As a lurker and occasional discussion poster, I really like your writing and characters. Sure my opinion may not seem like much, but I would be upset if you left, especially if it wasn't of your own accord and was due to some people not appreciating you, whoever they may be.

kaz, I know we've had a bunch of conversations about this sort of thing already, and I've tried telling you time and time again that it would be a real shame if you left and that I want you to stick around and roleplay more. I know that you have concerns about staying at AFW, but this is no way to accomplish anything positive. It's not respectful to those of us who would like to think we're your friends, but more importantly, it's practically self-destructive, and it makes me legitimately really worried for you.

Leaving the site isn't a problem. Tatyina did it. Alexandra did it. I didn't like it when either of them left, but if you need to leave, you need to leave. But you shouldn't leave because you think people don't like you. We ALL like you. If you need to take a step back because you don't have the time or desire to roleplay, please do, and we'll all be ready to welcome you back when you return. There are dozens of members who want to roleplay with you and your characters, and I think you know that you aren't a bad roleplayer at all.

So, please, don't do this to yourself, and don't do this to us. Leave on a positive note if you have to. I'd rather you stayed. If you need to talk to anyone, you know where to find me.

Just to add to the good vibes, we've only ever collaborated once but I had a really good time when we did. You were easy to work with and had good ideas and I would love to do something with you again. That said, there are clearly people who know you much better than I do that like you a lot and it's not fair to them that you make a poll like this. If some people are being jerks to you or something, then take it up with them. Because if I had to guess, you have more people here who like you than not. And it's much easier to surround yourself with those kind of people rather than with people who don't like you.

I would hope that you don't decide to leave, but if you do try to remember the people who like you man.

Don't leave Kaz. You are well liked here and i enjoy reading your threads. I know we haven't had much interaction but i hope you don't leave.

You came to AFW to enjoy roleplays. The vast majority of us, me included, take enjoyment from both roleplaying with you and reading your posts in general, evident from how many people are posting their love here, how many rp's you've had etc etc. Don't let the opinions of less than a handful, or even if there was a majority, discourage your love of something.

That been said, if you no longer enjoy it here, you should leave solely of your own accord. But evidently, you will be missed.

If this IS a serious vote Kaz. Allow me to break down the results of the poll. 17-2. 89.5% of the site wants you to stay.

Because 17 People Voted for the third option:

"Option 3:

Val and I are going to beat you up if you try to leave so... let's stop this madness. What's the point of the poll if you won't accept facts and listen to what everyone here has to say. We like you and it would be a SHAME if you left. You put up the poll to have the community decide for you if you should stay or leave. The community answered so either listen, choose to be stubborn or leave the site for a legitimate reason (ie school, family, health, important life stuff). I don't know what triggered this but whatever happened or what was said, or who said it, it doesn't speak the truth or speak for all of us when it comes to our opinion of you.

We hold you in high esteem,

Love,

89.5% of AFW

I think you should stay even if we never had a roleplay as i know your one of the best on the site

Kaz, this isn't funny. You're a great guy and a great RPer and writer with some damn good characters on the site. If you want to leave, it should be YOUR decision, not because of what others think. If you want to stay because you want to then do it, don't let others get you down because anything bad they say towards you is invalid and unjustifiable.

And to the 8 people who actually voted on this poll, go fuck yourselves. I'm voting option 3.

Oath go ahead and add me to that third option. Kaz as I told you when you asked me before that you thought about leaving, I cant force you to stay but I personally do not want you to leave, and you certainly should not leave because there are a few assholes that are trying to ruin things for you here.


Also who the fuck actually voted in that. I need like 8 heads at my doorstep by today.

I would never vote in that. Option 3! We want you to stay!
