Probably? I never pay attention to names either, but there are a few Escapers who post anime tits a lot.Wintermute said:I'm awful with names. Was he that one guy who's really into anime and women with gigantic tits?
Well, that was pleasantly unexpected. Although now that you're here, I actually don't know what to ask. I gotta say though, you should move out of California ASAP. That place really sucks. The only nice thing about it is the northern part, scenic wise.Caramel Frappe said:Hey guys, didn't think anyone would notice but ... that was a bit silly of me to assume. I could try to lie and make excuses, but I won't. I'm just going to give you the absolute truth because you guys deserve at least that from me.

Thanks for all of your efforts, and thanks for trying to bring some light back to the bleak situation we're in. Real life is more important though, so I wouldn't even hesitate to make the choice you did. However things go for us here, well... we'll see. But you did your best, and that's all I ever really wanted from people here.Caramel Frappe said:You did good, kid.

Perfectly understandable. Sometimes life just gets in the way. It's not going to be the same without you though.Caramel Frappe said:Hey guys, didn't think anyone would notice but ... that was a bit silly of me to assume.

[HEADING=3]Question 1: Why did you leave us, Frappe?[/HEADING]
Because my life isn't exactly peachy right now. Sure, it's not bad and I consider myself lucky for a lot of things that I do have ... but at the current moment, it's not smooth. My real life job is stacking hours onto me, where I only get 1 day off and i'm working over 50+ hours to pay for bills. I live with my parents, so it's not too difficult, but here in California- things are expensive. As much as I would of loved continuing to try helping the website, i'm too drained. Had to leave an RP I was in, and abandon a few projects, just to make sure I didn't shut down on anyone. So case in point, my job is really demanding for my attention.
Thanks for the apology. I assumed it was all Defy's fault anyway.[HEADING=3]Question 2: Why didn't you live up to your promises, Frappe?[/HEADING]
I admit, some things were my fault. I shouldn't of gotten people's hopes up (especially my own) in fixing the website. I merely assumed with my power and access to the control panel, I could keep this place up. Sadly, I am not a tech expert and to have actual people like Kross here ... would require money. No one is usually willing to work for free, and Defy refused my numerous e-mails and calls (yes, phone calls) to allow me in saving this website. If they allowed me full control of the panel and allowed me to edit / change things, surely this website would have protection against the bots along with functional commands. Again, sadly, I do not have that access and despite trying everything I could ... I failed my community. I promised you guys that I would solve the problems, but I only left you all in the dark. It would be like going up to your child and saying Santa isn't bringing any presents this Christmas, because in truth, you couldn't afford those presents. That was the gut punch I felt when I couldn't do anything to help you guys. I'm sorry.
My Steam username is Canadian Saiyan (I really need to change that)[HEADING=3]Question 3: Does this mean we'll never see you again, Frappe?[/HEADING]
Maybe not here, on The Escapist ... however, I do hold other accounts on multiple websites. If you want to befriend me or stay in touch for whatever reason, I do have a Steam [http://steamcommunity.com/id/CaramelFrappe/] account with the same username. I also play on the Xbox One and PS4, with an online membership (you'll have to PM me if you want my username for those). I even have a Discord account (The Dark Soul#3686) if you guys want to hit me up there. While I am messaged daily by numerous people, sometimes I stay quiet because i'm just trying to enjoy my time alone. Odd thing to say, but sometimes isolation is what brings me peace, sometimes.
So long my friend, till we meet again.[HEADING=3]Question 6: I've got things to say / ask you, Frappe![/HEADING]
Go right ahead. I won't hide or lie about anything ... ask if you insist. I'll be here, reading whatever else you guys have to say. Just wanted to thank you all again for making my time here well spent, and I appreciate you guys a lot. Very much so, actually, because this website helped me through some rough times. Hopefully, you guys are getting through without much problem as well.

tbf, Gamergate played a pretty pivotal role in the downfall of this site. So whenever there's talk of the Escapist's demise, it's generally expected that some of that talk will turn towards GG.Elvis Starburst said:It seems like every thread we have that involves someone leaving it devolves into this, as well as a GG ***** fit.
