Alright, well it was a long time ago so some details will be missing, like who of the staff started that site. I really have no idea, i can't even remember if Acid was or wasn't involved. That sounds so wrong if one doesn't know that was a persons screen name. Never the less, they were a mod that managed to get a lot of uni3 members to join the website.

The website was a 'spiritual' forum, to put it loosely. They had members list what they could do, or know how to do, then said that any spiritual trait could be taught. This would have been fine if it didn't include things that cannot be taught, like how to become an empath, gain bonds with certain elements to allow pull over the said element, ect... As someone who is a seer(gets visions of different things) and an elemental sensitive(another thing that cannot be taught, as it is an old outdated evolutionary trait that has for the most part been squeezed out, seeing as it is terrible for modern ages, very very terrible.)

To make it worse, they started classes on this website. This wouldn't be bad if not for one issue, anyone not in the classes was immediately looked down upon as someone who knows less. This means students who took one or two classes were encouraged to look down on experts that didn't feel like taking any of the classes and assume that they are not actually experts. All of these things added up, it made the website naturally competitive. Competitive is healthy for a lot of things, but not for something that requires a lot of patience or understanding. It's like approaching meditation by getting loud and aggressive. It gets in the way of progress and makes very little sense to do in the first place. People started arguing, nitpicking, and the website started building up a ton of negative energy. Everyone who was a member and even slightly bit of an empath started avoiding the forum to avoid pain. While not an empath, emotional energy creates elemental energy.

It was a giant mess of negative chaotic and aggressive energy, smelling a bit like embers, ash, like a dry fog that held some form of thick dry humidity. The smell description seems to also have a bit of feel description, but yeah. Being on the site at all made me feel sick, dazed, and gave me a headache. Myself and another person tried to plead with the mods to change things, also explained why they should and how it was currently effecting certain members. We both got ban threats. So, we posted a thread and started going all out, probably because both of us were getting hurt by the forums energy. This meant we didn't have time to be patient and do things through a slow PM process anymore. In the end, we both lost the battle simply because we could not last long enough to finish things.

Less then a week later though, the forum closed up completely, promising to open again in the future. It never did. Me and the other person in the group to try to figure out what was up in uni3, being the two that fought in the other forum, had learned a hard lesson through that spiritual site. If you can, try to do everything site related over PMs, try not to let a single thought leak in the forums. Even one single leak could be translated as one trying to be a trouble maker that needs to be threatened. Now that I look at it with more distance though, I think the real lesson is that it was a big unsavable mess that we should have just given up on. It wasn't a good example to use to help on the approach on how to help uni3 become more active, or how to find the problem.

For some reason sharing that made me feel better o-o
