Guys, it's no big deal. This is the reason I didn't want the whole thing to be discussed, because it just doesn't matter that much. This has nothing to do with anyone on the site. Like I said before, I'm not leaving the site, I just don't want to make games anymore. I didn't make a "goodbye" topic, I just had other things to take care of for a while. It's my choice to delete the games that I posted. They had their run on the site, and they're all still available from other places. I didn't delete them because of any bad ratings. I think my games did just fine- they were recommended by the admins, got good ratings on Klikcast, they were in the 2nd and 3rd spots in the top download list, not to mention getting a lot of donations on my site. None of the comments were that dramatic anyway. Me and my games have been treated well by the ol' DC.
But if you want me to give you a better reason for deleting my downloads, well ok- The rating system is being abused in my opinion, not on my games, but on many others. The only reason that my two games were in 2nd and 3rd place was because the other downloads that my games were competing with got trolled with 0-star ratings that dropped them off the charts. A game in 1st place from months of downloads could get sent to 8th place just because a site troll wants it that way. And the biggest problem that no one has noticed is that people can rate 0-stars, then delete their comment, making their vote anonymous. A 0-star vote still counts even when the comment is deleted. FIG got punked twice from the same person like this, and Morder Hund got tanked by an anonymous 0-star. So yes, in my opinion this site has been infested with a few site trolls that are abusing the ratings system, Adam not included because he at least gives 3-stars when he doesn't like something, even though he still counts as a mini-troll in my opinion because he likes to fight.
I'm going to write reviews again, which is still the best way to rate games on the site. My two games were taking up top spots because of a programming loophole in my opinion, and I felt it was time to make way for bigger and more deserving games.
And Adam, the things you're talking about happened months ago! You have to let stuff like that go after a while. I know it's hard for you to believe, but this really has nothing to do with you or the way you rated my game.
"Adam not included because he at least gives 3-stars when he doesn't like something,"
Another little swipe when you said you'd dropped that issue. Ill rate a game how I think it deserves to be rated, and fairly. I gave Iffermoon 3 stars and I had a good list of reasons to back up the rating, in which I also included some good points about the game.
"I know it's hard for you to believe, but this really has nothing to do with you or the way you rated my game."
I never claimed that you deleted the game over my rating, I was just using that as an example of what you can be like. Makes me laugh how you're a "happily retired clicker" yet you returned as soon as your name was mentioned
Adam, you need to get one of those little stress toys that you squeeze when you feel frustrated.
I still am a happily retired kliker. Like I said, I'm going to review games but not make them anymore. I need to make room for more important things in my life, and that's what I'm going to do.
You seem to have a lot more to say when you're not being put on the spot. I'll leave you alone then and give you time to plan out a better response, since you tend to like having the last word (it goes back to the whole control thing).
Hey man, I'm very proud of those things and very happy. If you can't understand that, then that doesn't make me mad at you, it makes me feel sorry for you.

...hey. Can we not resort to personal attacks? No one likes to read those, and no one can debate them either.
