  I have to ask myself....am I unhappy with TV Tropes?
  
  √ Minecraft thread still active
  √ TF2 thread still active
  √ People still like Strawberry Panic Fanfic
  √ I still fix the Elfen Lied wiki page.
  √ Nobody actively trolls, attacks or talks shit about me
  √ Troper Tales is gone
  
  
  No, I like TV Tropes.

  It rather matters to me, since most of the people who make that place fun seem to have lost or to be losing interest. :/

  If there wasn't so much drama, I wouldn't have left, personally. Can't speak for anyone else.

  It got to the point where it was stressing me out far more than was healthy (I have quite literally lost sleep over some stuff on there), and I don't want that anymore. I left for my own reasons, not anyone else's (especially not, to, as some people have suggested, emotionally blackmail the posters there).

  I imagine that others, similarly, left for their own reasons.

  ^^Sometimes I feel kind of bad for you, honestly. I feel that leaving the place is in my best interest, but you have to stay behind and watch your friends slowly scatter away...

  Basically, the place is no longer fun. At all. It is Unfun. It sucks fun out of the surrounding area.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  The saddest part about all the people leaving is it's a self-perpetuating cycle. You get the people like me and AU who see that most of the people they liked have moved on to posting elsewhere, and they leave as well.

  A few weeks ago (I think) Naney was talking about quitting TVT, and he said that if he quit then Bunny would quit and if Bunny quit I would quit.
  
  And that's exactly what happened...

  99%. I figure Idler is pleasant to talk to and he thinks it's fine there so I should stay to PM with him.

  It might be, but it's not like people have any duty to stay if the place is no longer fun for them.

  I should probably do the same.
  
  The other people I was worried about were Bunny and Naney. I have Bunny on Gmail now, and Naney is here, so...

  Well, if you did want to dump a giant ragequit post in there (which I advise against), most of the people there now probably don't remember Midnight Velvet.

  While I don't condone huge ragequit posts (mostly for the sake of people like Fourier who have to deal with the fallout), I can totally understand why someone might want to do it. It would probably feel cathartic to unleash all that frustration at once.

  To my knowledge VM, we never spoke on TVT. We never typed at each other either.
  
  I can only assume that since Naney didn't recognize my two-line posting style and propensity for using rippling musclemen as avatars he hates me.

  I am lying.
  
  I am not content with how TVT is now.
  
  I can go all "oh, DIBAF" on it and pretend I don't care but...
  
  
  ...it frustrates the fuck out of me how tangled, disorientated and atrophic the place is getting. Everyone I had fun with is either leaving, going insane or turning into an asshole. Many of my favorite posters quit and went to SA and IJBM2, to the point where I can never follow them.
  
  I feel guilty for being banned from IJBM2 now. Shitposting can only be so fun until you find that everyone you enjoyed is not there. It's feeling more empty and empty as time passes.
  
  It's 1:10 am.

  Yeah, he still walks around being all Seamus and shit and I'm like "Dude, he's being Seamus" and people are like "Seawho" and I'm like "Seamus, man" and then they're like "heheh, Seaman" and then I'm like "Why the fuck am I typing in the heap at 3 AM, I should sleep before I embarass myself" and they're like "Too little too late :3"

  I'm like, super butthurt that I can't have a normal conversation with you juan without having to play the tsundere card.
  
  and that I get emotional talking to you at all.
  
  I can't admit that I get my feelings hurt by you when you mock me, because that's stupid and I need to get over it. But I can say that you going "oh silly simple vorpy" about things I am trying to be serious about is very tsuntsun.
