First, welcome to the insanity, Im sad that this is where your first post is. Go check out the thread for quotes or the "addicted to FIRST" one

I really hope the community can change what is going on, or else I'm not sure if I really want to keep doing this.

Dont give up on FIRST. Its a good program, and its heart is in the right place, even if they are going about it in a way that upsets people. The program overall and the people in it wont change based on a change to Worlds. Its an evolving program, and the first of its kind and of this scale. There are things that need to be figured out, and this is on the list of things.
