It pains me to say this, but, I have to say I am leaving. It hurts so much to say so, but DoF had its run. It is also not as fun as it was. I have been missing what DoF was, not what it is. Everything started going downhill after the whole Bearr incident, and nothing has gotten really better. Activity dropped because we were becoming more and more, choking on ourselves than anything else so to speak. Our standards became higher, and we had more and more asked of us. We have had more advertisements come in than members posting. It's just not as fun and it hurts so much to say this.

The thing is, I love Bleach, I just... can't stand to see the site die as it is. It is the truth. Sites do die, just some die faster than others, DoF lasted this long, and I don't want to leave forever, I just can't see it picking up any time in the near future. I love all of you guys, and I want to keep in touch. I love talking to you all, and it's quite fun. I've had quite the time here, made a lot of friends, and most importantly, I grew as a writer. I love you all, it's just so hard for me to sit here, talk to you, intend to post, and never post for you. I have never had such an intense writer's block, and still try so hard. I have muse for Bleach, I have muse to rp, I just... don't have muse for DoF.

I want to keep in touch with all of you. I have various means of communication. I have AIM, MSN, and Skype. I will talk to you all, I mean, we're not strangers to each other anymore are we? It's just... shocking to be leaving. Four days ago I swore that DoF would not die, and Sonic can vouch for me. I did not intend on leaving, or watching DoF die. I love you all, and I hate seeing it die, but it will die, and I'm sorry if I'm joining the flow of people and leaving all at the same time. It's just like, act now or forever hold your sorrow. We have just lost our community feel, and our communication has fallen below something that is appropriate. Our tempers have gotten to the best of us, and it's allowed me to see what is wrong. It's in the way our community has acted, and how our staff have become. It was good in the good ole days, and now, it's not like it was.

Zu and I had a conversation for about an hour, if not longer. We can't stand what the site has become, and we each have other, individual reasons for leaving, and mine is just that I can't stand to watch DoF die. I do want to keep in touch, with all of you, if it is possible. You can contact me by AIM (tiffany1232158), MSN (lvlessfghtr@hotmail.com), Skype (yors14). I love you all, please, contact me! I love you all, and I do not want to lose contact! I am absolutely clear, please! You're all wonderful, lovable (except for maybe Jiji jk), and please, it's not goodbye. Just, a fresh start, for all of us.

Your friend,
Yori.
