I just want to say something...

[☼ Sirenita ☼]

I just wanted to say something about the previous closed post. I didn't get the chance to express myself in the other post so I would like to answer here. If the mod feel to close this post too that’s ok.

About this reply:

Seems like this member left to help bring in more traffic to that other forum. It takes more than just some cool pictures of your collection to make a successful forum…

I just want to make something clear. The "other forum" is part of my website mylittlemermaid.com. The only reason I created that forum was to post new stuff I found around the internet. It is intended to be a complementary area of my website, kind of a blog. I never wanted to be a "successful forum" or a "competition" of this one. I just don't care about traffic or any of that, I just want to have my own place to write and post pretty pictures that I have. If I get a reply then cool! and if I don't well that's ok too.

I can only believe that Patricia had her reasons to leave this forum. If you think that she did it in order to be in the collectors forum to help bring traffic well, that's just plain wrong. Have anyone seen the numbers of visitors I get on that forum? I was surprised too to see all her pics gone. I told her about the "collector’s forum" and that she was more than welcome to post her pics in there if she wanted.

I don't post here as often as I would like and I don't update and post on my sites as often as I should. So please, really, don't feel threaten by a small site and its forum which are practically some pictures of my room and some random TLM pictures.

With all that said, a big hug to everyone and thanks for everything.

From talking to zeppo personally and I'm sure they can say the same for themselves, they had no mean intention in what they said and it really was just some general observation and not a personal attack in the least bit.

I really think someones random comment that meant absolutely nothing got turned into some huge issue. No one on this site I feel is mean or is someone who wants to cause problems or trouble for anyone.

I don't want anyone to feel they have to defend themselves in this at all. It's a simple misunderstanding that got immensely blown out of proportion. This forum is not trying to compete with anyone, and I know Sirenita feels the same about her forum. We cannot say the same for other peoples because of course there will always be people trying to one up you, thats probably why zeppo thought that.

This all being said again. I hope we can move past this issue and realize that no one was trying to be hurtful here. This really isn't something we should be worrying about anyways it's a member of a forum who is no longer here. We do not know why this happened and we may never know.

If anyone wants to reply to this feel free, but lets try to take this into a positive direction now. I no longer wanter to hear about how this member left because of people were rude here, because there no evidence of it. Again, if someone feels someone has been rude please contact an Admin and WE can deal with those issues. Thats why we're here to do the tough stuff , so you all can have a fun peaceful time here.

I hope this solves everything and everyone can go on with things swimmingly

Velvet, please don't feel like you have to justify yourself! We love you and your website is completely amazing. I'm really grateful that you stayed with us as a staff member even now that you have your own forum. I really don't understand what the shell went on with those pictures, because the thread is still there and I can't find any rude comments. But anyway, your forum is probably the best place for that collection, seeing as you focus on the merchandise, while LAF is more about discussing all the different aspects of TLM. Big hug back!
