…ah, wait, Dargoo made this joke already, didn’t he.
You don’t know how angry that made me, by the way. From the day I joined the wiki, I knew that I’d exit with a Hitchhiker’s Guide joke. Then Dargoo did it before me, clever little bastard.
Yeah, I’m leaving VSBW.
My first bits of input on this wiki were just over five years ago, back when I still had a Ben Shapiro profile picture. Hell, the first non-botted message on my wall was from SeraEX commenting on it. Funny, really.
When I was young, versus debating was cool, and fashionable. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the matches, and the profiles, and the fights. Bambu and I made a server that, to this day, remains one of the largest VSBW discord servers—a fact I largely attribute to him, and am thankful for. But if I’m to be honest, I lost just about all the passion I had for this hobby many years ago. A mix of decisions I disagreed with and a general incline in the number of scummy, irritating tactics that are tacitly allowed left me feeling more and more alienated here. The stress has grown and grown, and it's about time for me to pull out the knife and let the wound heal for good. I'm older, and I've got a long life ahead of me.
I spent my later teenage years with this place, and I can only thank it for being the bedrock that got me where I am now. I've made connections and helped cultivate communities that never would've existed if not for this site bringing us all together. Honestly, that's why I didn't resign earlier. I always thought that I'd enjoy it again, and return...that, and I wanted to collect more roles. Tee-hee.
Will I still be around and on threads? No, but I hardly was anyways.
Will I still moderate FCOC? Nominally, though I’d be resigning there too if not for the sudden burden dropped upon my shoulders.
Will I still be on Discord? Likely, but I’m not going to be tending to any VSBW-related matters, and I'll be actively distancing myself from them as time goes on. Really, this is less of a “goodbye” to any specific people, and more so a farewell to the site that has accompanied me to where I am now. There will likely be a time in the future where I vanish from the primary versus spheres entirely, though I probably won't be making a thread when that happens.
This isn’t going to solve all my problems—god knows I’ve got a lot of ‘em, especially now. But it’s a step in the right direction. Sayonara, so long, and thanks for all the threads.

. But I’m glad I’m still in contact with you on Discord. The advices and help I’ve gotten from you were great. I’m probably not going to bother you about vsbw related stuff anymore but you’ll definitely see me strolling and trolling around randomly anyways.
