My ranting yesterday was that… ranting. A day later, the fire has squelched itself out but the feeling is still there.
So now I need to find a way to start with a clean slate.
The first thing I need to make explicitly clear is that every single thing that anyone has ever written here, I am proud to have posted. I appreciate every effort each writer dedicated to the pieces they wrote, and I am blessed for what they have done, to share it with me.
Apparently, Whitters thought I was a bit strong and I offended her. Maybe she thought it was a personal attack – it was most certainly not. I was upset, of course, that it came to the point where I would have to ask or remind someone to write at the site. I shouldn’t have to do that, should I?
So maybe this isn’t getting off on the right foot. I’ve been going through a series of funk sessions the past few weeks and I can’t shake it. It’s not an excuse, in fact it’s a pathetic cop out.


You know, I have written for other sites where the status of the auxiliary writers has changed from month to month with much less justification than this. This is a totally cool decision on your part and I support it 100%.
If you ever want me to write again, jus’ ask and I’ll do a one-off here or there for you. In the meantime, I’ll come by whenever I can and catch up, just like always. :D
Not completely sure of the situation here, but I can completely understand The Funk as well as The People Who Think The Funk Is Aimed At Them.
I was part of a forum that was originally a group effort, with three admins and a really active community. After a while, it became two of us pulling all the weight for a community that just didn’t care anymore. You do fall into The Funk. The only thing you can do is to get some energy back into it somehow, whether with new staff, new writers/community members, or just something fresh and different.
Anyhow, hang in there. This seems like a neat site, and I’m looking forward to seeing more!
