Note: This does talk about and reference past dramas. I usually wouldn’t make something like this, but I guess I can, seeing what has happened lately. I would've made this on the day I joined, however I was in Hawaii at the time, so I couldn't. First Year The birth of my first Scratch account. This signified my next new favorite website. I started out very secluded and lonely until I met SP8535alt, aka @TreeFan101. Another thing to note is my favorite scratcher, @amtrakman4014. This year was very uneventful, until.. Second year. It all came crashing down. It began with that. I dont want to bring it up because of flashbacks for other users. Okay yeah it was a warning though. Then came SP taking his leave, then that happened twice. Even @amtrakman4014 sadly left. Then the main partycrasher. The storm blew through, and I was banned. Severed from communications in May. In September, however, I was unbanned, but the damage was done, and my account was lost. Third year Everything started uneventful until he showed up... (Year 3 Chapter 1) This was my PEAK on Scratch. I was making decent vectors, (not as good as others) and had reached 200 followers. I had even met new friends like @AnAviationEnthusiast and @BNSF6026. But then, a report of a new thief rocked the community. Eventually, he began stealing my work. Before, it was just warnings, then it became certain he wouldn't stop. This is basically when I snapped. I was so mad at him because he kept stealing work from me, BNSF, and Username/AAE. Then it got worse. When I introduced Bryan, he kept using him like his own OC. He had even gotten banned multiple times but kept making new accounts. He had harassed me so much I "quit." Not to mention the fact he plagiarized anyone and everyone, but he also kept harassing me after I "quit." Eventually, I was so fed up I hopped back onto Scratch, and snapped even further. It looks like he has gotten banned, however, and this concludes this chapter. During this Great Depression, the RoS, which was the community I started Scratch with, started crumbling... (Chapter 2) The leaders of the RoS had decided the community should shut down, and would shut down on June 1st, 2023. That date came, and the community I had been on in Scratch for a majority of my time there had shut down. This had led to the ends of countless users' times on the platform, most notably the main leader, @GP38-252. Eventually, more and more users would leave, and although I rarely interacted with them, I still was saddened by their departure. Now I feel like I'm holding on to loose threads, just trying to keep them together, but everything keeps falling apart. Almost everyone I knew is now gone, and the platform has gotten more and more boring, but I can't seem to let go yet. I will see you around, I guess. Until 4 years, EtDi2021
