Message + Last Daily Update

by flec, Sep 17, 2020, 6:42 PM

I know everything has been chaotic lately in TA, especially about me and PBC's breaks.
Before I take my break for real (this is my last week) I'm going to post my last daily update for awhile and a message.

I'll start with the message.
In my opinion, a forum equals members+equality. Yes, a forum leader matters, but a forum leader's real purpose is to let the members be able to handle the forum while their gone. Their purpose is also to make their forum fun and fair. That's all.

It may be hard at first, but members are bound to get used to running the forum without a "leader." Honestly it's not like I'm the best leader in the world or the most active. I have 9K posts, while a great leader like Blueclay has 32K. I am the only admin, while some other forum members have like 10 others.

I'm not the best. I'm not the most active, the most kind, or the fairest. I just see myself as a normal, selfish person who just created a forum. Never expected it to be so "popular" but it was. Without a normal selfish person "ruling" over the forum TA will rise instead of fall. Just because one person leaves doesn't mean the whole forum crumbles in a matter of seconds.

So this is my message. And what I'm trying to say here is, "you don't need me, you'll be all right."

--Daily Update--

School started about a week ago for me, and I'm very busy. Obviously I have almost no spare time for AoPS, especially after my mother restricted my time to 40 minutes a day for Alcumus. School is nothing here for me to talk about especially because it's so boring...

Piano. This is my favorite thing to do in my spare time. I've started playing my favorite song, River Flows In You. I never played it because it was emotionally painful for me to even hear that song. It's hard for me to talk about why... I just heard the song after a sad moment of mine. But finally I decided to play it, because no matter how much it hurts me I love the song so much. I might post the recording of me playing it in my YouTube channel.

So everything has been going alright. Yes I am not feeling my best but as MLK says, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

Thanks for reading.
See you soon.

i really think flec needs a break from the arcade
although i don't think i've ever made a post there, its just a lot of work to be a leader of a forum. flec has been the leader of the arcade for a long time, and I don't know how long she has kept this up lol. i was literally only admin on the bingo forum about maybe 2 months before it died? idk, but I was already getting really tired of helping to manage the forum. even though i wasn't the one doing all the work, it was just a lot for me. I can't even imagine how i would be the leader of a forum during school
so, just give flec a break :)

omg river flows in me is such a good song!
