The question was not to you troll.

Yeah okay whatever, says the one failing to troll me. But I shall not stoop down to your level. For someone who hates him SOOOOOO MUCH, why are you engaging with a troll. Just think about that for me 🙂 use your brain
 
I gotta go and do this thing adults call work, not sitting and crying on a public forum, see y’all in 10-11 hours 🙂

If you would know how to read you own stupid things you would see you are the one who started trolling my posts . I’m not gonna argue with a little boy about it though .
 
I will step up and apologize for the troll I had earlier today . It was reported and hopefully will not happen again .

The Tracy Chapman song is great but it's not the reason for this post.

I joined Girls Chat almost three years ago. I was 16, in high school, and was trying to find a place to talk to about feelings and things in my life that I couldn't talk about easily in the real world, and hope that maybe some others had been in my spot and could offer their experience, strength, and hope.

In that time, I've graduated. We've seen the weird world of Covid. I'm starting college in a few weeks. I've made some incredible connections with people all around the world. I've been able to open up about things a lot more, and so much of that comes from talking to other members who had been in the same place that I was. And now, I'm in a place where I can help others and try to pay forward being the friend that those previous ones were to me.

I liked that. And I still like that.

But over this time, I feel that the sense of community that first drew me here has dwindled. Our only moderator who fits into the targeted audience of Girls Chat (girls aged 13 to 17) was fired today because of her refusal to kowtow to a person who is a longtime and well-known problem on this site. That person, despite a history of questionable behavior was apologized to and-- while not given carte blanche to do as he pleases-- was given the freedom to roam openly. Maybe you should ask Neville Chamberlain how well appeasement works. You know deep down that he will return to his old ways soon enough.

We have had to be accepting of having males in a place that's really not designed for them. We have one essentially serving as the #2 in charge now even after being fired previously. His history of harassment is well-known. I have talked to many girls who no longer feel safe here because he has been given power once again. I am among them.

I truly feel that the new administrator is indifferent toward what we as members actually want and only wants what will consolidate her power and make her job easier. I feel the site's owner only sees us as walking dollar signs-- a way to boost advertising revenue even though it (fortunately) isn't used here, and as easy targets for VIP sales.

I have people here I truly care about. I enjoy talking to them. We've come to be a part of each other's lives even if only in a small way. I'm really going to miss them if I leave.

But we've all become fed up and disgusted by all of the actions over the last month. And it makes me want to pack up and head off into the sunset.

I'm not the only one either. Several have already left. Others are cutting back how often they're here. And with the latest appeasement, several more have decided they're about to be done as well. You are not only losing your target audience, you are actively driving them away with the poor decisions that have been made recently.

So, give me a reason. Why should I stay here? Why should I recommend this place to others?

Because right now, I don't have a good reason.

Leave and explore. If you are yearning to let go of this place, then do so, and see where life takes you. This place isn't going anywhere, and aside from trolls, Christina and a variety of incellous idiots, this place has a few decent people here for you, and they won't be going anywhere. Nothing has to be forever.
 
I think Chopper said I shouldn't make posts about lesbian chat mods and just message flame song directly so she can ignore complaints about her mods easier, that act like 16 year old girls
