i don't even know what to say. so im gonna rant out with this one. deepest apologies if any of my points come off as rude or disrespectful, they aren't meant to. serious honey mode ahead. never in my 2-3 years of being a gwdfier have i ever seen such a thing happen. i do remember a raid or two back then, but situations were a lot more tame. i know i had my whole hiatus ordeal, but i have a bit of an idea what's happened since i was gone. and nothing like this did. -84. -84. that was the countdown before the studio's comments closed. the lowest i know of was a little less than -10. the managers had every right to close the studio for a week. as of writing this, it is september ninth as of writing this–the comments come back on the twelfth. (for a bit i thought it was the eleventh sob-) im not going to blame the managers for any of it. all they have been doing is caring for us, they've been working hard to try and keep us in check. so when the comments close, don't blame them. they're doing what they're supposed to, what is right. i still can't wrap my head around the -84. i get how it's difficult to ignore the trolls sometimes, or we get a bit carried away, but we need to remember the rules. making this statement makes me feel a bit hypocritical–i know i did try to jump in, and im sorry. my need to help everyone got in the way of my thought and reason. i will not do it again. i hope none of us do it again. im speaking to my fellow gwdfiers here. when the managers say to report and ignore, the rules say to report and ignore....just report and ignore. trolls are looking for attention, simply don't give it to them. now i want to thank the managers for everything. you've all been going through a bit of a rough time with how the studio has been lately. if any managers are reading this, just know that i couldn't appreciate you more now. thank you. i could say it a billion times and it wouldn't express a fraction of my gratitude. i mean it. i only want the best for the studio, and when it comes to the managers, we have the best. i don't care if you make mistakes or have a few flaws. you mean the world to me. this timeout was the right thing to do. thank you for coming to my ted talk. honey out.
song: this is home by cavetown art and writing by me. im having mixed feelings about this situation. i felt the need to let out some of my thoughts for the world to see. please take some of this with a figurative grain of salt.
