Hi again everyone. It's nice to be back on this site, considering that my Backroom and Portfolio pages have been inaccessible for at least the past two days. XxArrancarFanxX only just let me know that those pages were back up a few minutes ago through email. I'm of course very relieved that the site seems to be fully operational again, but to me this incident has been just another example of how theO has been in a state of decay for quite some time now. I've started logging in less than I have in the past because I've been seeing a lack of updates in my Backroom.

The fact is theO has started to turn into something of an internet dive bar. We've got sketchy ads, moderators who are hardly ever here, and new users who're kind of on the creepy side. This site is not the thriving online community that it once was. I wish I knew of a good way to turn everything on theO around again. As things are though, I'm expecting one day visit this site and find that it's turned into an online t-shirt store or something like that. Something really needs to change here. Otherwise this community could simply disappear from the web completely.
