Hey, everyone, I have decided after thinking this few for a few days and my heart is racing saying this and I feel like crying, I need a space like what this used to be but after the recent change that I dont think this place is suitable for me anymore, that feels so fresh in my head and unrealistic but these changes are becoming too much and Im not happy. I’ve always appreciated the early days of this community non-judgmental, genuine, and supportive, with amazing mods and members. Recently, though, things have changed in a way that I can no longer ignore. The supposed improvements seem to have made the environment more restrictive, and it’s become increasingly difficult to stay patient when the place that once meant so much to me feels like it’s falling apart. It’s especially hard when I see incredible members, who’ve given their time to support others, being treated unfairly and isolated from each other, with actions being blamed on “safeguarding,” but feeling disingenuous. Despite claims of changes, it’s clear these actions are more about saving face than actually addressing real issues. I will always appreciate the support I’ve received here, and I’m proud of all of you, but I can’t stay in a space that no longer feels like home. We were once like family, and that’s something I’ll always cherish, but sadly, this community has evolved into something else, and I can’t remain in it any longer. I'm going to finish off in the next few days, I'm aiming before the weekend.
Bye everyone, stay strong

No problem, thank you, you take it easy @toffuna101
No problem @DonnerKebab I've not known you long but you definitely seem like a great lad
Bless you @eylah thank you so much I'll miss you too, you keep strong for me please ❤️
Gee, your making me blush with that. First time I've been called a great lad in my life lol. Take care of yourself okay. You're a genuinely great person from what I've seen, and I hope you can find another community like the early days of this one where you can enjoy yourself and feel like home again in.
I totally agree with you on the mix not having a family like vibe anymore I definitely feel that, it's become more quiet and cold quite recently so I can understand why you want to leave.
I'm going to miss you tons on here but I also respect your choice too as well. I'm always here if you do need anything in the meantime. However I wish you all the best in your new adventures and where they may take you.
Sending big hugs,
Amy22
Really appreciate and I'm glad you're happy with my comment, I wish I could stay but I don't think I can deal with the changes and everything anymore. Thank you
I remember the early days with you too Amy, quizzes, pming you christmas which we can't do ever again, chats it was great, 2022 where it all started. What an amazing community it used to be and I really wish I could stay but everything's gone, chat boards and chats, that it. Thank you for the kindness, I wish you best of luck too.
I’m so sad to see you go @Redemption and I wish you so much luck with the rest of your employment journey. You’re doing really well in a difficult job market, be proud of yourself for persevering. Take care 🫂
I still remember the good old quizzes on the chats as well
Those were the days ❤️ back when The Mix was The Mix
Thank you @AnonymousToe I remember a comment from you when I was in a low place and you asked if I was safe etc, I was thinking about that earlier. Really appreciate you ❤️. I hope university is better for you now. You take lots of care too.
