After a lot of consideration, I have decided to close down Serenity. It was becoming a place I didn't want it to be, the opposite of 'serenity'. We had quite a few members and we kept getting more applications, and that was a good thing! But there was drama every second week, people fighting and sending anonymous hate, and people offending others. It was draining trying to help resolve these problems..
On the brighter side of things, most of our members were kind, loving and caring people. I even saw people making new friends and getting into cute relationships, which made me more than happy. Towards the closure of Serenity, we got a new admin, Jui. He did an amazing job, and I'm thankful for the effort he put into helping make this place what it was. I thank each and every one of you for joining Serenity, I never expected it to become as popular as it did. Our record number of members was 62! To our current mmebers or ones that wanted to join, I suggest that you join Halcyon. It's a wonderful place.
If you have any questions, or something you want to say, you can message my personal blog below:
It seems I hit the ask limit halfway through the first masterlist, so I'll have to write this publicly for the members I couldn't message..
I'm sorry to inform you, but due to some recent and ongoing problems, I have decided to close down Serenity. I'm grateful that you decided to join us and I hope you enjoyed your stay with us. I wish you luck for the future!
As far as directories go, I’m a member of both serenity-rp and halcyonxrp and I don’t get how serenity has more members, I didn’t get a single welcome there. I prefer halcyon for it’s rules, social members and beautiful layout. I highly recommend this directory, keep up the good work.
To be completely honest, I agree with this confession. The reason that I created this directory was for people to feel like at home and make friends. In the rules it says that you must welcome our new members. That doesn't mean reblogging their welcome post and tagging 'welcome', as an example. I've seen many of our members do that, and that isn't what it says in the rules. It isn't difficult to message a simple hello to someone, is it? It saddens me as an admin and founder that someone feels this way. I want Serenity to be a social place, and the questionnaire event was my attempt of making our members social. Please, follow our rules and welcome our new members properly. I have been considering deactivating Serenity for this very reason, and if things don't improve then I certainly will. - Admin Shizuka
