for starters, thank you to the many, many people who had sought out my website and enjoyed it. i owe you everything. second of all, because i feel the need to clarify, i am not in danger of hurting myself. this is in place to state a hiatus in which i...honestly don't know how long it'll last.
however, for now, i've wiped everything here. when i come back to it, i will be completely rehauling the website, and making it much smaller in return. i never had intentions for feelingmachine to become as known as it seems to be. if you had already known me before this and would like parts of it for your own personal, private use, please let me know. i have the site privately archived for now for this purpose. in addition, there's always archive.org i suppose?
but to those wondering why i've made this decision, it wasn't sudden, and i've been lurking on the idea for a few months, not answering emails, and it's very much personal, which the widespread internet kind of sees as lame now to be doing things because your life isn't going so well but honestly i don't really care about that sort of thing anymore. i've been trying to finish my degree, which is one doozy and a half due to some circumstances with a major switch two years back, as well as struggling with both some sort of financial woes and the current, sudden political climate. i've also been the witness of what the closest describer would be to domestic violence for at least the past year, and it's honestly not getting better. please understand that i am not wiping this site for some sort of shits n giggles feeling -- i need rest. i want a break so badly from my circumstances. i just need this off my back for now.
to those who worry of the webring -- unfortunately, i have no interest in running/restarting the two i took care of. i am looking for somebody to start a spiritual successor to the alterhuman webring at the moment, and if you would like to do so and already knew me beforehand (or knew me beforehand but know a guy who would like to), please let me know. as for the 2dlove webring, i feel like it's redundant at the moment, and you should go bug the yumering about that. endorsement, i suppose. if the yumering would not like this, also let me know and i'll take this part off of here.
again, thank you to the good times i was able to have here, but i just need to go into hibernation for a month or perhaps a few months until i pick things up again here.
from, nephro.
