My views on all of this...

I enjoy the Endless Forest because it's my people. This isn't some tribal-marking wolf community, or some high-school modern vampire community, but a community about deer, my favorite animal. It's a community of people who enjoy doing artwork, writing, roleplaying, and actually playing as a deer in a forest.

If I had never found the Endless Forest, I really don't know what I would be like. I probably would have still been hooked on first-person shooter games and stuff like that. I probably would not have had the same views on environmentalism as I do now. I might not have even liked deer at all.

Look, I know this is going to come off as some kind of pompous speech, but it's really not. It's coming from the heart - I don't want to lose the Endless Forest. I don't want this to share the same fate as Impressive Title, where the creators got so fed up with all the hacking, bickering, and drama that they shut it down. There is no other community like this, I have found nowhere else where a 24-year old guy can write stories, enjoy artwork, and play a game where I am a deer.

Where I live, the kind of person I am is looked down upon. I'm supposed to be a man that enjoys NASCAR, killing deer, and staring at women. But I'm not, that isn't me. This is where I belong.

So please guys, the fighting and bickering needs to stop. It's like watching two family members argue, one may be right and one may be wrong but you still love them both equally. I understand that we as human beings don't always agree on things, but does that mean we have to wage war against each other about it? Can't we handle things like this in a more civilized manner?



I love you all, alright?

It-I... Let me draw. I can't speak the language that can't be written by writing it~


Let me try to explain. I come from a society where girls, at age 12-16 should be into guys. Guess what? I despise anything to do with them. It's not that there bad, it's that I don't fit the norm created by NM. :|

I never seem to notice when

I never seem to notice when someone's fighting here, but it always makes me sad when I hear about it... I agree with you, it's amazing how tEF pretty much stays innocent and I don't ever want that to change either. I agree with you 100%!

There are always the people

There are always the people on this Earth whose duty in life is to make sure that no one else shares their happiness... the people who'll do something bad just to ruin something perfect.
I can pray to my deities for all my life and thatll be the most I can ever do to stop someone from hacking TEF. But I can agree with you, Quad, and know that Ill stand by ya and the rest if the community ever encounters a really big fight (gods forbid that it should) :3

Smiling very well put. I havent even noticed squabbling amongst deer Sad I thought that all fights I saw in the Forest were strictly roleplay.

And yes, you brought up a good point.But can I add to it? We are not just human beings, we have in ways ranging from small to large become our deer. So as a herd, let us stop fighting please Smiling

<333 Thanks for bringing this up Quad.
This land is made of love and peace!

I have yet to witness any of the in-game fighting or actually even see any of the 'popularity' nonsense going on in posts... but I agree. I hope everyone can put all of this aside, before it goes too far and we lose these things.
