Hello,

I'm excited for Tree of Souls in that it tries to recapture the spirit of Avatar-forums' early days when a tight-knit, friendly community formed around a movie we all cherish. I have lamented for a while the direction Avatar-forums took after the administration changeover. The friendly-feel of the forum vanished. The hostility didn't extend to new users or trolls, but also came down from the top. One particular moderator took it upon himself to also act as the morality police. Because of that disgusting behaviour, I no longer contribute on Avatar-forums.

All the moderators of avatar-forums have been so friendly and accommodating. It was a great place for a time, but it only takes one bad moderator to spoil the forum experience. People leave forums all the time for all sorts of reasons but never did I think I would leave because of one bad moderator, but it is what it is. I felt leaving was better than reporting it to the admin, since the new administration seemed more interested in turning the forum over into a commercial, for-profit venture than redressing my grievance. So I left. I believe a great forum is one run by the fans for the fans, so I am so happy to be part of this community! :D

ps. I also love keeping the old theme for ToS. It's perfect! Avatar-forums' new design is so garish and cluttered it's like RDA plowed it over leaving a mess.

One life ends. Another begins.

Very well said spicy apple. I almost stared to cry, a few minutes ago when I saw this forum. It's like coming home, like the first days of the new year, when this community saved my life.
Chapeau, Eltu !!!

Thank you guys, all of you for being there yesterday and have a good and constructive talk there.
I really liked that a lot.

We truly had a good and constructive talk indeed :D

Thank you too eon :)

Eon was one of the voices of reason in that discussion. I would like to thank her for that as well :)

Thanks, Eon.

Oh, and thanks for passing that cig back then.

Definitely. You helped a lot there, between both sides and also helping keep the random annoying people quiet when we were talking :)

Guys, stop making me blush, please! ;)

I just wanted to have a clean, peaceful and constructive talk between you. That's all i did.

Welcome to ToS. This is how it works here. Everyone loves everyone without any limits.

You can't quit. I will use Force Mind Trick on you :P

I need my blood for other things than blushing all the time, guys! Please, have merci :D

No peace without Eon.

So thanks.

Just don't start a "Thank you, eon, we worship you for ever and ever"-Thread, okay?

Don't give me ideas.

EON. you have an adorable hedgepig. i wants it.

Also, thank you for the moderation of the discussion, im happy where we wound up, and i hope the residual flames die soon.

Welcome home everyone :D

Thanks, Leonopteryx, i love my little hedgehog too :D And i don't give her away :D

One of the most difficult positions to be in, for someone who has authority issues, is to be in authority. The inner control freak blossoms and wants to micro-manage everything. People who lack inner peace should never be in authority, not as a punishment to them, but to give them an opportunity to find the peace they so badly need. While in authority, they will never be able to find it. I know this from first hand experience ;D

Quaritch is an excellent example of the type I am talking about.

EDIT: hedgehogs are cool.
