I've been trying to inforce some ruling here. It's what Admins and Mods should do. But everyone thinks I'm just cruel, picking on people. I have nothing against people. I'm not afraid to even tell admins off if they have done something wrong.
I have made some lifelong friends here, I'm privileged.
It frustrates that it has all come to this. I expected more. I expected people to realise what was happening. Authority has been lost, there is no ruling. Members find that it's okay to talk back, to turn their nose at the authority. This has been going on for a while. It's why I asked to become a mod. I had no support from anyone other a few members. I do not forgive you for this.
I tried. I failed.
Goodbye.
Full Version: One last message from Elle
Don't leave. Yes, blame me for the failure of not always being here. I take all responsibility of what happened.

But it's not your fult, Adam. Nothing is your fult.
It's my fault for not being here when I should have been. I just wish I was notified sooner about these things though... Although I should have also been checking from time to time. That's why I'm tempted to give up my position and leave. I could have prevented this from happening, and I failed to do that.

Adam, I really do consider you my friend, so believe me when I say none of this was your fault. Your are not the only admin here, let alone the only staff memeber here. I knew this day was coming for a long while, and no matter what you did, I was going to leave sooner or later. There was no way you alone could have prevented that. This had to be a group effort, and since no one else around here is willing to try and work as group, it was bound to fail.
You are a good person Adam, do not hold this against yourself. It will be a damn shame if you do.
It was an honor to meet you, sir.
If you guys leave, I will hold it against myself that I let this happen. I just don't think leaving is the answer to all of this. I know there could have been a way to prevented it and I know I still failed you. I am still part of the staff, if some of them get blamed, I too take blame.
... as much as I hate to see it happen...
As for adam it cant be your fault... The truth is vincent is right... the site had been going down hill for awhile... if anything Im more to blame, I was here for the most part, yet I did nothing, I could see it happening but I didnt know what to do. And the thing is I cant explain how. I dont know whats going on half the time, yes Im on a lot but for the most part Im doing 5 other things, ither a game or watching Katie, so I dont always get the full stories of every thing. Im not a good mod, I can solve little problems and thats it. Im not good at stuff like this... if it was in person I would be standing in the back quiet or crying, I dont want to see this site die... I dont care if we never have another new membet, I dont care about any of it... a year ago I nearly lost the most important thing in my life, but I had friends I could talk too about it or anything just to get my mind off of everything... and it took a long time, Im still trying but things are better... I dont want to lose anything else...

Yet it all could have been prevented. I know I could at least have tried to do something... But I didn't.

Don't worry man, Elle and I might not be on GD, but we're still online. I might be quitting GD, but I'm still your friend. I have high hopes that GD will recover, but it's not going to happen if no one else thinks so either.
I don't want to lose ties with everyone. I want to keep in contact with you all.
WTF is going on today? I mean first 1up is bought out by UGO and fires all of their (good) staff and now I come here and everyone's all doom and gloom and ****. You know what's changed since GD was semi popular? Content. We (meaning all of us, not one member or another, all of us) have let these thread games and chat threads kill off the community. It's why I haven't been posting alot and it's why alot of people have left. Go look at http://www.seasonedgamers.com as an example. It's a website that started up just like GD, except it wasn't Nintendo based, it was xbox based. If we get content such as actual games discussion, ot reviews back into the site, we can get GD back onto it's feet.
