Raven-Symone doesn't love me, therefore I am taking my toys and going home!!!1!1!
To some people, Raven-Symone will always be the cute little toddler from The Cosby Show. To others, she'll always be remembered as the psychic comedienne on the Disney Channel hit, That's So Raven, or perhaps the best-known founding member of the girl group, The Cheetah Girls.

To Derrick, an adult man who is the founder and maintainer of the huge, years-old fan site Raven-Symone.org, she is a constant source of disappointment, and he's had enough.

You see, Derrick is extremely butthurt that Raven didn't do more to promote her last album. Blaming Raven personally for the behavior of: her record label, her management, her web designer (seriously), her publicist and even her record-buying audience, Derrick has decided to shut down his site, but not before tl;dr-ing about why Raven sucks.

The time has come for me to personally close the site. We were at the top of our game and I cannot be more happy with the way the site had gone. The members were all so loyal.

However I made the decision to close the site based on this past year. This was supposed to be the best year for Raven professionally and she wasted it!

The movie did great, she promoted I couldn't have been happier, I got to meet her and even though she was very standoffish it completed my goal of wanting to meet her.

The whole album deal just infuriates me! She had a great album and she refused to do anything with it. She ended up selling only 4,400 copies!!!! That is a huge flop.

She did zero promotion and didn't acknowledge it on her OWN official website which showed little to no care for this album which is sad.

What just did it for me was her management team, we were told we would get an interview for the website 4 months ago... then it comes time for it and they decide we don't need it. Cause raven is so busy right? All the promotion we did online for years was nothing but free promotion for them.

I am done supporting someone who just doesn't care about her projects.
I wish all the fans well and as for me, I have finally moved on...

Emphasis mostly mine.

Most of the wank I've seen about this is in friends-only communities, but, between the comments on Perez Hilton ("I'm so glad Derrick decided to do something with his life instead of stalking this girl"/ many variations of "Bitch is NOT MILEY ENOUGH for this kind of diva attitude!") and the posting on ONTD, ("I've heard she's a bitch!"/ "You can't act all high-and-mighty and pretend to take the mature high-road when you've been the maintainer of a fansite for Raven Symone")... I'm confident there's still more than enough wank to go around.
