Illumichat is my newest project - yes, another new IRC network. It's got several of the same staff members Serenity-IRC had, and several of the same channels. And none of the pettiness and power-hunger and abuse that characterized that network these past few months (at least on the staff side).
Change is good, or so they say. And I know this change will be for the better - I've been already much happier these past few days on Illumichat than I've been for months on Serenity-IRC.
But, I suck at letting go of things.
I'll stop crying soon, I promise. At least I know that when I stop, almost all my friends will be there, and we'll have once more a safe home.

[edit 2005-03-04: a slight clarification.
There was a lot of fighting on Serenity these past few months, which I avoided posting about while it was happening because I knew that, while emotional, I'd point at the people that hurt me and nothing more, while I've been at fault for some of the fighting as well.
After Illumichat split from Serenity, I thought I could post about this and keep it more neutral, especially given that I made this post after I quit - but I guess I expected too much of myself, thinking I could make a fair, coherent post while crying my eyes out. ^^;
I apologize if I've offended anybody with this post - it was not meant to do any finger-pointing or accusations, but merely to state that because the fighting was making it unpleasant for me to keep being there, I decided to quit and move on to start Illumichat, as did several others.
I have no grugde against anybody left on Serenity, and I honestly hope this split turns out for the better and helps heal the friendships there used to be between us all.]
