Arrevaderci, B.net.

Relevant. I recommend just listening to it as you use this site today. Title says it all. For the past two weeks, I have been extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with this web service. I dedicated the past two weeks to trying fix the issues of this site as best as possible, but with an uncooperative and sometimes openly hostile moderation team and an uncaring and detached webteam, my efforts have been for the most in vain. Even my multiple suggestions to increase the number of moderators has backfired, as they recruited people who are not solving the problem; rather they are aiding it. I have felt unwanted and unwelcome by this site and those who are supposed to be tending to it. Earlier this year, I would have given anything to be a Forum Ninja. While I didn't show it as openly and zealously as I did when I first joined, I still wanted nothing more. To be able to help this site grow, to mentor and help people, to keep order; it was all I wanted. I wanted to be one of those chosen few who protect the users of this site from monsters like Rose and Warmaster. Somethings happened in my life back in late July; things that somehow helped me realize this dream would never be fulfilled. And, with that revelation, I became one of the monsters I once sought to protect this site from. I became vindictive, cruel, and uncaring; I took pride in tormenting users both new and old. And for this; you have my apologies. I would like to express my regret and my humblest apologies to the moderators who deserve it, and to the forums of this site and those who populate them. It is because of what I have become, that I have decided to leave this site. To those who I consider my friends, I will still use my Xbox LIVE; so if you wish to get in contact with me you can use that service to do so. Cowpie, Halosniper; if you guys ever need to talk to me, message me on here and I'll talk to you. I will still use Mobile for it's Destiny data, but that is it. I will not respond to messages sent by anybody else. I would like to say farewell to anybody from the TFL chat, and those others who I have talked to often on here regardless of what groups they're in. Jane, you were right. While I don't regret the actions I took, I regret who I took them against; and what those actions have turned me into. You along with Rocket and a few others have revealed to me through both past and present words that I have let this site corrupt me once more. And for this, I once again apologize to the users of this site. I became the villain. We all resent people like Warmaster and Rose, but what have we become to the Destiny users? While I do not condone the actions of those monsters, we have no right to turn around after what they did to us and emulate them to the Destiny users. I am the most guilty of this; and because of that I encourage you all to continue peaceful countermeasures like those Blonic and I have set up and deployed. Continue the petitions, continue the on-topic posting storms, continue telling those who are spamming Community and Gaming that they are doing wrong, correct them, and tell them where to post. We older users are to mentor and teach the newer users; not horrify and scar them. Flood; from here, the fight will be your own. Don't stoop to their level; don't become a forum of nothing but Warmasters and Roses. To the moderators, I yet again express my apologies; but I have something else to say as well. When I first joined this site a few years ago, I saw you guys and I was awestruck. You were all responsible, just, and fun. You were the ideal users; you upheld the CoC and did so zealously. I wanted nothing more than to join your ranks and aid you in this. Your recent actions are one of the things that dissuaded me. You have fallen; you have become lazy and detached. You all were once feared and respected; the stuff that is going on now wouldn't have happened 3 years ago. You can all say that the CoC changed, but have your powers? Have you lost the ability to move threads? To ban users? On the old site, you all would have worked together with the users of this site to purge forums that had been taken over by spam and offtopic posts. You did so with Zanzibar, the Flood, Halo 3, Reach, and so many other forums. Shame on all of you; you volunteered for the positions you now hold, and yet you no longer carry out the responsibilities that come with them. Shame on you. To Recon and Predator; you are the only two Ninjas I still have any respect for, so I will say farewell to you two. Recon, if you see this when you finally get back online; goodbye. I have respected you since the day I first met you on here; you are funny, knowledgeable, and just. I am sorry for all the times I made you ban me; I should have been a better user. To Predator, I consider you and I to be very like-minded; the only distinctive difference between us being what roles we play in this site. I would have enjoyed getting to know you better, but that will most likely not happen based on what is currently happening in my life. On 9/29/2014, I will no longer be using this site. I will be extremely inactive this week, but I wanted to make my last few days on here memorable. If any of you are interested, I would enjoy playing some games with you all these next few nights. I'd like to spend time with the users I have gotten to know, and those I have not. Consider this my final tour. Goodbye, Bungie.net; my memories of this site and the time I have been on here have been pleasant to me. May Lord Francis guide you all. Frogblast the ventcore.
