Smiley Makers Popular Post Mike Posted January 15, 2018 Smiley Makers Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2018 This is my final post / thread on the xat community. I have 0 interest to be participating on the forum any longer and will not be paying attention / looking at any theads / making any new threads on here. My reason for abandoning forum is partly linked to my resignation / removal from volunteer. This thread is just here to make it clear that I will not be using the forum actively (or at all. Undecided) and that private messaging me on here will most likely just go ignored. If you need to contact me for whatever reason you can send me a private message on xat. Long story short, I have failed in my goal to fix xat, and to fix xat support. I failed due to the fact that what I believed could be achieved could not be put into effect simply due to the fact that bias exists. I'll cut it short there to prevent this topic derailing into "drama" territory. if any of you want to know the full story / reason for my resignation / removal from volunteer i'll be happy to discuss it with you privately. Ultimately I just want to say sorry to you all for failing you. I just wanted to help you, the community in the best way I could but that just isn't realistic anymore.

Advanced Members Bau Posted January 15, 2018 Advanced Members Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hello Mike, I do not know you, I do not know who you are, and you do not know who I am, but I know your intention was to help xat, you helped a lot, you do not have to apologize, we support you anyway. You have created very beautiful powers. You contributed to the forum and xat.com very much. Once again thank you for the beautiful powers, and all your help. Do not forget, it remains to talk about css background. (joke) I still use xat and forum very rare, but anyway I love to be present, as long as many people love us and we love many people! Take care of yourself. - I hope my message does not bother anyone here. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Christina Posted January 15, 2018 Advanced Members Share Posted January 15, 2018 We have been friends for so long. You are one of the handful that I consider a true friend. We reverse roles alot. But we always have the same goal. You were my hope and my inspiration for the better xat that we both dreamed of. I failed to get @Admin to see what they couldn't, or wouldn't, because of the bias nature. It's with true understanding that you know where my negativity comes from. Funny isn't it......considering I was use to being told I was optimistic, and it would be the end of me. There is always a new dream of tomorrow. But know this...you have not failed. You are an inspiration. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But bear in mind that Mike has been on xat since 2006 (or however long) and has given literal countless hours of his time to the site. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members adam_ Posted January 16, 2018 Advanced Members Share Posted January 16, 2018 If anything, you've succeeded. You may not have gotten the desired result in the end, but you've most certainly brought attention to the massive problem that's killing this website. It's up to @Admin if he's willing to listen to his users who have given years of their life and thousands of dollars to this website, or if he's just willing to sit around and let Discord and other competitors destroy his business. All it takes is one purge @Admin, and your website will re-transform. The old way doesn't work anymore, time is changing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Cryo Posted January 16, 2018 Advanced Members Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think this really proves that if there isn't a drastic change made soon by @Admin, then it's officially over for this website and there will be no chance for it to stay alive in the long-run; @Admin - either update us on your plans for the future moving forward, or straight out tell us that you don't care and that you're running your website into the ground. Any comment from you is better then silence. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be of the same opinion until I was made aware of their overall strategy for xat. Honestly I find it dangerously near-sighted and stupid. I gave my input, Mike asked everyone else to join, the thread ended up dying. At this point the only option left to you is to enjoy xat while it lasts because the admins will not make any significant changes to the current management system. Hence Mike giving up and leaving.

Don't want xat to die It's sad to see a lot of people giving up and/or turning a blind eye to the situation... Can't we turn it around somehow? Don't lose hope people. We've invested a lot of time in this site so Let's support it till we can !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, they had many opportunities to change and nothing was done and nothing will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members CarlosDesigns Posted February 17, 2018 Advanced Members Share Posted February 17, 2018 I saw this from a mile away. Not just Mike's leave, but everyone else's. It's clear that @Admin does not care. If he did, something would have happened a LONG time ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
