Goodbye UPN

I think I am done with UPN. I think I have been done or "being done" for a while, but i am terminally done with it tonight. I'll be brief:

- my best friends from UPN do not post there much or even at all
- my casual friends from UPN do not post there much
- people I hate continue to pop up every once in a while
- the new generation of members is enamored with two members I dislike
- the board is purposeless
- the board is unappreciative; outside my few remaining UPN friends, the board does not give back but continues to take time, emotions, and resources

I will probably grab my Fizzy Bubbles team, update the member post one last time (in case I return sooner than expected), and then I'm pretty much out the door.

I need a fresh start. I've made a lot of mistakes over the years, maybe one or two huge mistakes per year, and they've added up over time. I do not hold integrity in anyone's eyes. People only see the me online -- unlike my other friends, they do not see the real me, they do not see how I am who I claim I am rather than how they perceive me to be from posts -- and I guess the me online is pretty hated by people.

I've learned a lot of lessons from these mistakes, but I think a fresh start is required. An entirely fresh start.

I'm going to consider my major interests/hobbies right now and try to find a webforum, big or small, that shares my interests and shares my views on how a webforum is best operated.

Until then ... I'll probably be updating this blog more.
