Hello, fellow members of VGChartz! OnlyForDisplay here with part one of my own final salute towards the former moderators on the site. I hope you all enjoy and indulge yourself. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! Without further stalling, let's get this ball rolling! Now, when I first started VGChartz, I had stated in my intro forum that this was my first ever attempt on a forum site. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, here is the link;

Well, while this is my first take, it isn't my first take on a forum. In fact, this will be my fourth attempt with one. Why I would list this as my first take will be explained in part two, but for now, back on topic! Coming into the site, my emotions were riled with aniexity, animosity, hatred and fear; something I wasn't so found of. My past memories of previous forum sites were still fresh in my head, and my uncertainty was at an all time high. "What exactly happened that made you feel this way?", I hear you asking. To answer this, we first take a look at the first of two forum sites that manifested those emotions; Kongregate.

Very new to foruming and was still a bit sharp with the tounge, I had enlisted myself into the community. While my tounge was sharp, I did understand the rules, followed basic protocol, and furthered myself into the community in a positive way. However, a user, who did not take kindly towards my forms of constructive criticism in discussion, had me marked. Little did I know, there was a user who enacted with similar mannerisms that I did that was banned fron the site. Unbeknownst to me, a moderator had approached me with a question asking about who I truly was. After telling him, I thought that the issue was resolved. Sadly, anonymity kicked in for the moderator, and thus, I was permabanned for an alt account. Tried as I might to prove innocence, much of which was clear as day, the moderator who banned me would heed to reason. I found out later on GameFAQs that this very same moderator was an accomplice by the very same person who did not like me. Furthermore, both were out to eliminate my existence on the site, fearing that I had become too prominent and threatened his position as a moderator.

Devastated, I had begun to underwent a gruesome change; hating and despising any and every site with a forum in it. Fueling the hatred even more were the two people who got away with the crime and not punished for it... at the time. After a while, those two were part of what I coined a "perma-ring." Essentially, mods don't punish the roudy users, and the users attack and harass others to incite a reaction that gets them subsequently permabanned. WiWith the bad guys caught, my hate and more so sadness due to my permaban faded, and thus, began a renewed interest for foruming. Thus, began my second gamble; GameFAQs. However, as stated earlier in this post, fear and resentment continued and grew even worse. "How did it get worse, and I thought it was fading away?" Again, I hear you asking, but to answer that, will require more explanation. That being said, this concludes part 1.

As always, thank you for reading! Part 2 will be available later today. Keep in mind fellow members that typing on a mobile device definitely tires out the thumbs, but I will have part two ready. Again, thank you for reading, and until next time, this is a thread that is;
