An Important (And Final) Message From Your Admin
First, read IDOLiSH7’s newest policy update regarding fancontent, translations, and more here.
And now, an important (and final) message from your admin:
I created this blog on August 22nd, 2015, 2 days after the game launched, when I was 18 years old; I’m 23 now, and I’ve been running it, by myself, for the past 4 ½ years, so it is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that it’s time for me to say goodbye to ioriku.
Starting today, this blog will be password protected on desktop. The password will be ioriku. Simple and easy to remember, right? (This change won’t affect Tumblr app users who will still be able access this blog like normal.)
I never imagined ioriku would come to an end like this.
In the past, there were many, many times that I had considered abandoning this blog because it began to feel like an obligation to me rather than a hobby like it initially started as, but then, every so often, I’d get a lovely anon in my inbox telling me about how helpful I’ve been to them, how I’m their favorite I7 blog, etc, and I’d think that all the instances I wanted to tear my hair out trying to make sense of Google Translate and/or Jisho and all the late nights I spent editing my theme’s code to make it look Just Right for my desktop viewers were worth it because of that one, single person.
This new policy isn’t anything “new”, I’ve always known that I’ve been operating in a gray area, but for my own safety and out of respect for Bamco’s wishes, I’ve decided to shut down this blog.
ioriku will always hold a special place in my heart. I’ve met so, sooo many incredible people all over the world because of it, and I’d go back and do it all again if I had the choice.
Thank you for these past 4 ½ years guys—all 1,740 of you. You’ve been wonderful to me 💙❤️💙❤️💙
- Kelly (ioriku)
P.S. Since I don’t feel like I have to hide it anymore, my Twitter is @harucchu. You don’t have to follow me there, but since I don’t plan on being part of the i7 Discord/updating this blog anymore, you can find me on there if you need to contact me any further or just want to say hello.
