    In order to obtain a percentage that accurate... Wouldn't you need to have used at least 100 umbrellas? I think the most I've used is 5 or 6.
     
    Should I bring out the sarcasm sign? You may be in need.

    My commentary on this:
     
    -Most users from '12 are long gone and generally only lasted a few months to a year. Fuwanovel was quite small than, and after most users talked about all the topics that interested them, they left.
     
    - '13ers are split into two groups in my view: The '13ers from before August (or around that period) are different from the one who joined after August.
     
    -'13ers who joined before August are more similar to the '12ers in the sense that after a few months they left or significantly dropped their activity. This happened to me and to a lot of acquaintances I remember from back then. I'm different mostly in the fact that after a really long hiatus I actually came back (and became more active than ever). Back then discussions on Fuwanovel were mostly focused on detailed discussions of VNs and anime. Which was honestly fantastic while it lasted. But once most people had discussed everything they wanted to, they grew bored of Fuwanovel; and generally left. Keep in mind this was back during Aaeru's reign; and she was more concerned with fighting copyright than with fostering the community (in my view at least). And I think the flaky attitude in the community back then reflected that.
     
    -'13ers after August: This would probably be the first renaissance of Fuwanovel. This was when users like Nosebleed and Nohman joined, and also when Kaguya published his 50 translated VNs that you should read before you die. Fuwanovel was finally starting to build it's own community and wasn't simply a place solely for dedicated VN fans to discuss what they wanted to and then leave. This was a period when newcomers were coming and taking over the place, creating a new community. I honestly felt quite alienated during this time because a lot of people I remembered from earlier '13 were no longer active and most active users were new to me. Some people were even new to VNs! Which was crazy to me, since back in earlier '13 and '12 virtually nobody that was new to Fuwanovel was new to VNs. Most people who joined back then were already VN fans and just wanted a place to discuss them. Nonetheless, it was the new users from back then that helped shape Fuwanovel's community in a new direction. 
     
    -'14ers: The revolutionary direction that started with the community that was active during mid to late '13 was starting to really come into fruition I think. Honestly, I was absent for most of this year. I just know this was when OriginalRen started becoming really active, and he in particular helped built a sense of community. Again, I still felt alienated during this time (hence why I was absent for most of it). The new community was a community I really didn't feel much attachment to back then. I appreciated that Fuwanovel was growing and doing well, but I felt really lonely. At this point most members I was previously acquainted with were either long gone (most notably was Ryoji), or were promoted (Tay, Down, and I think Zaka (I think this was when he started becoming an important Fuwa blogger)). Honestly, back then OriginalRen's community podcasts only made me feel more out of place; because they served as a painful reminder that this was a new Fuwanovel, and that I was not a part of it.
     
    '15ers: The revolution of late '13 and '14 was over, and a new society was formed. With Tay as the stable leader, and Fuwanovel thriving; I returned. This was when I finally reintegrated myself back into the community. I don't know why, but for whatever reason I finally felt like a part of Fuwanovel again. I really liked the new community (and no longer felt threatened by it) and chose to participate in it. In fact, I like the community so much now, that I think I actually prefer it to what I had in early '13. And that's saying a lot, as I have some fond memories of back then.  
     
    Well, that's my commentary on the different years Fuwanovel has been around. The community has changed quite a bit, and that's my humble perspective on it.

    Yeah. Fuwanovel's a pretty awesome community.
    If it weren't, then why would we still be here in the first place?
    Not to mention all these dank memes.

    Confession: I secretly pulled the strings behind today's rulechange as one more step on my road to secretly turning Fuwa into a squeaky-clean forum that only discusses all-ages VNs full of wholesomeness. Tehe.
    After looking at the above linked VNDB pages the thought I came away with was 'I dunno, getting embraced by a giant starfish doesn't sound so bad'. I'm sure Fuuko would agree with me.

    Confession: The idea of giving guided walks scares the living shit out of me. *sigh* The things I do for money.

    Luckily, guided walks do not happen often... so there is a slim chance I might be able to get through without ever having to do one! I'll do some weird voodoo magic if that is what it takes to get out of it!

    Confession: I have decided for certain tonight... that I am finally going to go see somebody for my depression. I just can't do it on my own anymore. It was a lot more manageable in High School, ironically probably due to the very chemicals swirling in my head that made me feel all those angsty emotions.

    This is probably one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. Not going to lie. May not seem like it, but it was truly difficult for me to actually sit down and resolve myself. I just need to make sure I hold on to that resolve until tomorrow when I wake up so I actually go and book an apointment.
