I am but a spud, newly grown and not knowing of such matters of the gods.

But even though I joined in January, even though I had never done anything with OCs or Roleplaying before this site, even though I was a crazy teenager with internet addiction, one thing is for certain.

I love this place.

I have seen quite a few of the points made acted out. I have been there, as an observer and occasionally as a dish. But some of these points are extremely close to what I believed. The thing is, however, I was afraid. Afraid I would mess something up. Afraid I'd be battered, tossed around like a wet towel. Afraid I would offend someone, hurt someone, or anger someone.

Why? Because I know nothing (My name isn't Jon Snow, by the way.)

I have no right to complain about something when I myself have never participated. I tried to help out sometimes, but always shied away. I could never bring myself to show my views. At first I was afraid, then I was petrified. What if I'm wrong? What if I greatly anger someone? What if I'm the reason WW3 starts? (Last one is unlikely.)

The answer: I don't know.

I don't know what it's like to be an admin. I don't know what it's like to be harassed by members. I don't know what it's like to have such a high position of power.

And so, I say unto all, words from a potato. Hear them out, or simply walk along.

Don't let this site die.
