Just About Had Enough.

A topic has been floating on the forums asking why you joined or why you stay in the DJB.

Why I joined? Well that's pretty easy. I had never encountered anything even close to what the DB was offering - a community with a rank/award system that played STAR WARS games and wrote STAR WARS fan fiction. I was heavily into the WEG SWRPG and Jedi Knight/MOTS when I started focusing my interests away from the EH and more on the DB. As you all know, at the time they were the same club.

I stayed with the DB through the Exodus, and in changing to the DJB. I stayed because I was having fun, helping the DJB expand and thrive - and in my own way I did for a while. I left the HRLD office because of my lack of time, but also because the negativity was starting to wear on me.

When Muz was elevated to DGM, I was asked to come back as HRLD to offer some stability to the Dark Council. I was reluctant but felt that they were only asking me because they needed me. I was hoping to not just oversee the position but to help expand it some more.

I'm starting to regret the decision to come back. Those who persist with the negativity are in full force. It's like they insist on being assholes for the sake of being assholes. I know there are a few who support me openly, and of course they are getting ridiculed by those people too. There's also the vast, and I'll assume neutral, majority of the membership who say nothing one way or the other. That's almost as bad as being negative.

Custom Robes? They're not even an official part of the club. Muz did them for fun. I do not have CorelDRAW, do not know how to even use CorelDRAW, or the ($600+ to go get/time to go download) CorelDraw, so I won't be offering them anytime soon. Cry all you want - I don't give a fuck. I'm tired of catering to the whims of people who don't care and shit on everything you do.

If everyone thinks they can do such a stellar job themselves - fine... Fuck you all. I have so many other things I could be doing with my time and efforts than babysitting a bunch of whiny little peckerheads. When the chaos ensues, the club will whittle down to the few that bitch the most just hanging out on IRC, verbally pissing at each other and looking down on everyone else, and that will be JUST great.
