User blog:YoshiRocker13/An Important Announcement

Hey everyone, it's me YoshiRocker13, and today... I have an important announcement to make. I've been talking about this with the guys over at Talking Loud, and thinking wheter or not I should make this decision. But after much thinking and consideration, I've decided it's probably the best thing for me to do. My announcement is...

I'm going to be leaving the wiki.

Why are you leaving?!?
This is probably what you're wondering the most. Well, here's the big reason why I'm leaving the wiki: TOO MUCH DRAMA. When I joined the wiki back in October 2016, it was a very fun place to be on. I could have good conversations with users, talk about episodes together, post fanfictions, and just help out because I know everyone will appreciate it. But fast forward to 2017, and things have gotten BAD on this wiki. What we used to have has now turned into a prison cell. Everyone has arguments, users will bash other users, and people will bash others if they have different opinions on episodes. I should know this for a fact, because not only was I told this, but I've SEEN it as well.

This all started with the release of No Such Luck. Ever since that day the episode came out, everyone would not shut up about it. To this day, people STILL talk about it (heck, the freakin' page has over 1K comments!), and fanfics are made about it all the time. True, I DID do my own fanfiction based on the episode, but there's still so many that follow the same formula. Yet when there's people who say they LIKE the episode, they are instantly bashed by other users just because they gave out an unpopular opinion. How is that fair?! I NEVER bash other people just for having a different opinion, because doing so is unfair to the user. Granted, I know there's been a few times I was commenting AGAINST the user, but that's only in a case where the topic being bashed needs some of my defense.

And speaking of which, let's also get to what REALLY angers me about the drama: When other people are bashed for different things. The most primary example I want to bring up is with AndrewBrauer. A couple months ago, I worked with him on a fanfic called "Whipped", and after the fanfic was released, dozens of people started hating it. And while THAT is fine, opinions are opinions, suddenly, people actually started to HATE on Drew for making the fanfiction. While I myself still think the fanfiction is good and I'm proud of it, you should understand the saying "Everybody makes mistakes". But it doesn't end there either. I've seen some people bash Drew because they think he whines and complains about episodes, I've even seen some people think he hates ALL the sisters for some reason. HELLO?! FOUR of the sisters are in his top 5 favourite characters for crying out loud!! Even today, I still see people saying Drew is some sort of a**hole for what he's been doing, even saying all of his fanfictions are terrible because of what he does.

But Drew is not the only person I know to get bashed this much. Another example is WJ. A few weeks ago, WJ made a comment about not liking some of Bobbybooboobear's fanfictions. What happens afterwards? A lot of people suddenly start bashing WJ for making such a comment! They even acused him of hating ALL of BBBB's fanfictions. Personally, I think people who do this kind of thing are really stupid, and don't seem to read the fact that WJ said SOME, not ALL. I myself don't think all of BBBB's fanfictions are bad, some of them are pretty good, but some can also be pretty bad. There, I said a comment, am I suddenly gonna get bashed for it now?

Overall, the drama on this wiki is pretty dang awful, and it keeps drawing me further away from the wiki. I hate seeing some of my friends get bashed for stupid reasons, I hate seeing users get bashed for different opinions, I just hate being on this wiki primarily for this reason. I'm not saying everyone on the wiki is bad (I'll get to my special thanks in a minute), but the majority of them tend to rant or bash other people, and it's not pleasent... So yeah, that's why I've decided I'm going to leave the wiki. Now, you may also be asking...

What's going to happen to your fanfictions?
All of my fanfictions I've posted will still be on the Wiki, they won't be removed. But the last fanfiction I'm going to post on the wiki is "Annoying or Nice?", because after that, I'm done with the wiki. I won't be done with fanfictions, but they won't be on the wiki anymore. If you want to see more fanfictions from me, they'll be on my DeviantArt username "YoshiPlayer15".

But now that I've gotten all this out of the way, I would like to give my special thanks.

Special Thanks
First off, I want to thank some of the admins, AnimationFan15 and TMNT1987Dude for both helping me out with some of my fanfictions, but also for being good people to talk to, and always sticking up by me when I'm being abused. Next, I would like to thank Harburton81, and FirstDrellSpectre for helping me out with some of my fanfictions. I would also like to thank BigFanofEntertainment and CartoonFan14 for helping me out with some of the drama on the wikia. Finally, I want to thank everyone on the Talking Loud community: AndrewBrauer, MuppetSpot, Vossie, and WJ, for sticking with each other, and putting everyone in a good mood after dealing with bad things.

And finally, I want to of course thank Chris Savino, and all of the staff behind The Loud House. I'm very grateful for this cartoon, and if it wasn't for this cartoon helping me get back into writing, I don't think I ever would've gotten better at writing stories.

With all that said, thank you to The Loud House Wiki for providing most of the enjoyment I've had in it's early days. This is me, YoshiRocker13, saying...

Goodbye.
