Given the tone and content of the reaction to my recent rule regarding the content of chat, it's become clear that the DL as a whole does not agree with my views on what is appropriate and inappropriate, and is not willing to change or doesn't care enough to make it an issue either way.
This is fine; you certainly have the right to hold a different view than I do.
By the same token, I have the right to hold my views. Since I find the current content of the chat unacceptable by those views, I choose to remove myself from it, and as I don't participate much with the site itself aside from hosting it, from the DL as a whole. Effective immediately, I will no longer be performing any type of administrative or programming work for the RPGDL.
In addition, the site as currently hosted will be shut down in two weeks. This is the same notice that would be expected by any employer; this should give the group time to find a replacement, who's welcome to contact me for site backups and domain transfer to new hosting - I'm not going to hold the site hostage, but neither am I going to continue running it out of simple inertia. If this two week period passes without a new web admin, the site will be taken down and backups made that will be provided when the new admin is ready to use them.
This is not something I intend to change my mind about; I've had ample time to consider this decision. While there will be people here that I'll miss, I have neither the time nor the energy to enforce a decision that it's clear the majority doesn't support.
I wish you the best.
