Basically, I'm sort of retiring from bot making.

The landscape for JAI doesn't seem stable, and I'm sure this whole site is going to collapse in on itself before 2027 is here. I was there for the downfall of Yodayo, and Janitor is looking pretty similar at the moment and the staff here don't seem to be making anything better. First, it's nsfw image issues, and it's all downhill from there no matter how much the site mods try to assure us that these are insignificant changes.

This has killed most of my motivation to make new bots. I love to see the resilience of other creators on this site, but between work and real life responsibilities and my other hobbies, bot making has been put way on the back burner for me and it shows (So many people are creating such well made characters ;-;) My skills and willingness to dump my artistic expression into a bot nowadays makes me feel a bit uncomfortable posting my own, especially in the face of such discourse in the community.

My current bots will remain up, and I enjoy the little interaction they get even today. You might see me around in the comments of other people's bots. Probably saying some insane thing before people reply with "omg, gordan house" or something, but for now or until something changes with Janitorai, this is the end of the road for me, yall.
