Alright I believe once again I have caught up on the timeline edits. I apologize once again for the long wait I intended to do this like 3 weeks ago but the day I was going to my computer just ****** died. It was just finally repaired (mostly replaced) and I was able to get this done again.
I however do have an announcement. I am stepping away from this timeline. I have not effectively been able to keep up on the editing as time went on here, when I started I had more time at work and even some on weekends. But as my business has grown and my daughter gotten older my time at work and home has become slimmer, some days I'm lucky if I'm able to get the episodes finished on the days they release haha. However it is more than that, I've quite frankly lost my love for this group. As many have pointed out its become toxic, now I have seen it growing for a while now and it's just become too much recently. I mean there have always just been some on here who frequently start **** and more often than not are too scared to end it without some cop out excuse as to why they're acting the way they are, but this place and discussing and debating the timeline here largely used to feel fun and more importantly safe even if sometimes **** could get a little heated. But for months now it has seemed like every few weeks it's some new drama. Keeping up with this thread has become a chore and for a while when I've gotten a notification from here I just sigh or roll my eyes. Jhed13 said a lot of ******** against me, as often as they could say it, it but one thing recently was partly true: I am the wrong person to be editing this timeline, at least now I am. When I took over from Lebnyx I was honestly the right person, I was so excited and honored to be part of this timeline, this fantastic effort from fans to build this incredible guide in a way only hardcore fans could. But I have truly come to dread checking the comments on here and admittedly recently I have not helped that and for that I am sorry. Part of me became fed up with the constant ******** and just petty aggressive nature of some here that I started pushing back, admittedly too hard and sometimes too long. The person who edits this timeline should be someone who is excited to be doing it, who is honored to be part of such an effort and that's just not me anymore. I know I recently said that I wouldn't leave and I am sorry I am going back on those words but I've put a lot of thought into this and it's past time for me to hand this timeline off to someone better suited for it in both their love for this group and it's effort but also in their ability to put up with the ******** that gets thrown the way of the editor just cause they take part in debates. For too long I've been worried to comment my thoughts on here because when I do, if I'm on the side that the majority vote as the way to go, I get told I'm "playing god", "being a dictator", "appealing to the masses" and even that as the editor I shouldn't get a vote (bet they wouldn't have said that if I voted for their opinion). This thread and editing the work here has lost its appeal and it's time for me to accept that this role that started out as such an exciting honor has become a tedious chore to get through and there is someone better suited for it.
It's time for me to step away and hand it off to them.
For whoever would like to take up this task, I've created a Gmail to hand over the documents needed for this:

I'm sorry I am letting everyone down here (except for the handful of people who are probably happy about this haha), but I'm especially sorry to Lebnyx who trusted me to handle this and took more than enough time to make sure I the details of editing it down. I hope whoever follows this timeline up and continues it is someone who truly cares about this place and won't loose that feeling.
