So one year ago it probably wasn't as scary of a night as tonight, I mean for one thing the aliens weren't landing on Lake Michigan, I swear the thunder is so loud. Anyways what I'm getting at here is that one year ago OpenVMK Forums opened. How do I know this? Because every freaking live stream they did Megan's proud achievement was signing up just minutes after it opened, and she would let you know about it (But in all honesty I really liked Megan a lot). But yeah the reason why this is a big deal to me is that basically this was the beginning of the longest storyline of my life, which sounds really weird! Like who knew a remake of a kids game would have this much drama!? If you want to know everything I recommend you read the link. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qTdpgcLUd-Hg6-FZzkVEju4x1aMlhbMNX6snlUNgnOM/edit?pli=1
But for now I will tell my story, and you may tell yours below if you have one. I joined on the 27th of June, 2013. Now I knew about OVMK since 2011 and I checked the OVMK site about once a month, so when I saw the forums open I was freaking out like for a couple of years this thing has gone on slowly and the only things I ever heard from Nick were on either the site itself or his Twitter, and he didn't update either much at all. Now remember he was the only one working on this for quite sometime, so I can understand why this took as long as it did. Now at first I loved it, the people were really nice and the staff (Even Grace) came off as being very good at their job. We would have live streams, vB shop, user made vB shop items, Grace even hosted a OVMK radio stream. It was a ton of fun! This was pretty much the only thing I did on the internet all summer, I was into this so much, my average posts per day was up to 20.something. So at this point it was August and I hadn't had much luck with the moderation apps that they put out there, and I understand considering I was one of the youngest members there. So it was last week of August, the game was opening September 7th, and shoutbox moderator apps were open and I was on a mission to become one of the two, and I DID!... For only about 10 days. You see IDK what Grace's game plan was but she failed to tell me that this wasn't going to last long due to the fact that they didn't need the shoutbox moderators past the game opening... For some reason. So one day one September the 10th, I believe I recived a PM from Grace. And on the day I was feeling pretty good considering I was getting into the groove of shoutbox moderating which is something I hadn't done before hand. She wasn't very clear as to why I was being removed all she really said was that since I was the last shoutbox moderator left (The other guy was gotten rid of like a week before for whatever reason) they were getting rid of the user group, and that if I had any other questions I may ask them. So being the unsure person that I was at the moment, I asked if I did anything wrong, to that she said she would have to get back to me about that. At this point I think it's all my fault like I wasn't doing good enough of a job. But then it dawned upon me that Grace was doing a lot of interesting things to other moderators as well. Like as they chose shoutbox moderators she also chose sectional moderators at the same time, and what happened to them? Well they were all gone in a week as well. Poor Jinx, she hasn't been a mod since! And then she brought in a lot of new people who she knew from real life (Or as I like to call the The Red Army, because the admin color was red, and it seemed that all they wanted what was best for them), so she came up with all these different kinds of groups like "The Server managers" which were three people, or "The CL managers" which were another three people, or "The Tech Managers"... Whoever they were. Also the Global Moderators were being replaced because the old ones were becoming in-game mods, and so she didn't want the forum mods and in-game mods the cross over, which I agree with, however the only problem I had with that was every single one of the new mods weren't there for more than a month before having the position granted to them. Most of all Amy was screwed out being the developer... Which is odd because she was the only one working on the game at the time, and they thought it was a grand idea to get rid of that one person and replace her with Grace's friends whom as you could see, weren't very good at all. So in those three days between me losing my mod spot and the game closing and MyVMK opening there was a lot of lash back from a lot of people, including me. I didn't feel very happy after being there for that whole time and defending Grace from those who saw the light a lot sooner than me. Then on Saturday night September 15th, 2013 OpenVMK closed or as they put it, they were on a "Few days hiatus" which would've been foolish for them to come back and go up against Amy.
But to end, I would love to thank all of my friends, you know who you are. They really kept me coming back, I was really close to leaving in mid September, so thank you so very much. I love all of you guys, you make this game special again for me again, and I know that a lot of you think this place is the worst and the people here are evil LOL! But at the end of the day I'd like to highlight how far we've came and how awesome you guys really are for sticking through all of the ********. didn't post this to trash anyone, not even Grace, but what I said is what really happened, and it was bad, but I'm glad we've moved on. I know now that I will never truly leave MyVMK, as long as I have an internet connection (And why wouldn't I, I'm The Internet Champion) and as long as MyVMK is still a thing I will never EVER offically leave, I love this place too much. Thank you for taking the time to read this, it means a lot.
