Hey
@Null
I’ve been part of this site for kinda a while, I remember What If, Deagle Nation, and when we weren’t the Kiwi Farms. We had some great times.
Honestly, if you want to nuke the site, do it. Give us a 60 day warning, or do it tomorrow, as long as it’s what you want to do.
You’ve been the one person running this site and to be honest, I wouldn’t trust any user here who says “I’ll take over.” I want this site to start and end with you.
Most of us will be ok without the farms, and the ones who won’t be weren’t ok to begin with. You’re not our therapist, we’re not your problem.
Something I’ve learned over the years is mental health is the most important thing in your life. About 4 years ago I left my job as a lab tech (I think I mentioned I worked in a lab when I was more active.) The pay was good, the benefits were great, but I was depressed, like real depression. I stress ate and gained 50 pounds, I slept 12-14 hour days, there were mournings where I would cry, not because of anything specific, I would just cry. When I finally realized that that job was making me that way, I left. I fucking delivered food at half the pay just to have another job, just to get out.
Life is better today, I got married about 2 years ago and I’m at a job I actually enjoy. I have never regretted bailing on that job. If you’re seriously this miserable from running this site, I’d recommend bailing as well.
Seriously ask yourself what you want to be doing in ten years, do you want to be here with a new member base as you see the old members leave, do you really think this site will ever become some shining beacon of free speech survival, is it worth what you’ve been going through?
Burn it all down, or don’t. I’ll support your decision either way. But I don’t want to hear about your suicide on TMZ or some shit.
