At the crossroads? Options

[Shiidou Hikaru]

There isn't any point in ignoring the catastrophe that deleted 13 months of posts from our little community here. So instead of worrying about getting them back, I'd like to get everyone together to talk about what we should do next. For the most part, I believe that everyone looks to me as the leader here, but that doesn't mean that I own everything and that this forum is special to everyone else too. Please write down and post your thoughts about what happened. No idea or feeling is too small or without meaning. Above all else we need to stick together and the best way to do that would just to let out all of our feelings about this event and try to support each other. If there is anything that should be done to try to improve the feeling of peace and safety here I would like to hear any ideas that you might have.

Yes, we did lose a lot posts, but not each other and that's what is really important. *Huggles everyone* I think that's kind of what Zagato-san was trying to say with that Gospel quote. Essentially it means that if you spend all of your time worrying about the past, you'll lose your future too. Even though we never got any of our posts back, we've probably already replaced half of what was deleted. So everyone is on the right track to make a bright future for our little community here. ^_^



Among the many posts that were deleted was an explanation of why I chose the title "Pillar of Cephiro" for myself. It is exactly how I view my relationship to the forum. Yes, I'm the Admin and founder of the forum, but I see my primary responsibility as that of a caregiver. Just like Princess Emeraude devoted herself to providing for the welfare of Cephiro, I try as much as I can to make the MKR forum a peaceful and enjoyable place to visit. This community is something that I care for very much, and that's why I was so hurt to see it get ruined by the hack attack. I know that ultimately I wasn't the one to blame for what happened, but I was willing to accept responsibility for the sake of everyone that I've come to love here. And it's something that I don't regret doing either. Ezboard Inc completely fell on their faces in their handling of the catastrophe, and if I had told everyone to look to them for responsibility, we all would have come away empty handed.
