I've moved on from FlipAnim, guys. I'm declaring both my accounts officially dead. Or at least, extremely inactive. I joined when I entered high school, and I'm in college now. I figure it might be a nice place to end. To everyone who's supported me here, I have some words for you. I'm never gonna give you up. I hope I never let you down. I could've run around to desert you, but I'd never wish to make you cry, though I gotta say goodbye. I've told my share of lies and unfortunately have hurt some people, actions I wish I could take back. I've known this place for so long. My heart's been aching to get out of here, but I'm too shy to do it. But inside, we both know what's going on. I know what I'll do off this site, and I'm gonna do it. And if you ask me how I'm feeling, I just hope you'll understand. -Imanangrybird

My last post was a rant/dump about how FlipAnim just isn't good for me anymore. And now I'm doing another one of these dumb trends. I don't know how I feel about that.

I 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.

I 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.

I 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.
