EDIT: I changed my mind a little. I'll still be on IT, but not as frequently as I have been. I want to play a lot more TEF right now, but I'll still stay on IT and play every few days or so. I'm sorry for all this drama...I didn't know what I wanted to do, and after getting the below speech off of my chest, I started to realize that I don't think I'll be any happier not playing IT.
Witcher gave Quad back his antlers, and I thank her for that. The other items I don't care about, and I hope Kyra and Ravenflight enjoy having them. As for Quad, he will be in both IT (letting lions, wolves, and hyenas eat him XD) and the Forest (dancing away with friends and strangers). I will leave the speech I wrote unedited so you can see what I had originally said:
----------------------------------------------------
Well it was a fitting end for Quad on IT today...
I let him get caught and eaten by hyenas.
Anyway, my news is that I'm leaving IT. I don't know if it's for good or if I just need a long break, but regardless I gave away all of the things that made some of my characters who they were - Quad's antlers; Infectious' green bubble; Purity's piercings; SoulTaker's fangs...
It was a lot of different reasons for me to leave...the constant begging for items, the markings, some people I thought were good friends not wanting me around, and how it has become one big popularity contest to name a few. I do have some nice friends on there - Kyra, Vanity, Phil Collins, and Genzel to name a few that were solely IT players, and everyone from Witcher, Ravenflight, Ocean, Mazey, and Sluggs who are TEF players. 9 times out of 10, though, I was just sitting around trying to find something to do, getting ignored, and wasting my time.
I guess I never really got into the pack thing. Everyone now is a wolf, vampire, hyena, or something else that is in a group that hunts, and who did I play as? Well Quad, who had reindeer antlers from Christmas, so I went ahead and made him a deer. But some people tried to say that everyone hates the idea of deer roleplay and that I had to make a 'normal' pack animal like a wolf for people to like me in the game.
I think the above picture proves otherwise. I loved being chased around, getting caught, being eaten. It was funny, and I think the pack animal players liked it too - it gave them something different to do than sit around saying 'I'm bored" or planning out pride fights. But it's too late now...I'll probably never get another set of antlers again.
As I said, I don't know if I will ever come back, but for now I'm not going to play IT anymore. I think it is for the best that I spend little or no time there and much more time on TEF...less time being bored and annoyed, and more time having fun with anyone and everyone and being able to relax.
For now, it will be as if my characters never existed... (except for Infectious, who has been 'adopted' and will be played by Kyra now)
I agree with you about the
And that Quad-nommed-by-hyenas picture is so epic.

Sorry to hear that IT didn't
There are sadly very few online communities I've found that are genuinely welcoming. It's sad really, because I'd love to give some online games a try but when I hear reviews about how cold, greedy, or snobbish the other players are, it tends to scare me away.
I'm just glad that The Endless Forest can our little save haven
True, IT doesn't fit my
I think, time by time I'll still let my characters fly around (because I really enjoy the flying mode, and all my characters have wings ^^), but I'll never get as active there as I am in TEF. :} So don't worry, Quad, I can understand your reasons to leave IT...
Oh and, btw, I think I once, on my just-run-around trips through the game, a very small lion from the player "QuadRaptor". You, huh? 8D
But since I am always not in a too chatty mood in IT and you lay around with some strangers, I just passed by, lol. xD
Lightcreator
That was probably my little
Dont forget Ravenflight
Aaaww Quad Im sorry IT dodnt go so well. But trust me, I know what you mean.
-hugz-
Aaaww well, there is still TEF
Baaaw Quad! I did try to
Being an I.Ter myself, I would like to pass in my own imput? I'm not going to defend it or anything but I would like to state a little.
Yes, the community isn't great, there are an awful lot of young children and immature people who constantly beg for items and mates, I do agree that it is all annoying, and I even admit, Superfluous(she was Morogami on TEF) is probably our only good mod.
Yes, famous people can be very arrogant and snotty, as is often the case with every community, most members know me but ever since I joined the forest, I've been trying my very very best to become a more welcoming player, I've been much more likely to acknowledge a newer member and maybe even engage in a chat, maybe help them if they need it. ^^
But that's only me, I'm sure there's others out there who don't hide in Dimensions all the time.
I.T has been accused of being unwelcoming and ignoring new members? Well much as I'd hate to say it (because this community is lovely), I've noticed a lot of similar ignoring situations here. Sure a new member may say s/he is new and everyone dives in to say hi, but what about the TEF members who always stick to their own little groups? It happens, the newer members try to contribute but they don't often get many comments because they don't have many friends, it'd have to be a true masterpiece for them to get a little notice for a while.
So yah, both communities are guilty of this, chances are most communities are. ;P
I.T isn't everybodies cup of tea though. Sorry that it didn't work out for you over there! I think I'm gonna miss seeing Quad running around in there. |c
Hopefully I'll see Quad on TEF someday soon, then. <3
Sorry for the long unnecessary post. xD

Thank you Doe! ^^
It's fine, I was kind of
As far as on here, we have people like The Lightbringers who do their best to welcome everyone into the community. I may not be a member of their organization, but I do my best to bow to everyone who approaches and make them feel like they're welcome to dance and play with whoever I may be with. Lately I haven't seen very many pictograms that I recognize, and so I always take screenshots and post them up on a 'blog' series called Quad's Candid Camera. I wish others would do the same - it really helps you learn who people are and make some great friends (I met Quad's mate, Mazey [you would know her on IT as umbrulla], though this process - she was a fawn who kept hanging around with him and eventually became the doe that fell in love with him).
I think I'm just going to take a long break from IT, and if/when I ever come back, I'll probably stick to playing as Purity or Neon Tiger. I think people really enjoyed having them around. As far as here Quad will be roaming around in the Forest a lot more, so I hope to run into you one day. And thanks for the comment - it really means a lot to hear it from you.
Kov is a dude. x3 I'm glad
I'm glad the comment is so good for you! ^^
Yes, I'm pretty sure I've talked to Unbrulla on a few occassions... Wait, yes I remember her, I had a RP with her once! She left scars on my character, Huile's belly! xD
She was pretty good despite her self critique all the time, I enjoyed RPing with her. ^^
Meet Virgil
Thank you Doe! ^^
I thought so about Kovu - I
Mazey tried to start a lion based forum rpg, but I don't think it's gotten really far. Maybe I'll try to help her get things going there (I've got a lot of experience on forum-based rpgs from playing on a stupid Pokemon one for years).
Has Kovu said anything about putting a fighting system in IT? If that ever happens, that would probably be something that may bring me back - I would like to be able to actually fight someone rather than type out "I try to slash at your neck", ect ect.
Something else I was thinking about doing is having an open invitation for my iScribble board to anyone who wanted to hang out. I've noticed a great decrease in activity on there (we used to have 8 people on every night, now it's like 3 or 4 once every few days or so), and I think iScribble is a nice icebreaker for people. My board seems to be the hangout right now, especially since I clear the board every 1-3 days so it's always available for people to draw on.
If I did that, there will be a topic on here that will ask for their iScribble name, and will talk about the site and what we do there XD
I read the entire post
By the by, what Pokemon forum were you on? (If you don't mind me asking). I was on one years ago (actually two, because one shut down for a while).
The Pokemon roleplay was
