LinkI want to leave this site, I really do.
I just feel like I've done what I was set out to do here already.
I found this website because I needed an animation software for a school presentation, and even back then in 2017 people took notice of me. Why?
I think it was because of the persona I put on.
I think people back then saw me as this cool guy who was open about himself and just wanted to have fun.
I dont' know what people think of me now for sure, but if I had to guess...
I would guess people see me as some guy who's been on here since 2017 who expressed his hatred of many, many things. Primarily trends.
I used to have fun on here.
I used to animate on here.
I have met countless other people here, many of whom I've become close friends with. And yet, when I look back on my time on FlipAnim as a whole,
I think most of it is just filler, y'know?

LinkI think I peaked on here sometime from early to mid 2018. And by peak,
I mean like...
I was on top of my game, y'know?
I had tried to maintain at least one "big" animation per month. "Big" being defined as how much I experimented and tried to tell a little story.
I will most definitely remember the ones I did back then and earlier. Spicy Meatball, that Halloween submission, Pupil Doctor, Ball Throw, HSBF. Those are most definitely the ones that people remember me the most for.
I know it too because to this day, I'll sometimes be reminded of one of those. Whether it's from the feature row or someone sending me it, it's always nice to remember "Hey, I made that!" Then you got the dozens of garbage posts I've posted over the past almost four years.
I don't know how much people like those and whatnot, but I don't care. I just made them because I wanted to have fun. And I did.

LinkI look back on those cartoons fondly, even if they're trash, but when I look back on something more recent,
I can easily tell when I made it out of the fun of doing so and when I felt obligated to. The last post I had genuine fun with was probably my final post, Basically Ready Player One...or RPO: IAAB Edition, as I'd really like to rename it to. And even then, despite feeling obligated to make the rest of that book, I just stopped and haven't done anything with it since.
I saved the file and everything, I just don't want to make any more of it.
I just don't feel like it anymore.
I don't have fun on here anymore.
I want to leave.
I just feel too obligated to stay here because so many people on here are familiar with me.

LinkI want to join people like Randomperson, who left when she got bored and has rarely returned.
I want to join people like ShadowEyes, who basically never draws on here anymore.
I want to join people like FurryTrash, who left when they felt the time was right.
I have done what none of them did. I have done the one thing no other 2017 user has done, leave their account and rarely or never come back...okay, except maybe Nighteye.
I have seen dozens of other users come here, get big, and dip, most often because they got bored with this hellhole of a site.
I have seen this site at its high, and I have seen it at its low.
I have already done everything there is to do on FlipAnim, except what so many other people have done and have shown to be much happier because of it:
Leave.

Link(that last bit aint intended to be offensive, was mad)
Man I get what you mean, even though you want to leave the site and finally move on from it something just.....keeps you coming back. I do hope you’ll be able to do so soon though, no one should feel forced to stick around after they’ve done what they set out to do and it doesn’t bring them happiness anymore
thanks for the actual GENUINE COMMENT
yeah, i wanna ****ing leave but i cant
i just feel obligated to continue being here
meanwhile everyone i looked up to when starting out is long gone and im just left in the dust basically, a relic of the past, forgotten by many and shit
basically im michael collins but not dead
I feel that, I feel like what I’ve done on the website has been done, I’ve made my impact and it’s time to let new people shine. I’ve grown bored of this site, tired of all the drama and stuff. The only reason I don’t leave is because I have nowhere else to go and that this site if anything feels like home to me, even after all the shit and drama, it means a lot to me. The memories and friends I made here will always be held close to my heart, I’ve made and lost so many friends, I’ve met so many amazing people and had a lot of great memories, but I feel like it’s coming to an end.
