Leona's Open Letter

I thought this might be interesting to read as it is an "Open Statement" written 3 months ago by lilfae, AKA Leona, AKA iDoll or whatever is taking his pleasure this week.   He of course retracted all his words here when he rebecame a manager of the Adult Hub.  Have to say, in his clarity of mind, everything he says about the Adult Hub is true.

Dear everyone.

I have decided that this is a game I will not play any more. And this time, I am serious, no amount of talking will get me to return to this project you call 'The Adult Hubs'.

My reasons are fairly simple; Everyone claims they wish for it to succeed, but only a few, and I mean like, three, actually want that. The others are just 'yes men'. Those who want it to succeed, as long as they don't have to do anything.  Since day one, I have tried everything, to make them welcoming, friendly, and even keeled.  I did not have the skills to manage the central hub, but I did it, because they meant something to me.  They officially do not, any more.

They are a lag fest, filled with contradiction, and people who care only about what they can get from it. Be it money, or a place to socialise.  We've gone from being even-keeled, unbiased, giving both sides of a story, to everything in SL to better inform our clientele, to a U-turn, where, as long as we get people, it no longer matters what else goes on.  I really hate myself for saying this, but I believe Forceme was actually GOOD, for the Hubs. She had a terrible personality, but she got things done, and did so in spite of others. And very often, on her own. I now know how that feels, and I actually feel sorry for her being gone.

You want this place to succeed, you need to take a long hard look at yourselves here. Because saying you want something, and taking steps to actually achieve it, are two different things.  And most of you lack that foresight.

For nearly a month, I've tried to get a website up, for you, all of you, to use. How many of you actually contributed? About 3, and of those, one is new to staff, I hope you don't burn him out, like you've burned me out, he deserves better too.

I will continue to work on this site, and I will continue to do so, in spite of the complete and utter lack of help you wish to provide.  I don't expect it to succeed on my own, but it's become apparent, that the only way it will ever even get off the ground, is if I do every little bit myself. 

If this letter jars the wrong people, and it's decided that I be fired. I will hand over the passwords to the site, and surrender it, unlike some, I believe what I do for the community stays there.  But you will not see me again in the continent after.

I wish you all luck in the future.

Leona. 
P.S. remove me from the estate managers lists. I will leave the group itself shortly after posting this.
