Chicken Sh!t

[Anime Aficionada]

I just want this all out before I try to convince myself out of it and go back.

But I’m leaving.

I know I made my promises. I know said I would try to help. I know I said I’ll come back here in the future. But seriously, have I truthfully ever done that before?

I can’t let my attachments to ADV Inc get in the way of my personal life anymore. I’m over it, just like the many of you at these boards. I do care about ADV inc, but not enough to bring it back to life again. I can only apologise, but I do not look for forgiveness. I know I’ve done my wrongs.

As you all might know, my personal life can be a little... unstable at times. Whether it’s because of school, my mother, my grandmother, or real life in general, something always comes up. And I want to try to help over here – I’ve been trying to convince myself of that every day - but I know I can’t. And now I’m coming to a point where I just don’t want to anymore. My family’s more important to me (as with most of you I’d expect) than whatever I do on the internet.

I just liked it simpler when I was a lowly forum member. I stuck around so could prove myself as a good admin, and I didn’t even do that. I’m sorry; I just wanted things to work. But life’s like that sometimes.

I apologise to you JB, for not helping out even though I know I should, but can’t... or won’t. I’m sorry to all of the members that I’ve let down, and I’m sorry I’ve been just a little chicken sh!t all this time.

But I simply can’t take this anymore.

I’m sorry. I apologise.

But don’t bother trying to forgive me or anything – I won’t/or don’t want to expect that.

So finally, take care. And email me if you want, I won’t really care.

Farewell, and I truly just wanted things to shine through,

Anime Aficionada.

....I had a feeling that this day would come. I always had a feeling, deep down, that your personal life would make things very difficult for you, and honestly, I don't see a reason why we need to apologize. After all, it was me who pulled behind you allthe way, and maybe, I did it a bit too fast. So, I think it's me who has to say I'm sorry, a_f. I hope we can really get into contact soon.

And on another note; ADV Inc. 2.0 is done, as Sp1derp1g's, "investor," ran off with all the money. So, in effect, we're stuck in a rut. I will say, part of it is because I lost my interest in this series (and if it was up to that, the site would have just shut down). However, I had an obligation to the members to keep this ship afloat, even if I lost interest. Well, as some of our regulars are really jumping off now, I've apparently failed.

Yet, all is not lost for our dwindling fandom. When Sp1derp1g told me about the investor, he mentioned the idea of a merger. I accepted, and as soon as we can, I will be in talks with the admins of ASHQ and ASU to create a single site. That was indeed the goal of the original plan of ADV Inc. 2.0, which will stil be accomplished. I will be talking with the remaining mod structure and also discuss how we are going to archive the items we should transfer over. And with that, I feel that it will be a good time to finally retire the site out of it's misery.

Sincerely,

JB

JB...if you retire from this site. Then everything will go down hill. Please guys don't leave your the only things keeping this site alive

Dangit, I should stop leaving for such long intervals. JB, I think that a merger is an awesome idea. This is the only Pokemon-related forum that I still post to at all (I do still write FF's tho) so I hope you don't abandon it. If you need any help with anything, I'm ready and willing to help as much as I can.
