“Hi everyone. It’s me…The Admin.

Yes, it’s really me, and I’m sending a video email because by they time you receive this, Pr3pSF will be shut down like it never even existed.

I’m sure you’re shocked to know that it’s me, but it’s true. For those of you who don’t know me or don’t go to my school, which is Xavier, by the way, I’m Angela Parisi — you probably know my brother more than me, he’s quite the party guy. If I look familiar it’s probably because you’ve seen me around some place, but probably never really noticed me much.

Which is why I built Pr3pSF. Yup. I built it.

Are you shocked?

I’m really good at math, coding, all of the nerdy things. I built the site because I knew I could, and because I was really sick of being the eyes and ears of everything. I’m always around, I’m always hearing things, and no one ever thinks to bother to talk to me. People just think of me as Vin’s sister, or that girl that hangs around, or…what is it Tally Briggs calls me? Yeah “Goody-Goody.” Well, I guess I’m not so good after all am I?

Yeah, Tally. You got played.

Anyways.

I figured I should at least participate in the shit-talk exchange somehow, so I made the site so that you all could share all the shit-talk direct. Still watching from the sidelines, sure, but this has been far more convenient for me.

See, I know which of you is sharing stuff that’s true, and which of you are just sharing stuff to share stuff. You’re full of shit, but you want to sound important.

I get it.

Well, the FBI has found out who I am, and that means this is the end of Pr3pSF. Yeah, I’m not so important to all of you, but the FBI is actually very interested in me and the site I’ve built. But this is the end of it. No more rumors, no more not-so-secret secrets. And, of course, no more bullying. I didn’t intend for bullying to happen on here, but it did, and I didn’t do anything about it. I didn’t like it, but I didn’t stop it.

I know Alexa was on the receiving end of a lot of it — especially last summer. I know people piled on her because she broke up with Seb. It wasn’t right, and she didn’t even stick around on Pr3pSF to see any of it because she didn’t care. She didn’t care, and I thought that was pretty cool. She didn’t even sign on to the site until months later. And, maybe Seb deserved it after all? Time will tell.

I wanted not to care, you know? But it all just got to me. The name-calling, the teasing, the bullying — yeah, I’ve had my share too. That’s why I should have stopped it, but it was easier to just let it happen.

I — I should have been better. I made Pr3pSF, so I should have been accountable for what went on on the site. Not that I have a guilty conscience or anything — a lot of you have had it coming for a while. But some people — like Alexa — didn’t deserve it. But some other people…well you know who you are…and karma’s a bitch.

I’m shutting the site down — well, because the FBI asked me to — but I wanted to say goodbye to you all and let you know who’s been behind this whole thing. I’m also giving the FBI my full roster of accounts with your real emails and names. Yeah, I’ve known who all of you are this whole time and now I’m giving it to them. You know, so they can see who the bullies are.

They’ll also know who posted what. So yeah, the person who posted that video on Friday should be concerned.

So that’s it. That’s the end of Pr3pSF. Maybe I’ll build another one someday, but not for a while.

Just wanted you all to know.”
