Chapter 5: My great absence [December 2009 - May 2010]It was someday in December. Somehow, my parents discovered LRC. They couldn't trust me (I was still pretty young) and I was grounded from the internet for 6 months. I thought LRC was over. However, Smitsy held down the fort. (Cali was inactive this time too) Everyone had speculations on where I had gone, some people thought I forgot about LRC, some had thought I died. But thanks to Smitsy and Sparkz, this place remained alive and well. GFXskill was also here during this time, but he left right before I came back. I remember messaging Smitsy on YT what happened in like March... and said that I would be back within a couple months (until my parents forgot about it). I don't know much about this time, if you guys want to add what happened then that's fine.
Zan registered during this time, and invited Speed Demon to LRC.
Chapter 6: Issues and... a reform? [May 2010 - September 2010]This time period marked the pinnacle of internal issues for LRC. Me and Cali were having issues with if he should actually be Admin. I demoted him (once again, immaturity) and he left. Bibleswords got really pissed at me controlling everything (like a dictator, promoting and demoting people as I please) and left also. She also got even more pissed when I promoted Cali again just so he'd be active.
But he's been a big help with the site.
From this I got a pretty bad rep. There was a movement by Smitsy for everyone to leave LRC and join
his site. But that fizzled out.
LRC once again flexed it's "come here, then you are stuck here" charisma. Hey, I'd do the same. I was pretty immature back then.
Then there was Speed Demon vs Smitsy. From the very beginning, the two seemed to rival each other. Speed Demon is absolutely (and probably still is) the most immature member on LRC. Waaay more immature than me, even back then. Smitsy was pretty mature and so was HITC. There was a lot of clashing.
This climaxed in Smitsy giving Speedy a 24 hour ban.
However, there was a silver lining to all of this. LRC was getting posts. And a lot of them. With all these members active, LRC flourished. But it wouldn't stay like this for long.
