Thought this was going to be a thread about Mel Gibson tbh

Still, I never took issue with anything you did... you seem like a good person in general. These forums (and really all online forums) should never become a negative in a person's life, and the moment they do one ought to cut ties with it. You're doing the right thing, though hopefully you'll reach a place where you can return and enjoy your time here.

I'm sorry you're not at your best, Star. It really sucks when things don't go well in our real lifes.

As I don't use to visit political threads, I haven't seen much of your dark side, so in my eyes you'll always be a good user and a good member of this site.

I hope the best for you, that things takea turn for the best and that, once you're ready, you can come back.

You're young; you'll get over it.

I've always respected your posts and attitudes on these forums. I can't say I've seen a lot of the negativity that you've referred to, so maybe I was just lucky there. Either way, I hope that you can feel better out of this all :)

For some reason I thought this was going to be about Miley Cyrus

I came in here all ready to be deeply offended

Self-awareness is the first step to recovery my friend. Best of luck getting your life back on track. Hope to see you back here when you feel more together

I know we haven't talked since you left the team, but I thought I'd throw my two cents in. 

Honestly...I'm glad that you're able to admit what the problem has been, and I do sympathize. It's easy for personal problems to leak into other areas of your life, and it's not always easy to explain this after the fact. I'll withhold my personal opinion on some of your recent actions, but I'm certainly glad that you're able to admit that a problem exists.

Still...I'm glad for the time we spent on the team together. You were one of the two mods that made me feel at home right away (I'm still jealous of your Chitoge figure!!!), and I definitely miss chatting with you. I wish you all the best, and I hope your time away helps you prioritize, and come back a stronger Star. Good luck, senpai!

I hope that your break helps you and that your daily life becomes less stressful so when you come back, you'll be your old self again. I'll be around.

Hey Star. While I was one of the later people to get to know you, I feel like we did get to become at least more than casual acquaintances. I mainly remembered you from your Star at the Bar threads, and I enjoyed those threads a lot actually, as it allowed me to get a greater sense of community here. You see, that was during a time when I was becoming more active on this site, but before I had created a Discord account, so I had almost no interactions in a group-like chat like that where we could just talk about casual subjects. In fact I remember that I enjoyed them so much that you ended up becoming my favourite mod while you were on the time. I don't think that was a very common choice, but I really appreciated those threads.

Of course, as we all know by now, you left the mod team. And unfortunately, it was not an amicable split. Now, being the curious fellow that I am, I couldn't resist asking you what had happened. And I feel that's when we grew a bit closer to each other. We still talked and PMed each other, despite the PM system being dog shit on this site, and I felt like that's when we got to know each other a bit better.

However, I could definitely tell that something was bothering you, and I had also assumed it was related to your personal life. Unfortunately, it seemed like you were either too embarrassed/nervous to admit it, or were in denial about the situation. I am glad that you were able to do some self-evaluation and see the root of the problem, because I did feel like it was a hopeless situation, and after many other people also telling me that it was not possible to get you to change, I was finally starting to believe the same, and was about ready to give up. That's why I'm so glad that you've managed to do so.

Now, I'd say it is time for you to take a much needed break. Hopefully you'll come back a much happier person. I also hope that you will consider trying to make amends with the people here that you may have had difficulties with over the past few months, including the mod team. I know that it's not a unilateral effort, it does require willingness from both sides, but I feel if you can do that, you'll have a much more pleasant time here.

You're one of my favorite users on the site (who still browse it!).

Maybe not being a mod any more won't be so bad. It sounds like your real life is stressful, and focusing on that is more preferable than moderating a video game forum that talks about politics too much (unless you get paid I guess).

Good luck with your endeavors and I hope you get back soon!
