I do not think closing it down was the right thing to do Honestly I had a panic attack, I straight up started crying points to sigI think we've all kind of come to the conclusion that tomo went a bit too far.

You're welcome! I feel if everyone at least tries to calm down and not take drastic actions, we can get things solved.
if you prefer to create your own forum just because of all of this, then so be it. It's your decision, though if you're patient in the slightest for at least the next (less than) 24 hours, OTD will most likely be back up.

Honestly, though, keeping a calm and cool head is best in this situation- for the staff and the regular users alike. It's a lot harder to get a solution that truly solves everything if either side is upset, or at least, showing that they're upset. But everyone seems pretty calm now, except, I guess for any staff that may be paranoid (don't want to claim anything here since I still am just learning what's going on). If things continue the way they are, peaceful discourse is still the way to handle it, as long as it takes to get through to...Tomo, I guess? Even if it takes a while, by then it'd be clear who is on the good side, because little can justify continuously shutting down people when they're being calm and civil. ..It's just hard, since this all counts on the other side eventually calming down as well to participate in the civil discourse. But, that's just my two cents. I'm still not entirely sure what's going on since all my information just comes from what other people are saying, so, yeah.

True. I think the other mods (sandclaw, rosewell, etc.) have been trying to help the situation, though they can't do too much.

I'm not saying you can't make another forum, but we're going to do our best and fix what we have right now. the majority of the community flocked here, and I hope they'll stay.

Thanks!
That would probably be helpful.
On a different topic, I just found my dog eating this expensive block of cheese we bought because guests were coming over.
thanks dog.

It's tomo who needs to get his act together. He hasn't even been on at all to deal with the growing OTD issue that's been developing for about a month now. I think that's why some people are going to different sites.

I'm scared tomo is gonna ban me or get mad at me for being upset, or say my problems don't matter I don't trust people , I don't trust anything tbh I doubt tomo would specifically ban you. Not when so many people have been constantly criticizing him. I feel the same way, though I wish I could have someone to trust. People at school just whisper your secrets to everyone, they literally have no self control. On the internet, and these forums I feel like I can trust complete strangers, and I want everyone to have that nice welcome feeling. I hope one day you can feel like that too. I will say this with complete certainty, you can trust me.

I can't promise he won't, but its highly unlikely. If he did though, the other mods would unban the people, that I am almost positive of. Of course. And now I must go walk to the farmers market to buy a new block of cheese. Thanks dog.

I think that's why some people are going to different sites. It also doesn't help that we get told to be grateful or they do a lot or whatever. It's like what we're saying is invalid. It's why I'm not going to report the stuff in PM because it falls on deaf ears.

Hey Guys. I had a thread on OTD called Let It out. It's a safe space where you could talk to me and Picia(Co-creator) and other people about your feelings and issues. Since we can't access it right now I wanted to let everyone know that Mine and Pic's Inboxes are open if you need to vent or talk about anything.
OTD will probably be up in a few days which is fine, I think people need to cool off anyways and realize that all this fighting isn't really worth it. I understand that everyone is upset and scared but I don't think yelling at the admins about anything is going to fix it. Tomo decided to put their time and effort into creating this forum for all of us. Let's not forget that. They probably didn't realize how immature a bunch of people were going to be. It's okay to criticize people. But I feel you should have a viable solution to the issue before you just start accusing admins of not doing their job. Yelling at them isn't going to fix anything.There are over 2,000 members on here. That's a lot of people. Obviously Tomo and Ros can't make everyone happy, but they are trying to make this a SAFE place free of all the drama and hatred that I've seen around. I don't think Tomo will ban people randomly as they haven't broken the rules for criticizing him but please remember that He is a human being too and we are all learning how to work together as a community.

Guys if anyone needs to vent or chat, PM me! If you don't want me to reply I won't. I want everyone to know that someone is willing to listen. I don't know half of you guys well enough to form any opinions on you. And I'd like to get to know people a little bit better. I might not be so active later this evening because I have a family event coming up.
