Damn, some of you guys are making me emotional. Like Mitts moaning, and Sonikku with the flag.

18 years. Jesus.

I feel like everything's packed up, and everyone here as a family are lifting boxes over to the new place. But tomorrow i will be standing in an empty room in silence, flicking the light off and closing the door on a place you have more or less lived for almost 20 years.

Its been a a great run but I'm excited to see where this place goes. I've had a lot of cool conversations here over the years, even better arguments lol and met some cool people.

Here's to more of the same in the future. Grabbing the U-Haul now Peter :)

I remember when the moderators got mad at people for padding their post count in the junk forum, so they made it so posting there wouldn’t increase their number of posts. Still not sure why the post count was so important to them. :lol:

Sonikku, you really did catch me at the wrong time with that post. :cry:

Its 6.31am and i am destroyed, pulling an all nighter on the history section. I thought i could put the extra effort in and have it ready for launch, but no way on earth that is happening. No Way. At 5581 words, i am only at the end of 2004 after the whole Louis hacking incident, and in the middle of the promotion of Shenmue Online. I haven't even captured the various screens. I humbly apologise that it wont be complete. Not even half complete before launch, but i will put a note on it, that it will be constantly worked on in the coming days, with the aim to be completed asap with top priority.

Also, thank you everyone across the entire forum for the messages of 100% support. I have been prepared, and still am, for the worst, but the messages so far have been jaw dropping for me. Especially when being deep into this sites history for a week now, the feels on my end are a crazy batch of emotions on so many layers. I have even read my own posts whilst going through the history, from when i was with my first girlfriend, taking a holiday to Balckpool and walking to Alien Dude (QWERTY) when i got back, Bluecast was actually such a normal, cool dude, Silas turned 40, i had internet issues, i walked for the first time when Teepo was allowed back here, Whiteshadow became admin and helped get this place back on serious track after the whole HellRaiser incident of 2002, Ryo's Place and the Hazuki Dojo, LanDC going ballistic (which time?? Still love you Matt), the power struggle........

Thats just to 2005. Only another 13 years left to cover.

I will miss the old Dojo. All the news, speculations over the years before the Dream came true, it was a wild ride. :cry:

Bleedin ell Peter, I thought it'd be five paragraphs tops, not an actual novelisation of fifteen years worth of posts!

I also remember looking back just a few seconds ago and realizing that I already made that joke. That was a good time too.
