I quit LEIA, which sucks. What sucks even more is that I didn’t even get so much as a goodbye or thank you from Lissa…and both her and Allie are posting on the forum as if nothing has happened, telling people to stop asking questions and move on and that our leaving is no big deal and even mocked some in their leaving threads.

I wish I didn’t still have some respect for Lissa and that I didn’t still feel loyal to the place because I think you as members deserve to know how we were all treated and who is really in charge of that forum, and I am this close to sharing everything.

All I will say is this, whichever mugs are drafted in to take our places (Aviegrace, Peter, Sheila, Lefty, Marianne and PB&J also quit and the others in still deciding) bare in mind that there is now a new person in charge of the forum - Lissa’s mother Allie - so you will be ‘working’ for a stranger and bare in mind said stranger will treat you like crap. Bare in mind also that the ‘new leia’ is all about bringing in new members and increasing activity so that money can be made, regardless of if the long standing members are kept happy or not.
Think twice before accepting any offer rather than just saying yes because you think it will be ‘cool’.

Don’t worry about it, that forum always was kinda turd in my opinion, more important things to worry about in life that silly internet arguments and bitching and bickering. With no moderators and an increasingly sucky reputation I’d say this is the beginning of the end of that place and it’s not too soon either.

Starlet I wouldn’t let it bug our brains any longer. Cause they don’t care and they won’t tell the truth about what happen….just make it look like we were in the wrong. They’re just power hungry anymore anyway.

Nah of course she makes money from it, don’t be so naive. Do you think anyone does things for free? If so then you need to wake up and listen to the music. That forums a joke and now the main moderators are gone its just gonna die off real quick, it’s funny how quickly these forums can become graveyards when the admins get greedy and power hungry.

So what if she’s her sister? That PROVES she’s out to make money if her sister has to lurk around other peoples sites defending her all the time and posting lies, how pathetic. I wonder if she pays her sister a small % of the $$$ hmmm……

What kinda person has people moderate their forum out of their own kindness and then stab them in the back when things don’t work out, loser forum ran by money hungry teens trying to make a living sat on their asses instead of working like everyone else.

Well, since she has now posted it herself on the forum I guess the secret is out (a secret even we were only trusted with a few days ago). Allie is Lissa’s mother, and Lissa unfortunately either doesn’t want to or won’t stand up to her.

Ah - Starlet - I don’t think you will know how upset I am that you all are leaving. I am going to try my best and fight anything that will put down your names. No matter what they say I would never think they ya’ll did anything wrong. This whole situation just kills me.

And I know you know that even though some people act like they do not care for the work you have done - all of the members of LEIA appreciate you so much. All of the mods. Hopefully one day it will return to a place you can come back to. I really hope you will come back sometime :(

I don’t know how many times I can say this, but: THIS SUCKS.

I’ve already said my words on this matter so many times, so I’ll save it…

This whole “new LEIA” thing sounds like a ciggarette company. They use the old members, screw them over, and don’t give a damn about them as long as they get paid for the new people being pulled iin.

“Just thought I’d let you know that Lissa makes NO MONEY whatsoever off of the forum, since that seems to be one of your main concerns.”

I thought I read an article that said she was able to buy a car from the money? Seriously, I may be mistaken since that was so long ago… Or wait, maybe she doesn’t make money off the forum, just the site itself? Either way, money is made off of that domain, and that seems to be the important thing now.

Yeesh, I wasn’t trying to be rude. I was just saying that my sister doesn’t make any money off of her forum. She does, however, make money off of her domain. No need to pounce all over me. This is public website, and I’m allowed to come here if I’d like, Rommel. I’ve known starlet since she came to the forum, and although I wasn’t ever very close to her, I have just as much right to come here and comment as you do.

I hope you do stay as a regular starlet, you weren’t ever rude to me or any other members. Have a happy holiday :)

It’s hard to keep track of all of the threads, when I’ve just had to defend myself all over the place - I’m also sorry you think that you were taken for granted, I’ve posted many times that I will miss you all, and like I said, it is hard to keep track of all these darn threads concerning the subject! I haven’t tried to hide anything, I just thought it would be the easiest thing to do to work it out in the private forum, and then let everyone know what happened. I am really sorry to see you go, you have (obviously) contributed so much to the forum But like Rommell said up there, internet arguments are so dumb :D And, like Sarah said, I only make any money off of the main site, not the forum, and the forum is what I spend all of my time on, because I love and respect the forum members and moderators so much. I’m sorry that all of this had to happen, I guess there were some things building up at the time and everyone had to get their feelings out. Have a good Christmas, and New Year’s, and everything :)

Lissa your response to my post in the private forum saying I was leaving was what annoyed me, you can’t use ‘I was dealing with it in private’ as an excuse because you really weren’t, you had ignored everything we were saying for days and infact you were an outright bitch to me.

It really isn’t hard to keep up with who left and who didn’t, as we all expessly told you if we were leaving or not and it would have been so easy to post ‘Ok thanks for everything, bye’ there rather than just ignore or say something like what you said to me.

I don’t know who Rommel is by the way, just incase you think he’s my best buddy or something lol

Wow, obviously having not been a regular at LEIA in a long, long time I had no idea things were… not what they should be. It’s really the end of an era then if you guys have all left. What a shame - I remember when you were first made a mod there! - that forum gave me a lot of happy times when I was there and I’m sorry to hear that it’s not such a cosy community anymore.

Well I hope you don’t let things get you down too much. Have a lovely festive season anyway x
