Almost 11 months ago, I joined this community, this public-online forum through the encouragement of a personal friend of mine you all know as Son Goshin. At the time, I saw this place as nothing more than a menial depot of randomly assorted fans discussing Dragonball Z and other animes. Of course, this place was also very different at the time. The look, the members, the feel…the passion. Soon my lack of commitment would change as I became more intrigued with posts and conversations with members such as Shadow, Fluffyjuney, SKJTapion, Whateversam, MDKHeartattack, 007Vegeta, FoxExecutive, Inferno 1088, BlackCoven, Rider 4Z and many, many more. Before I knew it, I was hooked to this place. With the incoming edition of new members such as SnakeFire, Rjxsapri, Sockperson, Hieslove and countless others, I found this forum to be quite simply…an online haven.
Then, the hack…and with the hack went that feel, passion, and eagerness that seemed to be produced in every thread. Essentially, this place began…to die. Gone were the members of the initial days and the harmony that seemed to run between staff and members. Thus, replaced by chaos, angst, and total disillusionment. Subsequently, this forum began to degrade and essentially devolve into this shell before our eyes. Lack of concern from an owner, no governing staff, the rapid exodus of once prominent members, accumulated together. I don’t think it’s hard to realize, this place is finished.
Therefore, a new era must be forced to initiate, an era that has learned from its predecessor and will expand upon it in every way. This migration, is essential to not only yourselves as members and contributors, but as crucial parts in a formula that has resulted in a fantastic community. Therefore, I implore everyone to take part in this move, to begin anew and bring back that originality and excitement that this forum once had in the beginning, there is nothing left here for anyone.
Unfortunately, I must add that I will not join you in the creation of the new forum. I feel that my time and participation will be nowhere near as crucial to the new establishment, as many of you others will be. Time constraints, hectic schedules, and relationships have ultimately led to the end of my availabilities on online forums, and any possible contributions. Therefore, in this final post I wish the new establishment, and it’s members the best of luck in forging a forum even better than the last, I know you guys can do it. Thanks in advance for taking your time to read through this. This is TheBoss1288, TheBoss, TheBossAdvanced, and Poster X…logging out for the last time.
-Good Luck Guys!
