing it out of being nosey.
In defense of deleting my old LJ account, I gave people ample warning (like 3 weeks!) about the fact that I was still going to be around, they only needed to ask for my new username if they wanted to stay on my flist. I deleted that journal because of all the negetive shit I was going through with losing my four little sisters to a fucked up government, so yeah, I needed to deal with moving forward and I let people know that.
But I do think of you, often, with a great fondness, and I enjoy seeing your updates, please don't see this post as an attack on you personally Ris, I know you did a wonderful job with BP! (I said that in my post) I was just shocked, and wanted to know what had happend for it not to be there anymore.
So if you can take a moment, re-read my post and know that I wasn't attacking you (because you are awesome, and you know I have always thought so), but see it from my perspective and let me know what happend with BP, I would be grateful.
