THIS IS SO SO LONG BUT GUYS ILYSM 😭

It feels strange to write this.

I created this account on June 18, 2023, and when I made my first post, I never expected any of this to happen. Back then, JanitorAI was a very different place. It was smaller, quieter, and felt like a community where everyone somehow knew everyone. There weren’t endless pages of creators, thousands of new bots every day, or the level of popularity the site has today. It was simply a place where people shared ideas, characters, stories, and creativity because they enjoyed it.

Over the last almost three years, I’ve watched my account grow in ways I never imagined. Every follow, every comment, every person who enjoyed one of my bots meant more to me than I could ever properly explain.

I want to thank everyone who supported me throughout this journey.

Thank you to everyone who interacted with my bots, left kind comments, shared feedback, joined conversations, let me do free commissions fy guys, or simply stuck around. Some of my favorite memories came from doing commissions, spending time in servers, talking with people late into the night, brainstorming characters, laughing over silly ideas, and being part of a community that genuinely felt special.

I especially want to thank the people who stood by me during the difficult moments.

There were times when I was mocked, and made to feel unwelcome by creators 🫡 and users. There were moments when I questioned whether I even wanted to keep creating at all. During those times, some of you reached out, defended me, checked on me, encouraged me, and reminded me why I started creating in the first place. I don’t think you’ll ever fully realize how much that meant to me. Some of you helped me through periods that were far more difficult than you probably knew.

You made this place feel like more than just a website.

For that, I will always be grateful.

But as much as I love the memories, I’ve slowly come to realize something over the past months.

I don’t really enjoy writing bots anymore.

This isn’t because of drama, and it isn’t because of any specific person. It’s simply something I’ve noticed happening little by little.

There are so many amazing new creators now. So many talented, active people who constantly put out incredible work. The community has grown far beyond what it was when I started, which isn’t bad! I love to see it and honestly, I think that’s wonderful to see. There are creators who can do things I never could, who have more time, more energy, more ideas, and who genuinely deserve the attention they’re getting.

And somewhere along the way, my own life changed.

The person who started posting in 2023 is not the same person writing this today.

My priorities changed. My interests changed. My life changed.

I don’t spend much time on the website anymore. I’m rarely around as a user, and as a creator even less. The motivation that once came naturally just isn’t there anymore, and forcing myself to continue would only make things messy for both me and the people who follow my work.

So before it reaches that point, I’ve decided it’s time to step away.

This is my goodbye as a creator.

I won’t be posting new bots anymore.

Maybe you’ll still see me in the comments from time to time. Maybe I’ll quietly appear somewhere every now and then. And who knows, if I ever return to creating, it might even be under a completely different name.

But for now, this chapter is over.

I don’t want this post to be sad, though.

More than anything, I want it to be a thank you.

Thank you for every memory.

Thank you for helping a creator who started posting back in 2023 grow into someone who got to experience something truly fun in a community 🫰

No matter where life takes me next, I will always remember the early days of JanitorAI, the people I met, the friendships I made, and the community that gave me a place to belong for nearly three years.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Take care of yourselves, keep creating, keep supporting each other, and keep making this community special.

Goodbye, and thank you for everything. ❤️

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE 👏👏
