After 2 years of constant drama and petty squabbles (public and private), ManMMA has decided to part ways with long-time member xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club.
This was not an easy decision. Despite all of our public drama, xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club has done a lot for this site over the past 2 years. He has provided me with valuable input, and helped out with many important tasks around the site. He has been the most active and dedicated member on this site without equal.
But in the end, activity and assistance aren't everything. Sim sites should be fun. Particularly for the simmer, as they invest the most time and work into the site. And a series of conflicts between myself and Kruze have lead to nothing but public and private issues for a long time now. Issues relating to repeated private requests that certain things be dealt with privately, or left alone. These requests were not only ignored, but met with vulgar rage. So much so that I dread coming onto my own site. I dread coming on to the hostile or offensive things in my inbox. I fear checking recent posts, as they are more often then not complaints or accusations of corruption.
For someone such as myself who invests 1-3 hours a day into this site, this does nothing but cause me stress, and it's not needed. It's not necessary. It's an entertainment site. It's meant to be fun. And it's not fun anymore. So, instead of losing complete interest in the site, and eventually just shutting it down, we're cutting our losses, and trying this route.
With this also comes the resignation of @kadri43 and (I am assuming once he comes on), xx - Team GAP. @kadri43 has already told me once Kruze is removed, he is quitting, and although he has not told me so officially, I expect the same from xx - Team GAP.
I wish these 2 members peace and success in their future endeavours, and wish to sincerely thank them for the entertainment they have provided here in the past.
And lastly, I want to once again thank xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club for all the work he has done and input he has provided for this site. Based on our private conversations, this was a mutual decision, as he was told what was needed from him in order for him to stay on the site. He refused to accept those terms. Fair enough. Peace, friend, and best of luck to you as well in the past, present, and future.
