After seeing Friz’s 기사 about leaving the community I decided I should once again put some effort into looking for Sonic 팬 Character creators who may be interested in joining our community. I would usually go to communities on 페이스북 but I decided to at least window-shop at DeviantArt for once seeing how it’s the most 인기 location.
I assumed it was all because 페이스북 isn’t known for communities as much. I assumed 팬팝 was simply too low-key and not well-known. Now that I’ve checked on DeviantArt, I’ve realized what’s actually happening… 또는 maybe I’m finally opening my eyes to something that was in front of me to begin with.
Our community getting smaller and smaller… the rate of which this has happened is a miracle. It isn’t just our group that’s getting smaller. I tried Sonic 팬 groups, normal Sonic groups, and went to areas I had previously visited. Many have been stalled, either dead 또는 on hiatus. These groups do not have the “limitations” of ours. They are worldly groups that do whatever, but they are inactive 또는 shrinking.
I can only assume this continuous decline is due to the failing quality of the Sonic Franchise. Sonic Boom was a gigantic flop, sending 팬 away 더 많이 than gaining them. Sonic 로스트 World in the main series had many faults, also driving away fans. People all around the world continue to bash the franchise and the fanbase constantly. The Archie Comics just went through a retcon and while some 팬 stuck around, it clearly had an effect on our numbers.
I realize how rare our community was. I found our layout to be the most specified to work with fandom in general. Most other groups I found rarely roleplayed if at all, and almost entirely focused on pictures. We all know that stories are rarely given attention. With our group we had roleplays all the time, 포럼 included. The stories were not given attention usually unfortunately, but it was active at the very least.
Unfortunately everything from our group to many others lacked the drive to stick to it; not in the sense of staying with the community, but seeing every even through. “Hey I made a contest. Who wants to join?” “Hey I’m making a comic” “Hey I’m making a game” “Hey, Art-trade” “Hey I’m 글쓰기 a story” “Hey I 게시됨 this new roleplay/forum”. Rarely were these things finished. I know of VERY few people that actually finished any of my roleplays personally, and I’m sure others feel the same.
Yes I had an impact on this community, but what about people like NumnumnYellow? She had the same religious mindset and she left. Her reason? Well the same as many others. They grew out of it. They got bored. It wasn’t amounting to anything.
That seems to be what is happening nowadays to everything. I don’t want to believe the Sonic Fanchise is dying, 또는 it’s fanbase, but I have found such a small amount of activity on the internet concerning fan-characters that it’s… depressing.
We can all start up as large groups, but those groups shrink, then break up, and become smaller groups, and those smaller groups DON’T mix. With each fall a percent (lets’ say 20%) of members go away. So let’s say 100 members start out. That turns into 80 which turns into 40 for two different groups. That’s already less than half. Then those groups lose 20% which is 8 members leaving two 더 많이 lesser groups from that making 12 for each group.
So what do 당신 want? To leave? If 당신 start anew I wish 당신 all the best of luck but this is not a good omen.
To those who’s minds are made up and want nothing 더 많이 to do with this, I understand. I will not attack 당신 for wanting to leave but I cannot help but feel upset that there are now less people to talk with.
To those who are willing to discuss what is right and wrong; what is required and what it is simply something being clung to regardless of it not being required, we can discuss.
To those who plan to stay here, the life of our community depends on you. I hate to say this but I am tired of pulling the weight from almost everything here.
This isn’t just our group, this is the Sonic Fandom.

Meh....
If 당신 didn't know, I'll break the sad(in my opinion)news. MephilesTheDark, an awesome artist and a close e-buddy to me, is leaving this spot. Sure I cried, but now...I'm getting kind of angry.
She mentioned this: "It's so damned with recolors...", along with other reasons that she knows herself.
I, now am slightly mad with recolorers. Yes, this issue is argued about constantly, and people just are tired of it. I'm tired of it too, so I'll let this go after a while. So don't expect me in the recolor "war" anytime soon.
But this is not a "PLZCOMEBACK!!!!" letter, that would be....well, stupid, to say the least. I just felt the need to say this. I can understand why she decided to leave, and will not 질문 any further.
...I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
