User blog:Azrael the Sorrowful/I know I said I wouldn't

But I can't just leave without saying goodbye. Call it on bad terms if you like, but I simply cannot stand by and watch the other members of the staff do things that I know are bad for the wiki and the community in the long run, regardless of what the community or the other staff wanted. Maybe I sound like a dictator, maybe I am one but I never wanted to be. From day one, the staff was designed to even the work load across the board so that no one was required to do too much but could do more if they wanted to. The departments labeled out a scope of work that each person was responsible for but was never intended to limit them to just that scope. Somewhere down the road, that was misunderstood and people kept to their corners of power and some didn't even do that. Over time, this dynamic ended up being a power void where I and a few others picked up the slack everyone else refused to take. And this all kept on working fine because the others and I were able to handle the work.

Honestly, I don't even care at this point. Whatever people want, believe, whatever. Doesn't really matter anymore; if people love me or hate me for my decisions so be it. I loved each and every member of this wiki. No matter how much we disagreed, fought, or just simply didn't get along. Every person was highly important to me and I cherished you being here, was excited to see you join and sad when some people left. I just want everyone to know, that all and all I was always doing what I knew was best for the wiki. Whether you agreed with me or not, I have been running RP websites for quite a few years now and every decision I ever made was based of the experiences I've had in the past. My goal has always been to avoid the pitfalls of past sites to make this place thrive. Unfortunately, even if everyone was in one accord with what should be done, this place is dying and I doubt it can come back. It's unfortunate but it is what it is. I hope you guys can get things going, but I'm being frank, I think this place is dead.

Either way, this is all just a big spiel to say good bye. I will miss all of you, and just like CHB, I will likely stop by to see how things are going, but I cannot handle the stress of this place and RL anymore. I have too much going on around IRL keep on trying to do what needs to be done around here. I just truly hope that someone is willing to step up and understands the need for what I did around here. Bye guys, I will miss you all.
