Leaving Party (for the Old Forum)

edited September 2013 in General Chat
Well, this it. The last day of the old forums (and site too, I guess, but whatever).

You've been like a good friend to us, forums. You hold so many cherished memories for us - memories that will stick around for many years to come (unless the transfer glitches and we lose everything). You've introduced so many people to each other, you've helped us to say so much, and soon you shall disappear into the ether, to be replaced by a newer, "better" model.

Oh forums of old. Your time has come and gone. Change was inevitable. Spambots run rampant, your downtime has become nigh-unbearable and you're falling apart at the seems, held together by little more than hopes, prayers, tape and spit. But even so, still you stand, defiant to the end.

And though you are not sentient, forums, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend. Fare thee well. You shall be missed.

    And all I have to say to my fellow forumites is:

    This old forum was great. The new one would be good as well but the main problem with it is the threaded discussions. I wonder will everyone just start talking mainly in the classics part because its going to keep the way threads work now.

    Though I haven't been here for as long as some, and though I spent a good portion of my time here yelling at Telltale over the King's Quest issue, I am sad to see the old forum go. :::sniffle, sniffle:::

    I hope the new forum will be great. (*cough* w/o threaded discussions *cough*) And I also hope that a lot of the same people still stick around and aren't too turned off by the changes. This is one of the few forums that attracts a lot of adventure gamers (hardly anyone even goes to that site adventuregamers.com), and I hope it remains a welcoming place for fans of the classics.

    Will we still be able to see the big avatars and the quotes in people's signatures?

    I guess I should be happy about experiencing the new forum, but I am sad to see this one go.

    I've been on here since April, this is a really great forum and I'm gonna miss it a lot, looking forward to the new one, but still all the fun times I've had on this one will always remain in my heart.

    Goodbye old forum I'm miss you *tears up* no really my eyes are watering little :(

    may we remember your ridiculous Tags, CanySupports, RPing Accounts, and bizarre hypothetical games that remain.

    There's one quirk I'll always miss about the old Games page on the website:

    Seeing a description like this:

    Followed by "funny" games like this:

    It's a shame though I never used this forum much.

    From now on I'm going to refer to every going-away party as a "leaving party." It just sounds so hilariously cold.

    Goodbye old forums. I've been here since almost the beginning (there's some posts from before it lists my join date that are now marked guest).

    It's the games that brought me here, and the community that keeps me here. So as long as that won't vary much, I embrace the change. Bring on the new forums. :)

    Ah, TTG, we've been through so much together. My disapointment with the Wiiware TMI delays was what led me to becoming a member, the sheer chaos of the Monkey Island section at launch was what kept me. You were there for me when I left my former forum haunting grounds (ONM. After a forum update, it just became a playground for shouty ten year olds and moaning fanboys. Think TWD section times ten.), and needed a place to stay. The community here has been here for me in so of my darkest, most depressing time of recent years, providing a respite of comfort away from the pains of every day life. It has provided inspiration through threads such as the writing thread, many a laugh and many a cry of frustration as a lengthy though provoking post gets eaten up by gremlins. And I like to think that I have grown to become a part of this community. My one regret is that I haven't been more active in other parts of the forum.

    So it is with deep regret that I must announce that I will be staying on in the new forums. So you're stuck with me for a while yet!

    Well, I'll probably still be around the classics for a bit anyway. Unless they're planning to cap "discussions" at a few pages and we start having (ie)favourite games #6, this whole thing sounds like utter mayhem and will be impossible to follow.

    I don't really have the motivation to scan through a bunch of shit if I feel like saying something.

    We'll see.

    Goodbye old forum, I will genuinely miss you.

    Oh boy, I've only been here for a few months but geez, this forum was nice. See you all at the new forum! Endure and survive!

    It's from a movie called Foodfight! It was supposed to be released in 2003 but "hard drives were stolen" (while insiders claim it was actually a money laundering scheme) so it was redone and came out just last year. It's a generic Toy Story with Marketing Icons, Nazi Allusions, Sex Jokes, Racial Sterotype Jokes, Jew Jokes, Interspecies Relationships, and more. Oh, and it only cost $65 million dollars to make.
