I've had a tough time figuring out how to word things here, my thoughts will be unfiltered so fair warning.

If your reading this, then I've decided to depart from the community.

I let it wait out for some months before making a decision, but I feel like this decision is the best one for me mentally.

Not because I wanted to, but because others once again ruined the fun of MUGEN for me...and I just don't have the patience to deal with this shit anymore. Not now at least. 
I don't want to have to put all of my information at risk because some idiot in another country wants private characters because they're too retarded to understand the concept 
of "no". Its goddamn petty.

Maybe it was my fault, or I'm over-reacting and paranoid, I was told the community hasn't changed; it got worse. Should have listened, didn't take the hint because I was high 
on the nostalgia. When it comes to potentially having my information stolen, or at least the idea it could have happened. I cross the line there. All this over a few shitty 
fucking edits no one cares about; just so someone can get that .01 second dopamine for saying they "leaked" it. Because you have to "OWN DA PRIVETEERS", because MUGEN has no
rules; and yet these fuckers cannot understand a simple concept of courtesy? Or respect? Act like that in the real world, you'll find out real fast that kind of retardation 
doesn't fly. 

Granted, I had nothing of value in my roster; on my folder. But the point still stands, the fact someone would make a trojan just to get "private" characters; its a concept
I still cannot fathom. But expected from a niche community that thrives on drama and bullshit. An invasion of privacy that feels like it opened the door to potentially even
something more dangerous. Y'all did it, and I can't applaud you more for your achievement in stupidity. All over some dumbass text files, for a game engine at that which
is niche as hell. All so you can "own da privateers", almost 10 years later and nothing changes. I can finally understand why KaminaMario did what he did, and I guess 
its time to follow in his footsteps.

I really can't trust anyone in the community anymore, outside of a few at least. Didn't want to make a big deal of it, and tried to keep it to myself; but it really just
reached a boiling point that I thought it was the best choice for me. I'm in my late 20s now, and as I get older I just can't deal with this shit anymore. Too stressful, 
too annoying to deal with or worry about. I don't know when, or if I'll be back again, I don't have the drive or motivation; that spark is gone because it was soured by 
all the dumb shit I've witnessed in this community (specifically from the western/non-eastern sides; im still very chill with the eastern authors, i have only respect 
for most of these authors whom i look up to). Its so fucking stupid that I don't even know why I came back, because I'm cursed with this eternal bad luck or something.

I got my hit of nostalgia, got to experience some cool things; meet some really cool new authors and see how far characters have come since my "prime", and I just feel 
like anything else has been soured because regardless of where you look; your always bound to find undesirables who ruin it; and that's kind of why I just don't want to 
deal with it anymore. Can't be a problem if I don't know they exist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Moving forward, my Mega.NZ will remain up. My X account will remain up but protected, my Youtube account will remain up but the videos will be privated and my Discord account 
will be deleted. All updates and anything I've had planned has been paused for now. If I do decide to update something, it will probably be uploaded quietly. 

Sorry things had to be this way, but it is what it is. I've written like 3-4 revisions of this because I didn't want to sound edgy, but eh; I just don't care anymore.
