Well MG, It's been a real good long run. I feel kind of bittersweet about my decision, but i've been thinking about it a lot lately, and I realized that no matter what I'm going to still be a noob, and a really frigging annoying one too. When I joined MG about 2 or so years ago, all I cared about was of course SSF2. I gave not a care for rules, or anything, for that matter. I wanted to be a Dev, that's it, I did, from day 1, I just wanted to be a Dev and help the production of SSF2.
I was able to start making trophies constantly, using my knowledge of photoshop to my success. Shy Guy, would probably be my first real tutor on what the hell MG was. I still did think I could be of help, but at this point I realized I couldn't sprite, code, or do s***.
At one point I attempted to showcase my art on this website, I do have to admit I have a disability called mechanical disgraphia, and hence my fine motor skills do take a hit. I believe it was bluemage77, who told me in as true fasion as possible that "My artwork sucked". It did I admit, and unfortunately that comment right there would force me to eliminate any hope of ever succeeding in the art world.
The main reason I'm leaving is that I'm simply not interested in anything about this site, but the other is my reputation has been tarnished to the point of no return.
I feel that it is only right that I leave this place behind, along with the memories of how badly I sucked. As much as I do believe this place has real big assholes, I believe that I deserved everything you said. To any person just now joining, be smart or this place will bite your a** harder than any other forum on earth.
Sincerly,
Gemini Eos

P.S. To those in the know, you are unbanned from my imagination.

Providing criticism is hardly being an a**; you can't overcome flaws if you don't notice them. At any rate, you aren't missing out on much, so don't beat yourself up over it~

Yeah, I know... But when you're like 11 years old, the last thing you wanna hear is that your art sucks, I wouldn't take it as hard now, by any stretch of the imagination, but I do feel as If Blue has had a Vendetta for me. I know MG has been kind of quiet lately, but I am incredibly sad to leave, but MG is already polluted with enough n00bs, I don't want to add to the s***.

Before I say anything, I want you to know that unless you were the type to get banned, I'm sorry you're leaving.

But part of growing up (from 11, yes) is being able to deal with things. Sure right now maybe your artwork is ****, but 11 is NOT too old. I used to suck so bad at fencing my master was going to expel me. But in 3 months, I won a local competition. Only 3 months. It's been about 2 years since you joined MG. Maybe you're not going the right way for help. So accept that you're not good with art, and instead of all this, get better. Ask for help. Work in your free time.

Well, all I can say about your art is practice-practice-practice.
It's the only advice I can give you.

With patience, comes exellence...
If you're willing to give your time, and slow down.
Art isn't a race.

Well then, see ya.

Again, That isn't the only reason why i'm leaving. It wasn't just that 2 year old comment made 2 years ago, it's that I feel like I have nothing to contribute to the website except n00bishness. I understand what you all are saying, but sometimes the silliest things take you down. This was something, that I will probably take to my grave (not commiting suicide or anytihng :) ). My leaving of MG was a hard thing to do for me, providing it was the first online community I was active in. I wanted to be a big help to SSF2, and I can't do that. I can't draw, I can't sprite, I can write decently but, I feel my staying here serves no purpose except space.

I may return eventually, and will probably be online for the next two or so days, and then I'll Log Out, and not Log back In until I feel that my spiritual, and mental journey is complete.

Velo, most people JOIN for SSF.

so uh, it's more like Well over 70% are in to SSF2.



Also, lol at calling Blue an a**.
You should be glad I wasn't the one who C+C'd you, otherwise I'd have ripped you a new a******.

Let's put it like this, would we be here without SSF... I did get over SSF2, what I can't get over is how bad I suck at everything here... The fact is that everyone here with experience emits negative energy, your goal is to just shove s*** down peoples throat hoping that you can keep MG pure of people with mad skills. It's not a case of "I liked how you..., but I think you need to improve on...", It's either Great Job, or f*** you. I feel like my leaving, will help people understand that constructive criticism needs to be balanced, not "your art looks like a five year old drew it".

@Whimzer: I LOL'd at that.
