Just wanted to swing by for a sec.
Just to rectify, the main reason for my departure isn't mainly because of time constraints or how people think about me (because the first can be worked around, and the second I don't care all that much on, ya'll haters can suck on mah ballz), its mainly because the community is sucking right now. I know GW has its ups and downs, and its activity waxes and wanes, but I've been visiting GW for years, and this is the lowest I've seen it, ever. Even though there's activity here, its bland, lifeless and souless, and the forums might as well be the casting call for Equilibrium. Which sucks because GW has some of the most talented people I've ever seen. So what the hell are you all doing?
I want to see film exhibitions, art contests, some RPing, hell, even some interesting discussion in the General forum besides retarded news articles (YOUNG BOY GETS EATEN BY DOG) The individual members are great, but the way the current community is sliding right now sucks. Hopefully GW6 will remedy this somewhat even though its taking forever, and right now it seems like a myth, just like the Easter Bunny and Asians with phat asses. Normally, I'd stay and try to contribute to the community instead of being all talk like I was before, but with the combination of my issues I mentioned before, all of it combined is just enough for me to take a break from GW. I know its been said before, but GW is slowly, but surely dying. The question is, what is everyone going to do about it? It may seem hypocritical for me to be saying all this considering I'm leaving, but that doesn't make it any less true. Hey, its likely I'll come back around once my workload in life and college subsides, but GW has to get itself together for anything to be happening for anyone anywhere.
I'll be honest, I don't know exactly what it will take to get the community back up strong (barring GW6), but if any of you guys know, make a collective effort to do something about it. GW is one of the best place there is on the Internet. Don't let it fizzle out like this.
