But guys: the CB hasn't changed. Not at all! It is the same now as it was in July! 

Well, this is quite a different leaving post than Alexandra's. Yes, the rules of the CB have changed to accomodate more diversity, and it feels like a big change, and technically it is....but if you look around, it's really not all that different. However, I get the feeling that youve been feeling it's been changing for a while...even before the Issue...but ah me, I'm getting ahead of myself. You've already made your decision. We will respect you and your decision, just like the recent issue has proven that we respect each other and our differences.

So fare thee well, Vikki. We'll miss you too! You're really cool, and you're fun in RPs, and I hope your tears will dry and you will be happy. I'd hate for you to be leaving on a sad note. You deserve to be happy. So, positivity!

We will continue to change, it's true, but we'll never erase our past or forget you. Memories and friends are what we are built upon. You are and will continue to be part of that.

Love, Owlgirl 

Something I forgot to put in: Pretty much all of my CBFF's have left. I don't know many people anymore.

Also what is "the issue"?

It was a discussion about what kinds of characters are allowed on Chatterbox. Discussion went on for over a week but now has been ended.

Oh, goodbye Vikki. I'll miss you, and you won't be forgotten.

It's been wonderful having you.

Bye.

Bye, Vikki. I'll miss you so much. You've made me feel so welcome here, from my first RP charrie, which I made on your mouse thing. You are really nice and super friendly. I'm sorry you're leaving. Please drop in!

You are such an honest person, Vikki, and I'm glad you were able to tell us how you were feeling. How you are feeling. 

Change is as natural as the flow of a river. The river will beat against rock time after time until it crumbles.

But all is not lost: the gravel and sediment is washed along by the river and settled down in a new place, a new formation, and it is built up until it is twice as beautiful as before.

The thing we feel as "change" is that time of turbulence when the sediment is crumbling and then is washed along with the winding river. It's uncomfortable and sometimes sad. Nevertheless, something good and new and beautiful will be created in the end.

We were good and new and beautiful before, but then we grew stale, so the river came to helpfully nourish us. We will be good and new and beautiful again. And when the time comes, we will once again be whisked off into the turbulence of change.

Inevitably, some of the sediment will get lost along the way and settle on the bottom of the river. That's you, Vikki. It's also Cho, Daisy, Alexandra, and all the other people who have left or are still in the process of leaving. Just remember that you always have the potential to jump back into the river and travel along until you find our new formation.
