Darkness Embraced :: Vampire and Occult Society

If you have logged in and tried to access the forum, you probably received a message that the forums are disabled. This isn’t a glitch, I have purposely disabled them. I am putting everyone on vacation and giving myself one at the same time.

For quite some time now, the energy on this site has been at a very negative and chaotic level. I am sure many of you have noticed this, and if you haven’t, then you have been quite fortunate. I know there are some of you that have tried very hard to make a turn around and bring great inspirations to the board, but the screams of anguish, depression, hatred, and chaos has overwhelmed them.

DE has been around for nearly ten years. Out of those ten years, I would have to say this one has been the worst one experienced. Where there was once camaraderie, kindness, love, and tons of inspiration for the soul, there is bickering, arrogance, pride, lack of patience, and all around nastiness. Usually, we have seen this type of atmosphere phase in and out rather quickly, but it isn’t phasing out this time around. I am concerned. I am wondering each and every day before I turn on this pc, what I will be facing on this site next. I am to my breaking point. I kept telling myself to hang on, but I am finding very little to hang onto here anymore. Spiritually, this place is killing me. And where this place lacks in that department, someone else is stepping in. It never used to be like this here. This was my utopia, now, it’s my hell.

I need all of you, myself included, to sit and do some soul searching for the next couple of days. Spend some time meditating or doing something that will make us feel good about who and what we are. I want us to observe our environments and find 10 things that are a blessing to us and make waking up tomorrow the best day of our lives. I want to hear/tell a story about someone who has served as an inspiration to us, someone that we would choose as a role model. I want us to think about the person that we dislike the most and think of at least two things that are good about them. I want us to think of humility and being humble, having patience with those who don’t understand. Be Gentle. Remember, we were once new to all of this too.

This place has brought me to tears tonight and I just can’t bear to look at what has happened to this place as of late. We are becoming everything that we despised about other communities. We have become bitter, vicious and stagnant. If this is how this is to be, then I believe it’s time to put DE out of her misery. I don’t want to remember this place as it is, but as it was.

It’s up to me and you as to what course of direction DE will take. We will try to accomplish this and see if we can’t bring DE back to the way it was. If we fail, then we can at least say we tried and stop beating a dead horse and let it rest in peace.

Sincerely,
Larae
