Time was, I had a plan to come back to that place, Have them face the music of their stupidity, And all their insecurities. Time was, I wanted to make a difference, Now all I feel is indifference at all the mods and all the members, Who somehow can't remember just how great that place used to be. I wanted to come back and set the records straight, That all the lies, all the coverups and all the hate was down to just One Person
This one, neurotic, power hungry individual, Who would worm her way into your head in a manner so despicable, that all her deceit, All her fake insincere charm would do the worst harm, To an innocent community, and slowly, with impunity, she tore that place apart. Where did it all go wrong? Where did it start? That she should get into your head and in your heart and spin her web of lies, And build a nest, have everyone telling you "It's for the best" And "Don't ask questions", have everyone making suggestions, That you should blindly obey. Don't question it, don't ask why, don't have your say.
But for all my planning, all my passion, all my dedication, I doubt they will listen. I doubt it will make a difference, And hence, my current indifference at this situation.
I remember when I first joined, all those years ago, How I watched my knowledge grow, how I made new friends, How I expanded my mind with all the knowledge, Of hamster colours and genetics I could find. I remember when I would relish all the knowledge, And advice I could get to help my new found furry pet, When she was sick. How I'd stick with her for several days and nights, Trying to make things right, hoping something worked, Hoping something did the trick, That I could help her with this fight.
I remember when we could all share, Thoughts and opinions, discuss ideas, And millions of other little things. When everyone had freedom of speech, When everybody had a voice, When everyone was free to express, And had a choice how that voice was heard.
I remember when that place encouraged equality, When words were exchanged with honesty, where openness, And transparancy were the best policy. When there were no pseudo ranks and social classes, When the mods weren't trying to cover their own arses, Just because one of their own was some "famous YouTuber", Hell bent on some uber domination. As was everyone's interpretation.
Everyone started to question it, the mods tried to hide it, Flat out denied it. Posts would be edited, whole threads, Would be locked or hidden, no reason given. "Trust us", they would always say. They'd hide behind their "HH Moderator" account, Shamelessly working and taking no account of their actions, All the while painting this bogus face of friendliness, To the community, but they became a faceless entity, In the background, slithering away.
But how can we trust you when you work behind the scenes, And spread these lies? When you shout down and mod-lock anyone, That dares to wonder why? When you hide entire threads with no explanation, When you preach equality, yet practice discrimination.
It's a shame. Where once you had a great, bustling community, Now it's just a missed opportunity to get back, To being great. Where once you had a community of knowledge and learning, When people had a passion, had a yearning for real, Information about their favourite pet, And yet, Now it's all gone to waste.
It's a shame. Where once you had a chance to grow, How sad it is that you let it go so horribly wrong. So many now feel like they don't belong, this place they've called their home, For so long. But I write this knowing how happy I remain, At the friends I've kept, and the many more I've made, Along the way. The people who stood by me, Helped me have MY say.
So I won't be returning, I'm not sure I can give a toss. In any case it won't change anything, it'll be their loss, Not mine. They had their chance, and I tried to help in the past Now they're out of time. I wash my hands of it. I'm done.
