Goodbye, I may have never met you but I truly considered you one of my friends. I know it might hurt but I believe this is a brave decision and possibly the best one. We won't forget you. Your legacy on OTF will be actively preserved even if you aren't active. Thanks for the laughs. You were a G and still are.
One final "keek", from basix.
Sort:
You're leaving?? 😭😭 Who's gonna hold otf together now??
Basix is a victim of his own success... he has nothing more to achieve. Keep in touch mate 🫡 it'd been a pleasure and an honour
NOOOOOOO I CANT EVEN READ IT ALL CUZ THE APP SUCKS

Wtf? They hate it when I say it but it's fine for you? What is going on?!
For the illiterates and the ones who don’t want to read the longest post ever, I’m leaving chess.com. Or, I’m going to try my best to. I’ll explain why, and tell my entire life story in the process. Keek!
If you guys didn’t know, I’ve been here for around two years, as I joined in the summer of 2023. I started posting in threads, and slowly but surely, making friends and trying desperately not to be too annoying. I posted on threads like truth or dare, and made some great friends, and arguably had the most fun back then. After coming back a bit after this, I made some new friends and participated in different threads. I met my dearest BasixWhiteGirl, along with other legends. And now, I have the largest thread on the site, 400-something friends, and I have truly enjoyed myself here. Over my almost two years here, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed making threads, messaging all of you, and having a laugh in various threads. OTF has allowed my humor and creativity to shine more than I thought they ever could. Throughout these fun times, OTF has taught me so much that can somehow be applied to my real life. And I’ve been successful with a good relationship, friends, school has been fine, and I have a lot of time for all of you.
But still, there are reasons to leave. OTF, believe it or not, is a waste of time. While chatting with all of you and being well-known is very nice, I now have an addiction to the site, whether I choose to admit it or not. I should make more time for more important things, rather than spending so many hours per day on the forums. I should probably also have more focus on my schoolwork, unfortunately, since my grades are slipping, and I’m using OTF instead of listening in on lessons. I cannot continue cheating my way through life, and pay attention and get rewarded for doing so. I need to focus on other things, like I said. My relationship, track, school, working out, and other things. The point is that I could be much more productive if my time here didn’t exist or was very, very limited. Plus, OTF is becoming much more spammy and filled with no discussions worth taking place in. It’s kind of weird feeling so mature, and I feel like this is a ticket to leave for me. After becoming the owner of the largest thread with OTFDAN, I feel like there is nothing more I can do to be remembered here. And as the quality of OTF continues to degrade, it feels like there’s no reason to stay. It seems that my dearest Hazel won’t be messaging back anytime soon, which is a main reason I check in every day. Almost all of my besties have already left by now, or are just very inactive, or switching to clubs because they’ve simply outgrown the forums section. And I think I’m next.
But… maybe this isn’t goodbye. I won’t close my account, and I’ll probably lurk around and answer DMs occasionally. I find that it will be nearly impossible to completely leave, since I’ve dedicated so much time to making friends and have made so many precious memories here over time. Still, I’m going to try my best, and I think this is my best chance to finally leave this place behind. I know by now you’re probably cry-creaming, thinking about me leaving, but this will be good for me. Whenever anyone leaves, it’s the best thing for them, no matter how sad it is. I know that you guys will probably post some kind words, and that means the world to me, truly.
That’s all, darlings. If you want, I’ll be around on Discord and DMs, but not as much. Thank you all so much for everything. Your conversations, the silly threads, and everything. It makes me sad to say goodbye, but I also know that it’s necessary. I may drop by occasionally, but I’ll try not to. Oh, and keep OTFDAN active and continue to preach about Ari for me.
Oh, and one more thing.
Keek!
April Fools!
