Guys, it's been fun. I'll join the FB group, but damn I'll miss this place.

Edit: care to share the PM? I was tempted to just change your password but I thought that would be rude.

Also let me in the group

Also, I'm proud that I was here to the end, really. The delicious irony is that I DID become a mod in the long run. I remember when people would actually ask for that...

I guess I gotta admit... same here.

Always kinda took it for granted that it was still there, even when I (and probably a majority) fell off for awhile.  Always thought it was kinda funny trying to explain a SO awhile back why I was posting on a paintball forum when I didn't play paintball.

So, thanks for that era of greatness, o fellow T/O forumers! Almost it feels like a past life or something. This place in some way shaped who I am.  Maybe I'm remembering differently now, but I would credit this place as having probably the most civil and well-reasoned debates (and master debaters) I've yet seen on the internet. 

I'm actually sad now, having typed that. There's, like... a sappy country song lamenting the death of an internet forum in there somewhere.

I'll see you guys on the FB then, I suppose. Thanks TF!  I'll never again have this close of a personal relationship (I've met a few a y'all IRL) with another group of internet strangers ever again.

Also, there are still a few of us over at #paintball. It's been pretty dead. Markhoff has the highest word count, I'd bet. Would love to see more of more than a few of you in there.

I feel the same.

12 years, all of highschool, six years of college, a driver's license, four cars, two homes, two states, a few SOs, probably 10 jobs.

I took it for granted. I'll miss this place.

Feels like ages seeing these names and being back on here.  I was never that big of a contributor, but this was the first forum I was ever a member of, fueled my love of paintball, and provided plenty of summer surfing entertainment for my snotty-nosed self long ago.  (Still snotty nosed)   Hate to see it go.

As I am also a newly Christened mod, I have brought my original name back from the dead. The numbers offended me.

Thanks Tallen... I lurk every now and then, but despite not posting, I liked knowing this place was still around every time I remembered to check. Sad days.

Dang. 
It's pretty weird. Life and junk.


Yeah, it's pretty crazy to think about... this place is definitely part of why I do what I do now, it was one of my first and largest online influences and experiences. I joined two years before YouTube existed, and many of you were here long before I ever was. Time has flown but there were some hilarious shenanigans on here along the way.

Thank you Tallen for the heads up about them closing this place, I had to come back before it's gone.

Thanks for all the fun everyone.

Staying up another 8 minutes to see if the plug is pulled at midnight EST. Will check in tomorrow morning if not. Who knows what'll go down and when.

If it's CST, mountain, or god forbid, PACIFIC, I'm out. I've got work tomorrow. It'll be odd waking up without mod powers....
