Will you be my beloved? Will you help me to get through? Will you be my destruction? Will you help me to be through? xATL was crazy. Get well soon Davey <3 x
I was dreaming blood was seeping from my pores. Who'd believe that it was all my own decision? :::::::
I die in my daydreams. The gardens have all been overgrown. I pushed my hand through the thorns to crush the final rose. A deadly secret only I suffer to know.

Dear those of you left,
This was on musicsecret today.
To clarify before I start; this isn't mine. I don't know who made it.
Now I'm sure that, of the few people who still come here, there are some who are thinking "get the fuck over it".
I loved this place, I met some amazing people here. I set aside my free time every night to spend hours here discussing music, make-up, fanfiction (good AND bad), and everything under the sun with people who got it. People who cared and listened to what I had to say, and people who's text-based company I enjoyed more than my real-life friends at the time.
Then the original Davey-Havok.net became bigger, as did the boards. We ended with over 2000 members, some of whom were awesome, some of whom were annoying. There was a lot of e-drama, and occasionally things got out of hand. As a moderator I always prided myself and the rest of us for dealing with it fairly efficiently, without acting like the elitists you find on a lot of music boards.
In my view, Katie closed this because she felt that she had created a monster. Neither her nor Gabi condoned the Javey fandom, the screaming fangirls, the elitists and the off-topic crew.
I can understand it 100%. Looking back, it did get a bit much. But to me, until the younger members joined, this was a place where I could crack jokes about the band. I loved being a mod; I loved being such a huge part of the AFI community. And we were. Everybody knew what DH.Net was.
I don't care if you think I'm being lame. I know we have D1, and that's cool, but being a part of the AFI fanbase was part of what held us together. I really miss it. Two years on, and I still want my favourite board back.
