Normally, I would have quoted Blizzard's post and just have stopped, adding in a little thing saying how much I agree with Blizzard since, as usual, he managed to completely rip off my thoughts before I type them (preemptive plagiarism?
). But this is freaking
WINKIO here. I'm not gonna settle for just quoting someone.
Even if you left RPG Maker behind,
don't make that mean that you need to leave Chaos Project as a community. Again, many many people here do not use RPG Maker at all, and yet many of them are more active than those who do. I completely agree with Blizzard: You are one of the most respected members on this forum. Don't leave us just because of some people who don't deserve help getting it (Why do you think I respond to so few requests?)
And being an outsider? Granted, you do have a valid point. I have noticed several times that you aren't included as much as others. But then again, that happens to us all when we join a new community for some period of time. It varies from person to person. The only reason I come here as often as I do is because I
don't feel like an outsider here, something that I typically deal with everywhere else in life. But I was feeling that just as you were getting included more, you starting posting a lot less. It's hard to include you when you post less.
Again, please reconsider. You don't have to use RPG Maker at all to be here. Look at Starrodkirby86. He contributes almost nothing, RM-wise (no offense, SRK. xD). He's also a very respected member and a Global Moderator. Diokatsu? Same story, minus the almost part of nothing, (a portion of) the respect thing, and being a Global Moderator. I personally like our community for, among other reasons, this reason: We don't all use RPG Maker. We aren't all interested in game making. We're more like a web of friends who help each other (and periodically poke fun at each other). If you don't believe me on that last point, then just read this topic (Except for reply 7, perhaps... xD). You've got a large number of people here who have posted in less than 12 hours. Blizzard almost sounds traumatized by the idea that you're considering leaving. SRK also thinks that you should reconsider the idea of leaving. Please follow our advice. Even if you drop RPG Maker, don't think that you need to leave us as well.
And if you insist, then I will miss you and good luck. But seriously:
please reconsider.
