> You can consider yourself relieved.
Wow, I'm sorry if I pushed you over the edge on this decision. That doesn't make me relieved at all. I didn't intend to make you want to quit, and I was going to say to you in that thread what I'm to say now:
I frequent a subreddit where our motto is "This is supposed to be fun. If it's not fun right now and is pissing you off, you should take a break for a little while." Sometimes it's good to leave for a while and take some time off, but if you truly are passionate about this stuff, you'll want to come back later on with a fresh view and calm mind on things. Burning bridges is not a good way to leave because it locks off your chances of coming back if you really want to and it leaves a lot of people pissed off behind you.
And honestly, when you're on the internet, things don't tend to die. There might be someone else out there who would be willing to take up the projects you leave behind or try to delete behind you. Pulling that stuff down only results in it falling out of your control, in the end.
It fascinates me that the apparent problem with this community is that it is growing. That subreddit I frequent has a problem where its community is constantly dwindling, and elitism against the occasional random newcomer ("casuals") only causes things to get worse...
