I feel numb,
From what I understand the forum split, and all the "good guys" left, and now hardly visit this forum for the love of their new playground.
And I am now becoming aware that alot of silly stuff is happening here. I don't wanna see either the "elite" or the "nice" people go.
What will happen to the absolutely "crap at art" people like me who have enthusiasm but only ever posted a couple of things, and for the better part are learning from the people here, well those that haven't left.
Im not a good enough artist to make the "cut" for the new team. and I accept that. Makes me feel like crap, but I can accept that.
I genuinely fear that this is the begining of the end of things. I blame no one, least of all Enayla.
For Enayla,
I stand behind you in the decision you have made. You have done more than I think is required of you. And for that I thank you.
I don't have the answer, and I don't have the solutions. I only have what is left of this site untill someone eventually pulls the plug, so I have to put my nomination forwrd.
FAUSTGFX FOR SHERIFF !!!!!
He has put his hand up to wear the badge, and he hasn't left us. He is I belive above going into petty arguments, and whether you like him or not, you gotta agree that he's got the balls to take action without worring about being popular,
Whatever form moderation takes, it will be unpopular at the begining, but will be for the better good in the long run.
MY PERSONAL OPINION no offense intended as always. |

The way things are now this was bound to happen sooner or later. I think we all (sane people) understand you Enayla.
And um, Faustgfx for moderator!
I'm serious. |

i think this statement is very interesting because i find it so very true. it shows clearly what ultimately has to happen to get sijun back into orbit... that's the law of physics

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Enayla for taking your valuable time to moderate this board. I think this is a good idea for you to take a break from doing this job. If i were you, I would go on a rampage by now!
If you dont moderate any more, please stay at Sijun at least! Anyway, i really hope you feel better! Maybe these rabbit could help you to do so

Enayla, I feel so sorry for you. The only way to describe how you've been left is "right in the shit". Dhab is v busy, yeah, but there should have always been at least another mod around as support.
No-one could expect nor wish 1 person to fully moderate and stonewall the insults from a portion of 5000 members. I kinda agree with some of the other views, that your just too nice a person to have a moderator position. If this board had'nt decended into the depths of llama shite it is in now, (I've lurked here since '99), and it was still full of the nice, courteous people it was full of then, you'd be an ideal moderator.
But not with the scores of 13 year old high school fuckups that frequent it now.
Keep your chin up, be strong, and keep posting, your work is some of the best and most polished I've seen on this board.
Oh, and report all the people who sent you abusive emails to their ISP's :P

First glance it looked like there was a neatly coiled stool on its head ;/

Shame on the people who were nasty to Enayla!
I think she's one of the most energetic and highest contributers to this place, and has one of the best attitudes, and screen personalities... as it were. I've alwasy had the upmost respect and admiration for her, and her talent. She is a big inspiration to me.
Personally, I think that only 3 moderators is nowhere near enough to contend with the 5000 users! I cannot see how any of the problems to do with the site could be blamed on Enayla, or even Dhabih. And what is the downfall in question? That the servers been down a couple of times? Big deal! You're dealing with computers here, they are NOT reliable! I know, as I've got to work with them, and if they were, I wouldn't have a job .
I haven't actually seen Sumaleth or Dhabih post in a long time, so technically it's only one moderator (only just reads topic title ), and I don't think "I" could cope with that, especially considering the amount of posts this place gets in a day!
I don't think, however, that Dhabih has lost interest, he probably just doesn't have the time to support this place.
I was never aware of a downfall, this place is one of the best communities I've ever come across! A mass archive of incredible talent, and a source of inspiration for myself and I'll bet many others too.
If it was in my power I'd have all the people who sent rude e-mails, send apologies! It is -NOT- her fault! How could it possibly be?! And what can she possibly do about it by herself? Also, you should never be rude to a lady! It's just not done.
She is obviously upset by it all.
I for one would hate to see you give up Enayla! I think with a few extra moderators and some extra administrative powers to those who are devoted to this site, like yourself, could really turn things around.
And some of the users should take time to think before they post. A little bit of maturity, manners and intelligence isn't really too much to ask for, is it?!
Faustgfx gets my vote! He could be like the mafia of sijun.com
Don't give up Enayla. |

Enayla - I am sorry to see you have to be put in that sort of position. No person on this forum can be excused for thier bad behaviour. I myself can see where you are coming from and would have to admit that I refuse to post here anymore like alot of other members due to the morons out ther [No I am not taking a go at you] I am just saying that its the people who have made this forum a crap place to come rather than you. I hope that things get better and you cheer up soon. :[ I am sorry that there are people out there that are as low to send you emails like that! *hug*
And to you people out there who are causeing shit and writing these emails.. Grow the **** up. Excuse my short and immature context in which that is written.. But its the easiest way of explaining it and like most other people I have better things to do.
Enayla, all my regards and I hope things get worked out.
Cheers |

I hear ya Linda. I kinda semi-left (not that anyone care) a few weeks ago because of the general spirit on the forum. There is really no way to clear it up unless the rules get stricter and the moderators more numerous...
Cutiewheee cat...*pats slice of bread* |

Enayla - good for you. Moderating this bullshat of late wouldn't be a healthy experience. The only real 'problem' with the forum right now seems to be that it's full of arbitrary complaints. And when you have time for all this ponderance and pontification, people... it seems rather obvious that you are not spending your time on art.

I'm really sorry to hear that Enayla, but I completly understand how you feel. This forum is way too big for one person alone. You should be creating those masterpieces of yours that I love to see than having to babysite those of us who choose to act like children.
All in all I though you did a really good job. I really wish we knew what was going on with Dhabih, he needs to give someone here (who's active here) supreme control so we can appoint moderators as necessary. Hey Faust, think your up for something like that :P |

"it seems rather obvious that you are not spending your time on art."
what the fuck, if you are on this board, then it should automatically mean that you draw or paint or model or whatever 24/7? that is one of the reasons and factors i don't like about this place- everyone's being such a big artist artsy artist it hurts.. |

People E-mailing garbage like that to you is just sad.
Well done, and I can't say I blame you for stepping down. I know I'd rather not have that aggrivation. |
