@bettafish left because a lot of us Eggcavers were being so mean to her about her creature. Next time a newbie wins a rare creature, let's just congratulate them, let them do what they want with it, and move on with our lives! â˜šī¸

We didn't make her leave. She chose to leave.

@balletninja Some of the Eggcavers (not naming names) were being so rude to her that she quit. It wasn't you, though, I saw you in her Macbot forum and you weren't being mean, just other people were D:

@avelaingia Yeah, some were being unkind. But no one ever made her quit. They needed our help, and I am sure once this drama cleared up betta would have had a great time. But she left. Her choice. I understand though!

@rawrcookies08 Yup, but we still never physically made her leave.

@avelaingia
Exactly.
Most of this site is the good edge - about 99% of it...
but as you said, "We just need to all grow up a bit and think before we speak."
That is the one thing on the bad edge. That is the one thing that sometimes drives users away.
Users leave for other reasons...

but @bettafish wouldn't have left if we had all thought for a moment. She had been driven away by the second edge.

@chloekins At least you don't beg her to stay.

She would just be unhappy I guess xD

It was her choice! For the better or worse!

She left because she didn't want to deal with the garbage people were throwing at her. No, no one made her leave. She made her own choice. But the hostile attitudes of other users were the cause of it. That's something those users should be ashamed of. Instead of trying to rationalize their ridiculous behavior, they should accept that they were being childish and abrasive and that it was their actions that drove her to leave.

This is not the kind of treatment new users should receive. Whether or not it was her choice to leave, the attitudes and behavior of many of our users is inexcusable.

I might even consider leaving for a little while, but I won't be able to I'm too addicted to this site xD

Seriously though, I'm only 12 and the people who are older than me are being worse.

@fluffy I don't think so at all.

You were disappointed.
So was I.

This whole situation is really weird you know?
Very vague.

I think it was confusing. That is why all this has been said and done.

I feel really bad that maybe i did something to make her want to quit (i was kinda selfish)

We should all think before we post...this is just a game.

Deleted • 14 January 2012 at 9:26 PM

Guys, you seriously dont have to blame people because we were being crappy to her.

Oh well.

Life goes on.

Users come and go >.<

@chloekins
Live without regrets.

Good point.

We can't go back and change it! 😉

Deleted • 14 January 2012 at 9:28 PM

@chloekins - how much I know the last part is true. Sometimes I hate the forums just because of that, and I know Ian's doing his best to enforce the rules, but there are sometimes so many people to keep track of!

I think I liked the older version of eggcave and wish that we could switch back and forth between them, it was WAYY easier to feed creatures when the links for lists weren't at the bottom of the page XD

@rawrcookies08
I mean,
yes you tried.
But now watch as people strongly discuss something that can just be forgot about.
This whole thing is bizarre.
Let it all go...
Selfish people are going to be selfish people /:

It's rather worrying that people aren't unnerved by what happened tonight. I agree with @avelaingia; too many users are simply saying "it isn't my fault/problem" or "we can't change what happened; oh well" and don't seem to be bothered by the fact that a potentially dedicated user was driven away by childish and selfish behavior.

@balletninja Lol xD Can I make the Drama Merchandise, Co. Lunchboxes? 😃

Deleted • 14 January 2012 at 9:34 PM

Yes, we are saying those stuff like we cant change the fact and we cant.

She left.
We stay.

What do you want us to do? Leave because of a user being hated on? >.<
