Putting this here to make it feel more official... so at the end of this month I plan on leaving Gaia, and I honestly have no idea if I'll come back.
I've been on this site since 2007, moved around to different accounts, and went in and out of active modes. These day I usually only pop on to change my outfit or lurk in the GCD.
I never thought the day would come that I would actually say the words "I feel like quitting" or "I'm just so sick of this place." But over the past few months these phrases pop into my mind on a regular bases, it actually makes me kind of queasy. I love Gaia, this site made me a better artist, it helped me make some wonderful friends, and this place used to be something I was proud to be a part of. But now, when I login, instead of feeling happy, I feel disgusted. I find myself wondering what new thing will Gaia ******** up today, what new shitstorm will GCD have, how depressing will the SF be... I still sort of hoped that maybe, just maybe, Gaia would wise up and fix its ******** ups, but after that little survey incident and how they went about "fixing" it, I find myself losing hope and have pretty much lost what little respect I still retained for this site.
So for the past week I've been floating around, trying out new avatar communities... wondering if I should just go spend even more time my tumblr and stop trying to find a new avi site to call home. I'm on Solia Online, Eryna, I'm pretty sure I have a Menewsha, and as of the past few days I'm also now on subeta and Syndrone Online. My main problem with trying to integrate into these new places, is the lack of burning desire to learn as much as I can about these sites. I'm also in full lurk mode, so I'm having a hard time getting the desire to get involved with sites that require me to post to get gold, which is sad, because Syndrone seems to be the place to be right now... so at the present I'm the most active on Eryna and subeta, and I can be found under the name Nor... I'm very much a lone ranger on those sites.
So I guess this is it, I wonder if anyone will even notice I'm leaving or gone... I always assumed I'd just get bored one day and just stop coming on here, I never, not even in my widest dreams would I have thought that I'd go out like this. As for why I'm planning on staying until the end of the month, well, Halloween of course, my favorite time on Gaia, I might as well have at least one last good memory of my time on here.
Also I've come to notice when people leave they tend to get a lot of requests for their items, so I thought I'd put it out there now, that I plan on keeping my s**t, yeah, I know I'm a b***h for leaving it all here to rot.. but I worked hard for my pixels, and who knows maybe someday when Gaia stops being a d**k, I'll come back or something... not likely, but it could happen.
Edit: Also thanks Gaia, for pretty much destroying all of my desire of actually participating in the 2013 Halloween event... I'm still here until the end of the month, but bloody hell, you guys are pretty much making me hate myself for setting that as my leaving date, I should have just left when I originally wrote this.
