Dear Everyone,

Dear Everyone, 

Dear Everyone, 

Please hear me out. How do you feel when a CBer leaves? It feels awful, like losing a friend, right? CBers leaving is awful for everyone, even if it sometimes has to be done. Sometimes it is impossible for someone to stay. Maybe your parents don't support it, or maybe you're too busy. Maybe something awful happened to the CB, like a war, and you didn't want to be around then. That's very sad, but it's understandable. When someone leaves, they're leaving a lot more than just an online writing website for kids. They're leaving behind all the love and joy, all the great threads, Kyngdom, CaC, BaB, DtE, PP, and Inkwell! (Yes, I did that by memory) not to mention This Month! Even though nobody ever goes there and makes interesting threads except me (and Scylla and the CBers who list the people who got published) they're also leave behind people who care about them. People who love them, and relate to them. And hopefully, they care about those people too. But it really hurts us, us who are being left behind, when a CBer leaves. And it hurts the CB! Leaving is no small affair, and is not to be taken lightly. You can just go make a thread saying, "I'm leaving. Sorry I have to do this. Bye, guys." And then take off. You can. But it's not very kind to us other people. Leaving is something that needs a lot of thought put into it. No. If you are hurt, mad, upset, don't leave! That's all the more reason to stay and resolve it! We are big kids, guys, we should know this! If you're going to leave, please have a real good reason. Right now on the CB, there are many people leaving. Cho, Daisy, Dandelion, Gared (although he decided  to stay, now.)  and it's just really heartbreaking. All those CBers mean a lot to me, and I don't want them gone. It's so awful and grievous, I've tjought about leaving myself. I can't take much more of this. But, then I'd be hurting you guys just like other leaving CBers have hurt me. Cho, Daisy, please take the time to think through this again, and don't keave just because the other one does! Besides, I'm not even sure what 'issue' is bothering you! There are lots of CBers I miss a lot. Mei, Ashlee G., and Boe Capt. Jack, to name a few. But anyway, I'm not mad at anyone, and im definitly not pointing any fingers (or thumbs!) Im sorry if I offended or hurt anyone, and please know that leaving won't make me hate you or anything. I can't make anyone stay, but I think I can make you realize how bad leaving really is, and maybe everyone will think it through more thoroughly from now on. TI you who are leaving, farewell. Thank you for taking the time yo read this. 

Nugget said avet. A vet? Oh dear, this must be urgent! Now he says keer. He's becoming delusional already!

I have, Leeli. And it's tearing me apart. Don't think that it's easy. But I believe I'm doing the right thing here.

I understand, Cho. Though I wish you wouldn't leave, I respect your decision, and I get why you're leaving. The issue really bothers me, and I'm starting to doubt whether I can stay too.
