    Today an event occurred that caused me to feel quite unwelcome. I was singled out by the staff of this site and told that due to recent events I would be held to different rules than others, or rather rules they may have been being lax with they are enforcing strictly. Either way, when I was told this I felt overwhelmingly filled with... I can barely describe it. This site that I joined, that I felt like family at some point, that I was once leader of... and I was treated like this. Maybe this is over-reacting and I feel this has been a long time coming but I feel my time here as an active member has ended.

    As of tomorrow night, I'll be removing all personalization from my profile except for my forum avatar. If you want to talk, get me on skype. If I don't have you on skype, PM me and I'll decide whether to add you.

    To the staff, no hard feelings personally to you all.

    For the final time,

    Sayonara everypony.

    Well. I can't really make an sort of guess at anything. Honestly, the last staff thing I was informed about I wasn't told certain things that kinda made it clearer. Right now all I know is LPP had some issue with EP. The even removed your link from a post in that weekly thing. Must have been a massive rule breach I guess. The mods are just doing what's best, right? I'd really love to know the issue.


    See ya foxy. Maybe one day I'll pop over on LPP.

    Sorry to hear this Foxy, even myself I'm unaware of this treatment.
    If anything I would never want anyone/pony to be treated differently from another in something of a bad way.

    I wish you a farewell from Everypony, I'll keep in contact via Skype if you wish.
    It was beyond great even for one like myself to look back and see what people such as yourself done for the site.
    It's truly brilliant, and this comes from a user of January this year.

    *Offers Hugs*

    You shall be greatly missed, Foxy.

    Never spoke to you. Never met you. No idea who you are >.>

    Regardless, I do not like that anyone must leave, for any reason, especially being made to feel outcast. I wish you luck on your future endeavors.

    May the wind forever show you the right direction. *salutes*
    (btw, love the avatar...)

    I would say my two cents, but... I like RPing enough to not get banned.

    Anyways, sad to hear another person go. So many new members, but so many old members leaving.
    I'd actually say somethin', but I didn't really get to meet you.

    Oh wow...Gotta' catch up on the site history, me thinks ^^

    Foxy made the site a rather wonderful thing by the looks of it back in the time of his adminship

    P.S. I'll guarantee to come on and watch the LPP streams, same time and all, is that correct Foxy?

    Wait, the **** is with this? I would think that you of all people would be allowed to bend the rules, not the opposite, know what I mean? I would love to say that this is outrageous, a disgrace even, yet we don't know the details. Nonetheless, this is pretty shaming, and it hurts your forum when a previous administrator is being treated so harshly with, as we are being led to believe, little to no provocation.

    Not really, there's actually some things I know people do not want you to hear. If you want some EP history, go ask one of the senior members. The older the member the better.

    Wow... Well, even as staff, I had no idea that this was happening. Perhaps I just missed something and granted, I don't know the details or the context, but this sounds really unfair and cruel... I'm gonna miss having you here Foxy. I'm just glad I still know you on skype. You were a good administrator and your still a good friend.

    This would be like telling someone on the staff they couldn't have any communication with someone who wasn't on the staff.

    ...If that makes sense.

    But you're radio. I'm not being rude towards you but do they even count RP, chat, fan fic and radio mods as real mods? It doesn't really seem they do. Maybe it was just a need to know basis. Staff things are always so fun.

    Everything major is usually talked over at length in a specific staff room. They couldn't really have talked about it without me and others knowing. That leads me to believe that this was either discussed in a private conversation between specific staff or wasn't discussed at all.

    @Echo They're a lower level of mod, a section mod really. I'm not sure what you mean by "real mod" They have their assigned duties.

    Anyway, there's a few things I would say about /some/ of the staff but I'll keep that to myself I guess. It's truly sad to see you go Foxy, as for why you'd be held at a different rule-set is quite beyond me. Leaves me a bit speechless actually.

    You know. I wonder who that /some/ is. I feel like I have an idea, but once again I have nothing to I
    go off of.


    Of course it was private. I've always thought the lower staff were kept out of things unfairly.

    I wonder who made the decision then. I can only think of 4 people that could have made it.

    Foxy, I swear I'll message you on Skype once I think of something interesting to say.

    It's really sad to see you go, but at least I know where to find you. As for this whole mystery debacle...guh...
