Video Game News & Reviews

I had just finished a comment in the social groups. I clicked the send button. It was taking a long time to load. I clicked it again. After that, this showed up.

I thought to myself, No. No, no, no. Or something like that, anyway.
I clicked the Favorites button that was assigned to it. The group didn't pop up. Instead, the groups list popped up.
No.
Ladies and gentlemen, as much as I didn't want it to happen, the Planetary Pit Stop is dead.

The backstory is quite simple, as least, as I can remember it. The Social Group Purge this is one of the two good things FFXIII has done for me is an event where the thousands - at least that much - of unnessicarry social groups were deleted, and some more rules regarding the social groups were put in place. If a group was to be deleted, it had to meet some criteria. There was only one that worried me, and even then, it was only a little worry. Later, however, jokool brought up a new list of criteria - and this one worried me. The third reason a group would be deleted (or Purged, if you prefer that term) was if it was a mini-forum-type thing.

The Pit Stop was a mini-forum-type thing. It had a place to vent, a place to discuss, a place to be random, a place to engage in combat, a place where special top-secret missions took place, a place where there was shipping, and other such stuff that I can't remember now.

Needless to say, there was freaking out. There was freaking out before the deadly criteria was put into place. A sister-type-group-thing was Purged just before, and the survivors fled to the Pit Stop.

I can't find any more to say about the incident, but I have to say this. Earlier, @jokool; a good friend of mine (at least, I think he is) said that this wasn't the end of the world. My reply to him was this.

If the Pit Stop does close down, it will be the end of the world. A world, at least. This world.
You must remember: the Pit Stop is a world. A world where we interact. Removing the Pit Stop removes this world, and any awesomeness that was here.

@Truthseeker4449;, a rival at the very least, said this should be engraved in stone or something like that. This is the closest I'll get.
But Marche/Lief, you may ask, why did you tell us this? I would answer, for two reasons, my friend/enemy/person I don't know and just asked me this because I don't know [pick the one that best suits you]. One, to honor my rival's wish as much as I could. And two, to let the admins know something. They destroyed a culture. They destroyed a way of life. They just pulled a Jenova, and you should look it up if you don't get it. Twice, at least.

But enough of that rant, I just want to say one more thing:
@Kurloz Makara;

They say save the best for last, and goddamnit, I saved the best for last. You are an awesome man. You created a planet when you made the Pit Stop. You gave me the main reason as to why I should stay on here, and the above message wouldn't have happened if you didn't create the Pit Stop. Then again, this whole blog post wouldn't have happened if you didn't make the Pit Stop, but whatever. Even if my plan to create a new Pit Stop forum comes into fruition, I don't think it'll be near as good as the original.

Welp, that's it. If you don't see me ever again, you'll know why.
