That feel when you're super invested in running the site, creating events and engaging your members and then... there's so little time left to focus on you. It's like "oh shit, I forgot I'm also a member of my own site" and then everything that used to be fun and exciting churns into one big chore, killing whatever muse you have left over.

I want my members to have fun, but it's hard staffing at the same time when sometimes the system sucks your life away.

or maybe i just need friends oops


It really do be like that sometimes.

I always put staff duties ahead of my own threads, which if I was still heading my own site, would mean I’d have 0 time left for me. IMO it’s a lesson that more staff usually means more freedom.

Think it's time to shut down my site.

I just feel so much guilt about it - leading people on to believe that we'd be around for longer. Of course, that's what everyone has said and I'd like to finish it and be around to help, but I just don't have the time or passion anymore.

Obviously it's a sob story that's been seen a million times in this community, but seeing the last dregs of people complaining in the discord makes me want to bite the bullet and shut down the server and site without a "public statement". They've both been dead a long time.

I know that'd be what's courteous, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
