Plenty of people knew it was being implemented. It was discussed on the chat for weeks when I first introduced it. Kay can attest to this because she was the one who proposed such a system to me in the first place.

That said, my comings and goings have very little to do with the woes of this site. You all have an administration that, if I'm reading other comments elsewhere correctly, have been doing a fairly decent job. They are responsible for the state to of the site, not me, so I'd appreciate being left out of that.

Lastly, as has been pointed out, the apps are useless unless the administration really thinks people are incompetent enough to not know who they'd rather RP with. There is no point of an application system the way it is currently set up. The original point of the application policy was to settle an argument between two sides that wanted different things, but the substance of it was to get ideas approved that fit the Naruto universe.

Now the admins think they can tell users how to make these ideas, which ideas are "good enough" for them, and how to use these ideas once they're approved.

The whole system needs to be flushed down the toilet.
