At one point, I had this little dream, to have a board connected to my site so people could effectively leave feedback, work on learning Hylian, and have small-talk off on the side. Something simple, something sweet.
I was pleased at first when things finally took off, and people were coming around to post more, but one thing I constantly noticed is no one cared about the site-oriented sections of my board. The one main reason this place was ever around.
I know I'm hardly ever around, due to being busy with other things, but due to constant random chatting, people constantly breaking rules (certain people, not everyone no) and the sheer stress factor just thinking about this place had become, I've had no choice but to just shut down.
Yes, that means no more posts, no more stress, and maybe after a while I can finally work on my site update again without honestly feeling physicly sick every time I think about it. This stress factor had yes gotten so bad that I haven't even done squat to the site on or offline in months.
This was suposed to be fun, originally... a little project of mine out of my love for the Zelda games and everything they encompas. Fun isn't suposed to be so stressfull I seriously feel like puking. That, my friends is a problem, which I've now delt with the only way I know how.
A few notes regarding this lock-down. I've totally cleaned out all threads and hidden most from view. No offence to anyone and this isn't meant to be personal, but aside from a very select few members (for my own reasons which I won't explain) I've deleted all members. I've also disabled new member sign-ups.
The one exeption to this lockdown, is I've left the guest forum open to all. Things I won't tollorate though are whining, bitching, complaining, or any other such thing that might cause me to get a headache or stress over this place further. Small-talk. I've got the board under watch by two of my only remaining members, who both have full authority to squash anything they see fit.
I'm very sorry if people have a problem with me doing this, but it had to be done. Maybe sometime in the future when I can think without getting sick, I'll reform the board properly, but I'll warn everyone now, things will never be the same again. Never again will I put up with bad attitudes and people breaking rules as though it's no big deal.
So if you wish to post in the guest forum, be warned, you are being watched.
