I know this is horribly invasive of me to comment on your personal journal, but if you come back to capstara, I'll draw you hatesex once a week. Please? I didn't really know you well, but I have lurked there for a while and you were quite the lulzy individual. Consider it?
I didn't know about the shit flying around, sorry! Even as someone who primarily lurked, I've noticed the changes around the community, and I miss the guys who were made it funny- i.e., you guys.
I understand though. I used to moderate Distant Horizon, and Avatar forum, and I witnessed several of it's "Industry Booms" We went from 700 to 1300 to 2100 in jumps, and for a while, I was the only main administrator. That changed, but I got tired of it and left.'
Yeah, a lot of people apparently think my "so long" post was a claim that everyone there wasn't "good enough" for me, or, they think I was acting like an "attention-starved drama-llama." That wasn't my intention.
I just do feel that Capslock_Zutara served as a place for a marginal group within the larger ZK fandom to express itself in the most X-rated, most uncouth, most bare-fangs way it pleased. When I felt that the tastes of the community had shifted away from that, I tried to speak up. I was pretty much told to STFU or GTFO (this wasn't exactly recent, either. This started happening long before that trailer).
I tried the STFU approach; over time, more and more "gentility" became the norm. People, I believe, began joining in response to the *non* cracky content (lovely as it is, the adult-oriented fluff is still fluff). Capslock_Zutara has already, in many ways, become Zutara_in_Capital_Letters (as dietotaku phrased it), and I don't see that there is a way to stem or reverse that change. And if that many people enjoy it? Well, maybe

It's sweet of you to ask, but after the shit talking going around in Maru's farewell post and even some personal journals? Hell to the no.
