I welcome the news of IF being cleaned up from spam posts even if I lose some in the process. Hopefully not so much that I end up back with the restrictions of the earlier ladder groups. Some key points about the availability of moderators should be taken into account. It's a very tough job that receives a lot of criticism especially in forums where there are lots of emotional attachments to characters and people not behaving in a civil manner. That said there should be a prompt and active moderator that you can message to get things done and that person should either be renumerated or chosen on the basis that they are available. If they will be busy regularly or will have exams and the likes then maybe for their sake they shouldn't be considered. Studies and real life comes first so to join the moderation team you need your life to allow you that freedom so you can do the job and not get overwhelmed.

This morning, having woken up far too early, I thought over my cycle of behaviour. Excitement -> addiction -> disappointment -> misery -> frustration and finally dejection. It's a cycle that affects a lot of what I do and even though the intial stages are great and extremely productive it is the middle and latter stages that cause a lot of discontentment and strife.

I wrote a little on starting out with your goals earlier on however I have no follow up. This is because I have no idea how to deal with the middle bit of achieving goals. The bit where you do things, fail or suceed and then adapt or celebrate. I haven't formed any sort of understanding to even write it. What I have formed is a clearer understanding that I set myself goals and come up with ideas for bad reasons and that set me up for disappointment. I'm not able to bounce back quickly and yes I am negative. I am eyeore not pooh. I even have a cardigan the same colour as that morose donkey which is saying something. That's also why six months into the year this treehouse is devoid of any progress in terms of what I have done in my life. I haven't done anything and it's not about slow pace. It's about me not sitting down and doing it. I'm chasing other things or just doing nothing. No motivation, no discipline and no enthusiasm to follow any of my projects or any of my "grand" ideas.

So I think I need to cull some of my ideas and beat the living day lights out of my stubborn self to tell her to quit being like this. Quit being so ambitious and then miserable when your over the top idea falls through. How is a castle in the air going to be supported anyways?

A little bit of a disclaimer is needed. I can get a bit much and very negative. I can also get very hyper and ridiculously optimistic in thinking I'm going to be great until I hit the proverbial wall. If it's much and annoying then genuinely I'm sorry for the experience.

Also I'm aware I over think and the likes. I know I do it and saying that over and over again doesn't help except to make me think cool next time we meet and you ask how I am I'll censor myself. Some days I'm okay and normal, maybe even fun to be around. Other days I get why anyone would want to run. I know people want my hyper self than my more recurrent morose self offline so I play the part. I play the part and I don't tell them how I feel or am.

If my randomness and "negativity" is grating then tell me honestly and I'll refrain from it. I'll keep it back. I know I just sprout a lot here, pretty much the equivalant of talking to myself some days lol 😆but I know when I get too much too. So I know that sometimes you got to quit being so much because people come to escape here and if they keep finding someone negative they aren't going to stick around. I say this firmly because of experience. But hey, some personality traits you can't change so easily so you end up trying to live with it the best you can.

With all that being said I think it's fair to let you guys reading this know what I'm like. Odd and way too complicated for myself like every other person in this world. I deal with myself the best I can. I ought to stop terrorising other people though. There's one unlucky person who bears the brunt of my oddity and he's an absolutely wonderful person. I am really fortunate to have met him and received sage advice. He's like a mentor to me and I value having his guidance in my life like I value all the people I interact with. I don't really talk to many people offline. I write more than I talk in a day but I know that every person I have met who has been kind to me, considerate, given me company and had good times with is a person I wish is blessed greatly. Thank you to all those people and I hope one day I am a better person than this sorry self of mine at the moment. Now better go else I'll get in trouble lol. I'll be back later as always for more. Ciao

feeling much better today.

110/200 updates backed up so I should not be too far from getting the rest backed up soon.

I need to rethink about the computer issue. I can't buy an expensive new one nor can I build a particularly cheap one myself so I am going to have to buy a very cheap second hand laptop or tablet so that I can get my writing and editing done probably next month. Reality hit me last night regarding that particular fantasy.

Once DKJR is backed up I am going to start moving over to the new thread the new simple edited version of the story. then all the updates will be one after the other with no comments in between and it will look nice and uniform.

Also got to save my poems from the previous cc threads because I don't have them saved and they are literally some of the best if not only poems I have ever written. The future writing I will do I have no ideas about.

Last Treehouse??????? But why? I agree the activity is low and you feel low too, but then there is no need for this thread to be the last, is there? Unless, you plan to start a new thread with a new name, that would be fine, though I do love the Treehouse. 😳

It's the last because I'm leaving this site. My account will be disbanded and my ff deleted hopefully. I will back it all up.

Activity has never been an issue. I have. My moods here don't reflect what it's like behind the scenes. I need to sort that out. I have until I have saved all my work (end of the month) before the last goodbye. I don't particularly wish to return though I will miss everyone I met here and posting my work. I'll leave that open ended atm.

How about a basic wordpress website as a blog?
