Quotes

"Do not run, do not back down, face every issue and do not rest till you work it out with the people here." "Anarchy works wonderfully in a small group of individuals with a high level of trust, the ygo community is not such a group of people."

-Access

"No one here is worthless and we are going to prove that!"

-Trixie

"...you have a decision to make. 1. Let it go, move on, join the chat and live it up. 2. Confront the people and come to a positive resolution or 3. Simply don't come here. All 3 of those choices are yours. Coming here and being an asshole just because you can and you're still mad about what happened isn't one of them."
