What Went Wrong...?

This is a RANT. If you can't handle it, then don't read this. This rant is only happening because of a journal I read last night.

Do NOT take this personally.

Hi. My name is pixiepearl. I came here about a year ago. Since then the winx community has become disfunctional, alot of great artists have left the DA domain, and I personally am ashamed.

Why ashamed? Is it because everyday I have to read a journal entry about art being disgracefully stolen?  Or maybe it's because there's always a spammer trying to annoy every user in this community. Or even the face that the latest bitch trend is TROLLING? I am personally ashamed that because of the disfunctio  on this website has everyone having to look out for thieves and trolls, spammers and just plain creeps. But what makes me more ashamed that I can say maybe 10, 20 users have left because of this. Even after a huge misunserstanding over the summer between some of the Starlets I considered leaving, the only thing stopping me is my Fidelix Girls. I wish I could say the same for the users that've left, but then i'd be lying.

Now mind you i'm not ashamed of any paticulars here, not at anyone as a matter of fact, i'm simply upset at how much crap this community has been through, and yes, we've risen on some standards, but we have sunken on others, and i'd love to start really trying to restore the balance.

It's really sad that the journal entry I read last night about moving the winx community to a different domain- it actually had me thinking, maybe keeping this account but moving to a completly new site to have to start all over, a crazy but good idea. But I told myself no because I would never leave this site, not because im lazy of re-submitting all my art there, but simply because I love this community. And i've never found greater internet besties than the ones i've found here. And that says alot, because i'm a loner.

So here's a challenge, and I dare the ENTIRE internet community to do this:

Lets fix some shit around here.

By this, I mean let's turn a new leaf for all of us here. It's a new year, 2013, and i'd love to change this amazing community of artists back to the way before, when it was more than a community, but an online FAMILY. And as corny as this sounds, i'm willing to try. Let's try forgive those thieves and trolls and offer them a chance to start anew, with a somewhat decent reputation we gave them. Let's end the drama and fights we may have had with other users and attemt a somewhat civil decency towards each other. Lets just start a new day from this point. I'm not asking for a certain change, but let's at least try.

It's 2013 people. A new year, and fresh start. Let's restore the peace and balance i've found on this domain a year ago. And even though i'm still a somewhat newbie because i've been on here for only a year, and I can name a few users who have been here for more then a couple years, and maybe I really don't know the DA Winx Community, but I want to make it a place where everyone is HAPPY, because I am a people pleaser (so i've been told), and I like happy people :3.
Me? I have beef with certain users that i'm going to make an attempt to end. End the drama, resove some issues, attempt to fix some friendships.

So THERE. A fresh start. Sound good to you?
Hi. My name is pixiepearl. I am a fan of the winx club and a hobbyist artist. And you are?


P.S. Could people pass this journal entry along? I'm bound to get some negative responses, but I
really want the whole community in this new start, not just my watchers. To pass it along, please paste this to as many user's pages as possible: pixiepearl.deviantart.com/jour… Will you pass this along? (Please- this is a really important campaign, NOT a spammer).


Thank you, and to the many brave users I KNOW are out there, I hope you'll help me in this effort to change this community for the better .
