To be honest, as much as I'm glad the issue that was influencing my decision to retire has been resolved, I can't help but feel disappointed that krausfadr is choosing to stay. When I was writing my initial post, I thought I was standing up for my rights. But this thread has shown me, in a weird way, that these rules were put in place for a reason, yet I still think the staff's way of reaffirming them is a tad strange.
When I first heard of Kraus' situation on his originaltrilogy.com thread, I felt as though fanedit.org wouldn't be the right place for me. And surprisingly, after what we've been talking about this week, I still feel this way. It's weird, I know, but I'm just tired after almost two years of hardships coupled with the four years of struggling to get my projects off the ground to no avail.
I don't know about you, but I think I'm better off working on these things in my own time. Let's just hope 2022 will get off to a good start.
