I was feeling down and a little alone on the interwebs, when I found the Ark, and a group of people whom I thought shared my interest in comics and figures. Most of my RL friends don't really get the hobby so it was nice to have people to talk to about it. Over the last few months the mood here has changed a lot, and not for the best. The thread I joined this forum for, has become cliquish, there's bullying and out and out hostility flying about, I've even found myself wrapped up in it at times and that's not who I am or why I signed up here. What I'm getting at is that I'm going to be taking a break from the Ark for awhile. I'll still check my PMs for those who want to chat and a lot of you have found my page on FB where I can be contacted. Please try to keep in mind this is a forum where people come to talk about toy collecting. It's not the street, you don't have to play hardcore, your not impressing or intimidating anyone. That said, I hope things here get better, and I wish everyone the best.

If it seems cliquey I think that just stems from a group of people who post a lot more than most. Not a bad or malicious thing.. just what naturally happens to people of simpilar habits and styles.

Ok.. someone owes me .50 for my dime store psychology.

There goes the girl to guys ratio. ::throws hands::

VM, I can relate to shitty HT stories, and equally awesome TA stories. Maybe when you come back you won't allow common forum varmints to get under your skin. I know it takes practice. I struggle w keeping my mouth shut (or keyboard quiet) in forums for whatever sillyfuck life reason. It's the human condition.

CompleX.

Hope to see you back soon.
