SOMETHING I FORGOT TO MENTION: im not leaving until the map is done, its so nearly finished and it would kind of be depressing to end it now. i know that this is probably very sudden and i apologize. i just really wanted to leave for quite a while now, ngl, ever since @goldy675 left this community kind of fell apart. i don't think they realize this but they a huge impact on me ever since october last year. its kinda sad what happened to them, they clearly wanted nothing to do with the clout but the scratch algorithm said no u and pushed them to a breaking point. i hope that nevers happens to anyone in this community ever again. that isn't the only reason i desperately want to leave, i literally have a whole list of them: one - s c h o o l, my god the work is just going to pile up if i stay active on this website. two - irrelevancy. this was never really an issue for me because low and behold - i d o n t c a r e a b o u t c l o u t, but my relevance to this community is so low i could literally disappear for a month and no one would care. i also don't really serve anything to the community apart from the screaming furries and bobux frog. three - my cat's death, yeah im still pretty sad about it. i had two cats, one of them died last year the day after my birthday and the other one dying just recently. this is not a reason for why i want to leave, but i have the been inactive over it and may be for another long time v these next few are the most important reasons v im gonna be honest. i don't need scratch anymore (backstory time lol) the whole reason i came to this website in the first place was to improve my animating skills, after i could figure out how adobe animate worked, i figured coming back to scratch would teach me a few tips and tricks, and oh boy, it did more than that. not only did i learn some techniques about frame by frame and tweening animation, I also improved in my art so much, met so many cool and amazing people, AND i managed to get 500 followers, something thats not easy to do. but... over time, people leave, and like i said before, it really breaks the community, people become irrelevant, eventually leaving, and i think its mainly because - people grow up they get to a point where they don't need this website anymore, and i understand that. i feel bad for alot of the people with over 20,000 followers, their obviously over 18 and they're still using this website, i think thats mainly because their fanbase has become so huge very quickly and suddenly that they physically cannot leave anymore. im not say that all big scratchers feel like this, but i could definitely see some feeling like this. i don't wan't to get to a point where this could happen to me. another thing is because of my animation skills that i learnt over my 6 months on scratch. now that i can properly animate, i am learning to use adobe flash again. once i do learn and make animations im proud of, i might come back. ...not here though, i really want to move to youtube before anybody asks - no it is not for clout, ive already established that. its because of the scratch guidelines and how this website is full of sensitive babies that mass report when the see a speck of blood. plus, i really want to be able to say things you normally wouldn't be able to say in scratch. --------------------------------------------------------------- so yeah that pretty much covers it, ill decide whenever i want to leave or not. - DO NOT BEG ME TO STAY, ITS SELFISH if i do end up leaving, don't worry i'll still be around on other sites like codisc. (ill make a server you can interact with me with idk). here is a link to a unlisted vid of mine you can access my channel from. in a few months time i might post actual things: https://youtu.be/gyLQ4UKyGFI anyways, thank you for coming to my ted talk, sorry its so long lol. share you're opinions in that comments song: Lemon Demon - Aurora Borealis
