It's been a few days and I still haven't been taking it very well...I keep clicking on tabs that I have up, I don't want to delete them in case Midnight hopefully decides to reopen. I don't think I've ever taken the loss of a Petz site as hard as this before...I don't know what I'd do if we ever lost RKC.

I know it's like they say, "you don't know what you've got until it's gone". This is a loss, but thankfully we still have RKC. If there was ever news about RKC closing I would probably cry because this place is everything to the Petz community, and I've made so many fond memories here. Petz means a lot to me, and there being a dedicated online community for this special game still around is very sentimentally valuable to me and it makes the game way more fun. Let's pray this place is around forever <3

I've been thinking about it and the comparisons to RKC, and now I wonder if PUGS always had a fatal flaw in the way Midnight ran it on his own. I mean, he did an amazing job. I was always in awe of PUGS. But that's so, so much overwhelming work for one person, and he had, to my knowledge, basically no help! He had to manage everything on his own, take all the abuse on his own... at least here on RKC, we have an awesome team of mods who can work together to handle any issues and divide up problems. But Midnight had to shoulder it by himself.
Which, I know nothing about web design, so maybe there's a reason that wouldn't have been possible or that he didn't want to do it. And maybe I'm oversimplifying the issues when I don't have inside knowledge. I just remember thinking even when I first joined how crazy it was he did it all by himself, and I wonder if things might have been different if he didn't have to.
Anyone who knows better is free to correct me, I'm just playing armchair analyst in trying to cope here. My mind just keeps going bac to it, you know?

Very good point. I also have to wonder why he didn't just block/ban the people who were giving him a hard time and be done with that. If I was running the site that's what I'd do, lol xD (Heck, I already do that with my youtube channel.) They might get mad but there's not a lot they can do about it.
But still, everyone needs a break at some point and while I hope he'll reconsider eventually, I still support his decision even though it's been hard without PUGS. We'll always be here for support and aren't going anywhere!

From what I understand, people would come back and harass him for no good reason. He only set the system up; prices and whatnot were not his doing to my knowledge since we could set whatever price we wanted for credits. A bunch of idiots bullied him to the point of saying eff this, and that's pretty sad when someone is doing the community a FAVOUR and we collectively bite him in the butt :/

That's completely awful. I'd kind of love to know what makes some people so petty and cruel and so miserable that they're only happy when they're tormenting others, because I just can't wrap my head around it. I can't blame him at all for stepping away, and I hope it means he can start to feel better as a result. After all he did for the community, it's only fair that he puts himself first now.

The degree of my excitement at seeing that PUGS is back makes me realise how much I was still missing it! I've missed doing minesweeper and games over my morning coffee! Anyway... I loved stocking my shop and it's full of cuties again now:
Aaand I sold several already so smol restock:
(these three have SGCh. parents)
