Swapshop is no longer the place that I applied for 5 months ago. Everything I loved, supported, defended, and put blood and sweat into is now gone. Just the broken rubble of a community that used to be not as cancerous. Last week I retired because I felt like I wasn't fit for the position as admin anymore. However, there is another reason why I left. I didn't state why because I felt like it could have stirred up more stuff than I wanted. I also left because I felt that swapshop was becoming too childish for me. Too filled with drama. I felt like all the hard work and effort I put into swapshop was for nothing, no respect from the players on our servers, no recognition for all the hard work I put into this community, and no real satisfying ending from actually putting my all into the forums and servers. When I was gone, I was thinking long and hard about this. I thought I might have been a little bit wreck less for leaving and that it was selfish of me just to ditch you like that. I then decided to come back to swapshop, you might criticize me for coming back so soon, you might say that I did this just to start some shit and conflict. No. I did this because it's what I felt was right. I thought I could give swapshop another chance. I thought it could change. Nope. If anything, it's just getting worse. When I returned I saw a lot of conflict in review boards, a lot of drama growing off of that, and a lot of my fellow staff members feeling angry or unhappy about how swapshop was being handled at the moment. In short, I too am going to resign from swapshop. It had a good run, but like every single good thing that was to be, it always has to come to an end. Good day and good luck.
