So long and thanks for all the fish!

Bound heart and soul to Loupgaros and Cloakable - my two wonderful, gorgeous mates!
It's been a long time coming, but I knew this would eventually happen.
For all the lovely people I have met and the fun I have had (Like meeting a wonderful woman and getting married!), the Furry Fandom just isn't what it was when I joined, and I'm just not having fun any more.
Now this isn't a total ragequit. I'm not crying "BAWWW I HAET FURREHZ!" and running screaming out the door. There are still loads of furs out there who are lovely people and I will be staying in touch with them regardless, and I do have a slot in the big chakat collab when that is completed, as well as a pony badge coming!
However, actively partaking in the community has grown stale. There's all sorts of rotten people making it no fun any more. I've been attacked for not being straight, not being available for real life yiff, being christian, being married, having a herm fursona, and my wife has been attacked for being a woman. Add to that the growing number of gynophobic furries - that is, those who hate women, and the massive backlash against bronies, despite this fandom saying it wants to be included and treated with respect, all the fun has gone out of being a furry for me. And when something isn't fun any more, what do you do? Stop doing it!
To that end, with the exception of discussing the last two commissions I am getting, mentioned above, this account is now effectively dead.
I shall leave my stories up for those who enjoyed them, but don't expect any more posts here. I am moving over to join many fellow bronies on Deviant Art. You can find me there at http://chakittymoon.deviantart.com
Those people who are most important to me are on my messengers already, or have my mobile number, and I will be keeping in touch. But Moonshadow as a furry is gone now.
It's been fun, but this is goodbye.
Long live Coaldust, the Earth Pony!

Be well

when you 1st joined everyone was so accepting and like family,
and the more you became involved you sooner learned that
there is gossip galore, shit-talking, and rampant rumors...
and many different flavors of haters
i'm at the same point, i've considered myself a "lifestyler" for many years,
but now i'm feelin its time to "grow up" and live a more "normal" life... mainly
for the same reason you're leaving, its not my own desire but the external stimuli
pushing me in that direction.
no matter what don't let anybody take away what you enjoy, art or otherwise...
stay cool, be easy, have fun~
