Olympus wrote: hm. The vibe has changed since the lag situation and i've noticed decode isn't on much at all either. I felt fine with the state of the site when he was updating the developer thread and there seemed to be positive motion...now it is kind of eh but, I think it will just take a second to balance back out...or i hope so

same but with time vs money since i'm f2p. I've spent too long haggling, scrounging, thrifting, drawing, and contesting and i finally woke up one day and realized I have stuff and money on here so i can't leave now.
...and the people as others have said. I know i don't really talk but... i've stayed in part because out of the (too) many dress up/forum/pet/collection sites/apps i've had, this is the one i would most really consider talking and getting involved in the community.
But, i also do understand where you are coming from. this site is kind of........ and don't misunderstand me, i love dark fantasy so the undead are w but........ i'm not really sure why we are here sometimes at this point either.
It does kind of feel like y'know when something's head gets cut off and then it's body just keeps functioning for a few minutes because momentum/instinct even though it isn't really alive anymore but it doesn't really know that... It kinda feels like that on here now compared to when i joined. I love the chill and so many people do so much for this site, but... i worry maybe we are zombie chickens...

i've kinda gotten used to vp being "this" - which i recognize it shouldn't be like that. but i've also always been here for the dressup aspect and nothing else, and there hasn't been significant changes on that part of the site thankfully(?). keeping the forums clean from bots has now also become a way to kill time but it's not very exciting. helping with the auction has sorta given me a sense of "purpose" because i feel like i'm finally getting to help users even though it's not much. smt also but it's difficult to promote this site with a good conscience
etjen's response time kinda revealed how invested he is in the site i understand having money making side hustles but i think he ignores the site a "tad bit" too much. no one knows what he's doing or what he's planning. for all we know he's logging in just to check if the monthly goal has been met and then leaves for the rest of the month. feels that way anyway. hiring decode was a glimmer of hope but idk what's going on with that. it's very possible they're having disagreements with etjen - but we will never hear about that
