    I think you mean "anyone" instead of "FOXY".

    But yeah, Foxy's... thing-we're-talkin'-'bout is bad.

    Moderately new I've heard of you and seen you around a few times... But I absolutely hate seeing anyone go... Especially because they feel singled out... To feel like family then treated badly... Tis an awful thing

    I've PMed Eight Star, Kuja and Tyro what happened. As I said, maybe I'm overreacting but it really got under my skin and I don't think I can stay here any longer now. It was fun while it lasted and I look forward to talking to everyone on skype.

    Well that leaves 2 then. And the one I'm pretty sure didn't do it. Which leaves the winner.

    I cant believe that you're leaving Foxy. This sucks, being treated like an outcast in your own home. I understand what you're going through, i have been through it as well. I was a social outcast at my own school for years. Just remember you have family here, and that we will miss you on you're journey in life.

    I hope to see you again someday. Who knows when and where, but someday.Your creation of this site has changed my life and i will never forget it's founding father, addios amigo

    All i ever knew was that Foxy was EP's head when i joined. I don't think i've ever heard of TWIF. I just assumed that Foxy made the site, but that isnt really important at the moment. After all, the only head that i know is leaving.

    This is an outrage. If none of the staff have any idea. Yet foxy said it involved staff. Which staff member has yet to own up.

    Grey and TWIF made the site.

    I know this because I'm the oldest member here.

    I see. Guess he removed it. Send me a PM and I'll give you a link. I'm pretty sure if I just post it here, it'd get deleted like it did in the other thread.

    If you want to ask me something, do it here.

    And Testy's right, Grey Nightmare and TWIF made the site. They recruited Jaret to the admins. After some time Derpy Hooves was made an admin and Jaret was removed. Then when Grey left the site Derpy was made head of the site. After some time I was put in charge and due to my own failing Derpy left the staff soon after. Grey Nightmare returned after some time, then he left, with Berry Punch and Zephyr becoming admins along with Mike406. I stepped down after some time. After that I don't know the train of events, but now Tyro the Fox and Eight Star are in charge. All hail the RP mods uprising!

    EDIT: As you can see I have a signature still, I just chose not to post it. I will be removing it after my AMA though.

    After some digging around we found out what happened (mainly thanks to Foxy). Once Tyro and Eight are informed we'll get to work on fixing the problem. That's about all i can say for now.

    When the problem is fixed you will let us know the story, right? A staff member doing enough to make Foxy leave? Something very, very wrong happened. Something like this should not be forgotten and calls for more than a "slap on the wrist".

    *ponders* How many times can someone apologize before those words mean nothing?

    Foxy and I aren't the most active people on the site, but I'm going to miss him being here.

    Well duh. Foxy had direct contact with the staff member in question. Of course you'd be able to figure it out.

    I still would like to know though, not a fan of sitting in the dark waiting.

    For real bro?

    Well you know how it goes. We're in the middle of discussing it now so you'll hear the story when everyone else will. :derpe:

    Even though I never got to know or talk to Foxy it's still sad to see a fellow member leave.

    ok, I can't even imagine what must have happened for you to leave EP.

    First I thought it was a joke, or that you're going away temporary ( going on some trip, or will be without internet for some time), but I didn't expect this.

    Hey, if you need any help, you can always contact me.
    We'll stay in touch on skype, and we'll see each other in London, ok?

    You misunderstand me. It takes a lot for Foxy to feel unwelcome.

    Huh, looks like I picked a bad time to come back to say hi.
    In fact Foxy, I haven't talked to you for a long time.

    Regardless, I'll pop up on Skype and hopefully see you again at MCM this year.
    Toodles.
