haha I can imagine people might act on the last day of gamespy hosting acting like the last day of school.

A free for all,not like anyone can do anything that will stop them.

I don't know how HR plans to do the staff on the new site..keep the same people (plus Yama of course) or a mix of new and old staff. but I am pretty sure it will have far less people of course since most the members signed up to these forums are either banned or left alter ego's bots and other stuff and mostly the core active people will sign up first.

I guess HR will address that later when things get closer to the end date.

Will there be a way to have a link from this site to the new one? Incase old people decide to come back.

And is it keeping the same name? If not I think we should vote.

Keeping the name could keep it recognizable. Even people who aren't a member here often know the name "Shenmuedojo" at least. Especially since it's also visible in the cutscene video's.

If it keeps the name/theme, the forum will almost certainly die.

Will the new place retain our features/PMs/posts/threads/boards/whatever?

Who is Yama?

Will we have a main site with all of the site media? Is this why you moved everything to YouTube?

Will you make us all mods on the last week?

Maybe all you folks should start a non-Shenmue gaming/general discussion site. It's too much of a niche. People aren't playing the game much anymore, maybe some ironic 'replays' on Something Awful or what have you, but there's no future userbase to draw from.

Unless Shenmue III comes out, which has seemed unlikely since... I don't know, since I've been a member here. Weirdly, I don't check in as much as I used to, it's going to be my sixth anniversary in two days.

Still, when that last day is coming, folks should reach out to all the older members they know and see if they can get a bit of a reunion going. People pop in one final time, one last kiss to send this forum into oblivion.

I think that would be lovely.

I think i'm actually going to be an absolute cunt on the last day. Racism, porn, beastiality, spam etc. I'm going out with a bang. I've got a feeling it would be the best day this forum has seen in years.

We need all the ego's and top characters unbanned (QWERTY, Mittens, RedRum, TEEPO etc.) and invites/reminders to previous members to see how many we can get together for the funeral of the dojo.
