Yeah yeah I'm back. Didn't say I was gonna leave forever lol.
[spoiler][i]Oh great, here goes Lady Ghost again with her cringey threads[/i]
Lol. It's been a wild ride here on these forums but it's time I said my goodbyes. I feel like with me gone, you guys can finally enjoy a better forum experience free of white knights and teens who worship me.
"Stop being dramatic, Sara, it's the internet. Just words on a screen. Ignore it and don't feed the trolls." Well, I did. For about two years. For two years I've put up with the name-calling, [url=http://imgur.com/a/76L4r]the catfish comments[/url], the attention-whoring comments, [url=http://imgur.com/a/wnkQs]the hate messages[/url], the [url=http://imgur.com/a/zKCLl]PMs telling me to die(which are really disturbing)[/url], the irrelevant memes and completely random stuff I've come to experience on here and I have to say, thanks to you guys I've developed a slightly thicker skin online. And I've ignored all of those stuff and even played along with them.
But it's gotten out of hand. It's no longer just BNET. My Tumblr is now floating around several groups. [url=http://imgur.com/a/mjGj9]My personal email address has been leaked[/url] and spammed with memes. [url=http://imgur.com/a/klNNU]I was impersonated a while ago and they pretended to be me giving away my Kik[/url]. My name has been posted around Reddit and the Bungiepedia website. My Discord server has been raided and spammed. And I've had enough.
Everything I do here gets hate. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/204388563]My art thread[/url] gets hate for being nothing but [url=http://imgur.com/a/kBwdM]random words slapped on a document using Microsoft Paint[/url]. The thread [url=https://www.bungie.net/en-us/Forums/Post/214397352]where I got on my guitar and stepped out of my comfort zone to sing(something I have never done before in public) for everyone[/url] had people calling me an attention whore who feeds on likes and replies. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/221136172?sort=0&page=0]The thread of me recording a voice-over in #Destiny[/url] had people believing I paid a girl to record that and that I was actually a guy lmao. It's honestly ridiculous. And it shouldn't bother me but at this point it's ruining my threads. I do these things because I love giving back to the community but it's always met with negativity. [url=http://imgur.com/a/HKpmo]And you guys with your downvote brigades[/url]; it's really dumb and ironically those threads usually end up in trending. Not that it matters but efforts like that are really childish.
I feel like the only way to stop all this is just to leave and hope it dies off. Isn't that the reason for all the hate? Surely it was all a ploy to scare me off? I don't think you actually find this "fun," do you? [url=http://imgur.com/a/BPoWK]Oh wait nvm[/url].
But thank you, all the decent people who are here. Thank you for making this forum slightly more bearable. You are the reason I even bother coming back here. I'm sure Bungie never intended this place to be a toxic wasteland full of hate and politics but I'm sad it has come to be that way. But I've met some great people, some really talented members and people who made me laugh. For that, I thank you. Thank you for making my day.
But the reason I'm leaving isn't really about me being offended or hurt or any of that. I really don't want this place to change who I am as a person. I have to admit I'm slowly turning into this cancer, even if just a tiny bit. There are words and phrases that I now know that I have never heard before and I'm using those words. And with me leaving, I hope you guys wouldn't have to see my [url=http://imgur.com/a/sEgKr]"followers" and "white knights"[/url] and with me gone maybe the Khanate can stop messing with me and other groups. I've always heard of all these great forum members and how awesome they were and I've always wondered what happened to them. Now I know.
Will I come back? Maybe. I don't know. Maybe once all of this dies down, if it does. But for now I'll stick to my Discord server, which you can join if you want. You can also PM if you want to reach me but for the meantime, I'm done with the forums. Yes I'm being overdramatic with this thread but oh well, add it to the list of cringey things I do here.
I guess I'm officially a ghost now. Goodbye :)[/spoiler]

Sorry to hear that. Those douche bags on offtopic are just trolls.
