    I think the moderation on this site is - to put it bluntly - shit. And that's not the users fault for not reporting it -- we don't get paid and it's not our place to do what the owner and workers should be doing. There are times when I think that people's thoughts shouldn't be censored (that all posts should be allowed), but the bullshit here is just so awful -- it should never see the home page.

    The thing is, it wouldn't be a problem if there was enough good to balance the shit out, but because there's not, this place isn't worth visiting often. Let alone paying for (even if it's for the purpose of maintaining it). It's not just the posts, though -- not enough of the user base contributes a whole lot of good, either. And some posts are bombarded with a certain few users (not mentioning names) who make jokes about each other and flirt? It's too immature, to put it nicely.

    So with that said, I'll probably stop coming here soon -- even when I'm bored. Although I do enjoy some users, but as I implied before, they alone are enough to balance IIN out.

    Yes, actually. From the time that the moderation process changed...

      Yeah - I don't think it has improved the site, just made it easier to run. The ratio of crap posts to good now aint great.

    Saw the post about the girl and the apple - it got me questioning why I'm around.

        It's moreish.

        It's like... When you get a tube of Pringles. And you eat every last one, even though you're feeling kinda queazy after the first 30. Your taste buds are dead by the time you're half way through the can and the corners of your mouth are starting to burn from all the vinegar, but you keep piling them in, 5 at a time.

        Afterwards, you sit there - covered in crumbs and salt, your stomach in a state of discontent, wondering why you'd do such a thing, hoping next time for the willpower to put the tube down, hoping for a little #thinspiration.

        And yet, the very next week, you buy another tube of god-damn Pringles and start over.

    Yes. There has been times where I left but I always came back. I honestly wish I would just leave, stick to my guns, and never return. I just don't feel like this place is all that it's cracked up to be.

    I'm not insulting the community when I say this, but this place isn't as friendly as it used to be. I remember when I came here two years ago I was given 9-10 really good answers on my IIN posts. Now it's just 2-3 answers filled with advice that I can't even apply to my situations.
    I've honestly thought of either staying off for a few months or just leaving completely. I once said I'd go to DeviantART if I ever left permanently, but after remembering why I left DA in the first place, I refuse to go back now.

      Go to Rate My Drawings. Nice place. You can't photoshop or edit because you have to do the artwork ON the site. No scan.

        Stupid kids on the site were taking what I made, photoshopping out the watermarks, recoloring it, and calling it their own. It ultimately ended with me getting my account terminated. They're no longer on the site, but returning seems pointless since the same crap could just happen again with different people.

          Ah, I see. That is very messed up what they were doing. Understandable that you would feel like leaving and not returning...

    I did quit for awhile, don't remember why i came back, must've got bored of my other sites. I'm getting tired of it again Mostly because they don't let me post stories anymore. But i'll just use one of my troll accounts since that's what gets "karma" these days :/
    i only use it because its pretty much the only site i know of that works on my phone.

    Yes. I like the way this site is run, I like the large majority of the people here, and I think this community organizes itself quite fairly. The problem is that I feel a large amount of stress in response to an extremely small, antagonistic minority which regularly comes close to undermining the positive feelings I have about being part of this community, and it may be better for my mental health to leave soon.

      dom you just gotta get them claws out now and then. Slap a b*tch for being a b*tch nahmsayin'? It's therapeutic.

      But just before you do, you have to say, "No more Mr. Nice Guy." Untuck your shirt, undo your belt and snarl.

      Chin up, stiff upper lip - we'll plough through adversity together - It's a plough or be ploughed world.

      Life is too short to dwell on the trivialities of an internet forum. Hakuna matata.

      I have no idea what I'm saying, but it's meant to be a pep talk. Feeling better yes? :/

    I did leave... Only for a month. I couldn't resist coming back. I'm thinking about leaving again, but... I'm still making up my mind. Why? For actually leaving it for a bit, I wanted to see how long I would last. This site is my 3rd home. Now? The people here is the reason. But, I still wanna stay...

  • Yup. I don't think I'll leave, though, not straight away. I think what'll happen is I'll just be less motivated to use the site and then it'll just carry on from there until I don't come on at all.
