Sorry gals, I had to drag you two here
Hey, so… I sobered up, which means my English grammar and spelling may have gone back to be decent… or at least bearable for your eyes
Before I begin, no, this is not a petition. INK was discontinued. It is no longer getting updates and there is nothing we can do about it. Now that this is out of the way, I will proceed with my crap.
What we will do here is express our love for INK without restrictions, and those diehard/hardcore fans who want to criticise Limelight (respectfully; no potty mouths, please) can freely do so, because last time I checked, the Limelight style is not a person with feelings, so yeah, posting an opinion about it, no matter how much criticism it may contain, should not be a reason for drama as long as it is posted in the right thread and not to provoke others.
If you like both styles, you are definitely welcome too. Some Limelight positivity every now and then is more than okay. Obviously, if you like both INK and Limelight and someone criticises a Limelight feature which you happen to like very much, you are completely free to say that you think that the feature in question is great or whatever, we are not going to eat you for that! I am not anti-Limelight (and I hope that no one else is; petty antis of any kind are scum!), I just prefer INK and have a hard time stomaching Limelight… and I want one thread where there is absolutely no INK negativity. Of course, no style is flawless, so, if you bring up something you consider a flaw to discuss it despite your undying love for INK, no problem either.
Bottom lines of this intro? Pointing out Limelight flaws is not a must. However, bear in mind that some of us may simply want to do that, and we simply can do that. What we will not do here is bash Limelight fans. Some of us may disagree with their opinions, but that is all. We will not insult anyone because of their preference in style. Got it? Cool.
Now, main point: most of you must be aware that there is an INK petition in the forums. Unfortunately, its purpose has been proven to be futile as time passed, so I tried to make it the “official INK thread”, but the title seems to occasionally attract negativity from some Limelight lovers, who always repeat themselves or quote one post by Liz which we had read countless times, and in all honesty, I am sick and tired of that.
So, without further ado, welcome to the official INK fan club! As I was saying before I started rambling, in this thread you can not only praise INK to your heart’s content and point out which Limelight features have disappointed you the most (you know, considering that Limelight is supposed to be an “upgrade” and many of us do not feel that), but also to share your thoughts and feelings about the subject, daydream about hidden assets which will never be released, recommend new INK stories to keep the style alive (if you do this, please, use “hide details” and do not share your story!) and even rant and complain… because yeah, given that the style was announced to have been discontinued not through a damn announcement, but via a private message that was sent to a group chat consisting of only four INK fans, yes, we certainly have the right to be upset. That was truly a low blow to us loyal fans and if you still want to whine about it here, go ahead.
Oh, and unlike in the petition, here you will be should be, if everything goes according to the plan allowed to do everything I just mentioned without being told things such as:
“MovE oN, LimeLiGHt iS thE fUtuRE”
“StAp wHiNinG, itS nOt gOnNa haPpEN”
“LiMeLigHT is BEtteR!!1!1!!one!1!”
“inK iS sO bOrInG!!!1!”
“iNk SUckz nExt t0 LiMeLigTh n0w!1!1”
…Well, I am sure you get the idea
Ufff. That was a lot. Having said all that, feel free to gush about INK as much as you want now! And do not let the petition die either! Episode will not continue INK, but that thread, my friends, is symbolic
P.S: Hardcore Limelight fans, please, stay in your lane! I do not want INK negativity in this particular thread. There are plenty of INK-vs-Limelight discussion threads where you can criticise our baby without worrying about what any of us think. Let us have this.
