I don't know if @BasixWhiteBoy is actually gonna leave or if he's gonna stay, but wether or not he leaves is up to him.. it is sad to see one of the most popular (idk at least that's the way I think it is) otf-er go, but we'll miss you Basix! I might've not known you for long and we haven't talked a lot but I'm sure you're a great person and member of the otf community!! It is really sad that otf has been less active and filled with boring threads lately and I truly hope that's only temporary and I hope someday when otf is a great place again you will come back! See you, or maybe not.. who knows (´；ω；｀)

But again this might be a joke since tmr is April first idk just making sure though 😼
Oft used to be great I used to enjoy being here
2-3 years ago I enjoyed oft. Now I don’t like it
the good part is that everyone is reacting reacting.
the bad part is that everyone is reacting.
A year ago, I made a goodbye thread, explaining that despite how great everyone was and how much fun I had, I was leaving. Fortunately for all of you, I decided to stay and make the community great again. Since I made that post a year ago, I created my own religion, won my third straight OTF election, made some more friends (and said goodbye to some), and created, in my eyes, some of the best posts this community saw in the last year.
I’ve been here for very close to three years now. In this time period, I can not remember a single day in which I didn’t log onto this site. Since the summer of 2023 when I was 13, I have actively posted for hours a day consistently. I’ve made thousands of friends, talked to so many great people, and have been happy to be in this obscure community. It’s been a true joy to message all of you, create threads, and be an active presence on this site.
Lately, though, OTF hasn’t been exactly… enjoyable. OTF is filled mostly with insufferable kids under the age of 14, who pollute the forums with spam and make the forums boring and repetitive. When I log on, all I see is the same slop and people. I’ve become more of a critical member, all because I do the bare minimum in creating (at least kind of) meaningful posts and don’t spam. Since I do that, I’m an outsider. OTF has been dominated by kids for a while now, but it is at a point where there is really not much fun at my age and maturity level to be had. There comes a point where you outgrow this community either by age or maturity, and I think I’ve surpassed both.
With that, I want to say a final goodbye to the OTF community. My time here has been fun, but I’ve recognized that being here is a complete waste of time and isn’t even very enjoyable. As my life gets busier with school, work, and other aspects, I see no reason to continue to keep up with this playground of a community. All there is to do daily is criticize others and their questionable posting decisions, and talk to my few true friends daily. I have simply outgrown this community, and I think it’s important to recognize that. I have done everything I could’ve dreamed of here — created the largest thread, made so many great threads, and been able to participate in discussions for years on end.
I will be leaving OTF and Discord in a few days. Please recognize that this is the best decision for me going forward. I appreciate all of the kind words in advance. Thank you all for the memories that I’ve been able to experience these last few years; I’ll never forget you guys. I will be around for the next few days to answer questions, say goodbyes, and tie up loose ends before departing. I would shout out to people, but the list is too long, and you probably know who you are anyway. Feel free to post here and say whatever you’d like to, whether love, hate, or whatever’s on your mind.
All (Well, most) of you are amazing individuals, and I wish you all the very best in your lives and in this community. I hope that you enjoy your time here, make friends, and are happy at all times. Please make sure to speak about Ari and stay swexy while I’m away. Who knows… I may just be back someday.
Oh, and one more thing.
Keek!
PS. Posting today was a not a coincidence… it’s for my amusement and for the reactions that are inevitable. Posting on this particular date felt like a silly way to finally free myself from this site, and to wrap up my ‘career’ here.
