Forgive that title, I couldn't really think of something more appropriate for my introduction. Besides, a title that is interesting will catch the eyes of more users! Well, I should get to introducing myself: My name is Gary, but you can call me Finesthour. My avatar is from a show called Soul Eater, but I am a critic on another forum (to which I will get to in a bit), so I made him/her my own personal persona. I've been an avid forum user for many years now, (Eight, to be exact). I am currently fifteen years old, but turning sixteen in September. I am an actor, an author, a roleplayer, a critic, and a video game enthusiast. My dress si- Oh, that'd be silly, wouldn't it? Well, time to explain why exactly I decided to join this forum. Back in October, I joined a forum for My Little Pony, such as this one. It was a cozy little forum, with just a few hundred members. I became member number 242. I wasn't noticed at first, but I wouldn't let this keep me down. Slowly, I became the top poster on the forum, becoming the first user to reach 1,000 posts. I was beyond happy to get this achievement for the forum, and the other members were as well. The place became my home, and I completely submerged myself into it. I was as happy as could be watching the forum grow into a bustling place, with many new faces and many new friends. Then, everything changed when the fire nation attack- (Paragraph was getting a bit large, new one!) Well, that last line wasn't all fiction. When season two ended, everyone on the forum just... stopped being wonderful people. When June hit, I met someone named Serenity. We became fast friends. I had no one else in the world, so I gave her all my attention. My entire life, basically. I developed a crush on her, but she was eighteen, and had a boyfriend. She turned me down, (without me even asking?) and I was hurt. So, I met someone named Lexa. Very long story short, she broke my heart as well. I was crushed, just moving along with the wave of time. Then, I met my current girlfriend Amanda. She picked me up off of my feet, and made me happy again. For some reason, Serenity did not like that. Not. At. All. (She's Heath Ledger!) She set out to destroy everything I loved dear. On the other forum I was on, I was very open about my life. Well, she attacked everything I stood for. She raided threads about the subject, and made status updates that were very insulting and rude. After a while, the users began to believe I started the drama between us. They began to dub the drama starter. Slowly, I began to be hated on the place I called home for months. Now, just yesterday (I am typing this at midnight), a mod that I am good friends with convinced me to take a vacation from the forum so an investigation could be held against the people who were harassing me. This was all fine and dandy(It wasn't), but soon I found out that people began to hate me for things I did not do. Lies and rumors were spread around, and I became the forums #1 target of hate. Members I thought were my really good friends made status updates saying they hated me, and never said it to my face. None of them cared to ask what had happened, or what was going on. They just assumed I caused everything to happen. Now, I no longer feel welcome on my long time home... so I decided to ultimately leave. I did so with a heavy heart, and with tears shed. I am hoping that this forum does not fall into the clutches of evil people who are set out to hurt others. This is the former Crona The Critic from mlpforum. I hope to stay here for a while, and hopefully make this place my home. I left the other forum with close to 15,000 posts. I hope to do the same here as well.
