I'm going to miss you people when the Escapist shuts down.

I just want you to know that.

It's been fun talking and reading what you have to say all these years. It'll feel like a hole in my life when you aren't around anymore.

Sometimes I'll be thinking, and I'll remember the people who left years ago or got banned and I'll feel a little sad. I wonder what they're doing now, or what they'd have to say if they were still here. Where did [user]Sir John The Net Knight[/user] go after he requested his ban I wonder? I think he left the site because it was too liberal back then. Anybody else remember [user]The_root_of_all_evil[/user]? He used to have an avatar of a stickman eating cereal and I think he was in his 50s or 60s. [user]MelasZepheos[/user] always wrote really good posts I thought, as well as [user]BonsaiK[/user] and [user]Eclectic Dreck[/user]. [user]j-e-f-f-e-r-s[/user] wrote good posts too and was really passionate about Nintendo. [user]Julianking93[/user] was a bit of a perv, but in a lovable way. [user]Jumplion[/user] had that avatar endlessly falling down stairs, [user]Believer258[/user] had one of Ed giving a thumbs up and [user]Dastardly[/user] made good posts on articles. I've only just begun and hardly even spoke about anyone and already this is getting long. There were just so many people who's posts I enjoyed reading here over the years who don't come anymore. I wish I had the time to name them all, but I really don't and should already go to bed.

I'd like to go through the people who are still active here individually and tell you why you're awesome, but I'd feel really bad if someone came to this thread, didn't find themselves mentioned and felt left out. So I know it doesn't mean as much this way, but just know that I think each of you are special in your own little ways, even if most of you hate each other. I'll remember you for a long time.

But you also made me remember a whole bunch of colorful characters that aren't around anymore, which also makes me kind of sad.

Yeah, I'll miss this place and you folks. I just want it to last another year or so somehow. I don't want another loss in 2018. We already lost Cracked.com's youtube content and LRR's Feed Dump. That's about half of the youtube content I watched. Losing the Escapist at the same time would really bite.

Even though the in-fighting and grudge holding I've seen a lot of lately is making me feel rather jaded towards the site, I do admit I'll miss a lot of you guys when things go under. I still check the site multiple times a day. I don't even know why I do it, there's hardly anything here, and quotes are borked so people don't bother with it much anymore (I still fix my settings weekly, hoping I see a quote waiting for me). Guess it's mostly just habit at this point. But when there's a good thread, I like to stop by to see you guys. Helps me remember how things were.

Thanks for a good thread, man

I've done a lot less posting and a lot more lurking in the last few years, but all of you guys had some cool things to say, even if I don't necessarily agree with all of them (at least, regarding gaming.)

Don't know how much longer we have, but I definitely hope you all land on your feet. As for me... I've tried looking for new forums before.

I have been following this site as early as 2008-9 I think, I just never made an account.

I have watch your comments from a distance and I laugh, get mad, and still have no idea why certain people got banned and never came back.

I would love to make a snarky comment at this point in time, but clearly I wouldn't come here if I didn't enjoy it ... so ... yeah, I'll miss you guys and gals. Not that I think we're in danger of an imminent collapse, but there we go.

Is LRR finished? I used to love those guys. But then I haven't followed them since about a year after they left

While I have been colonizing reddit, I will stay here until the bitter end.
My fellow 'Pists, we will endure.

No, just Feed Dump. Just like the Phailhaus, Feed Dump will rise from the ashes in a new format... sometime. And LRR will continue. But we will miss..

Wait, what?

Ok, only care about After Hours, but still. Been cancelled?
There were massive layoffs end of last year I think, most of the content creators were let go including the After Hours cast :(

I have the community signature background always on because of all the good times.

We're not getting what we had back here but I'm here until the lights go out.

I'm gonna be making a new forum and hosting it in the Netherlands. For specific reasons. But the bad news is, that's WAY down the road because I absolutely need to do something that will consume literally two whole years of my life and I won't be able to properly admin a forum at all of course during such. Because of that though, I wonder if I should even have mentioned it, but I just simply wanted you all to know that the classic BBS/forum format for social media will not be forgotten and will be resurrected.

At a later date though. I'm gonna be really damn busy.
