Glad you enjoyed your stay, Gunslinger!

I'll be creating my own group in tapatalk soon, to migrate people willing to come over there. It'll also be a place for art in general, such as music, stories, roleplays, and sharing whatever artistic experiences we may have.

OK, I made my own group at Tapatalk,

Gosh, I wish I could shout out the old Stories Forum greats, but other than the author of The Empty Lord (whose name, lost to time, might have been Riekan?), Dreamweaver of Nildi of Keldagrim , Pacccy of Katrine and Juliet (who, alongside Englishkid, staunchly advanced some wonderful openly gay stories onto the website), Yrolg of Yrolg's Reviews ... it's really hard to remember everyone these days. Been a bit.

Shoutout to OneHotStud, Iamreegena, Sirapyro, AnAverageGom/Kenobifm, and Eisenmann V, though. They're the last survivors of The Word, along with me, and I'm so glad I got to make so many fine friends while riding this sinking ship.

The emergence of old names slipping onto the forum to say their final goodbyes, reminiscing and remembering the history of this hellhole has been a sight to see these last few days.

I don't think it's quite struck me yet, the fact that this is all going to be gone soon - that we'll never be able to post on these old forums again, and not too long after we won't even be able to look back on the archived posts. There's an odd sense of detachment, or maybe it's more a sense of surrealness since it doesn't really feel real. The roleplaying forum, for all its shaky history, has been something of a landmark in my mind for a good fifteen years at this point. Fucking hell, I first showed up here back in 2008, literally half my life ago. What a wild ride.

You know... For all that tensions have cooled and the elitist wars came to a close years ago, I don't think I ever apologized for my part in them. It was 'cool' to hate Alpha Base back in the day, to look down on the people who, to our eyes, looked like they were not even trying and flaunting their refusal to follow the rules, shaking up the community with a low effort series that nobody really understood with how dense and nonsensical it was. Thing is, in the end it was all just about having fun, and I'm pretty sure we were pissed because people on Alpha Base were having fun and we didn't like that the small posts and nonsensical plot was fun for people.

That's pretty dumb, to be honest. We were pretty dumb.

So while I certainly don't remember every name that took part on that series, we have the most infamous still here, a constant presence for a decade of our lives on this corner of the internet. Annie, I'd like to apologize for the ridicule you and the other people of Alpha Base use to receive on a daily basis. I can't speak for everyone, but it wasn't right of me to be so dismissive. I was a bit of a dick, probably more than a bit, and even if it was years ago it's only right I apologize to you properly. Sorry. I am Inferi.

In the end we were all just a bunch of antisocial weirdos who hung out on an MMO subforum for roleplaying, trying to have fun and escape reality for a little while by playing as fantastical characters in crazy worlds. The bizarre drama and schoolyard whispers against each other is what a lot of people were trying to get away from in the first place. The fact that people still end up dealing with that kind of shit going into adult life and the workplace is insane! But that's me digressing.

I think I'm somewhat rambling now, it's 2am and I felt compelled to write some final thoughts on this piece of history. I grew up here, in a way. My time on this forum definitely improved my writing by leaps and bounds over the years, and by no means would I be as capable of working the english language as I am now if not for my time spent on here, writing away the hours with strangers from across the world. I've made friends, lost other friends, got in arguments with strangers, made more friends and kept in touch with them. Many years ago I even met my first girlfriend on this very forum. Real fuckin' wild ride this place has been, god damn.

Of the many people who've come and gone from this place a part of me will always wonder if they remember That-One-Dude-Who-Always-Abandons-His-Roleplays, whether it be a particular character, a thread I made or a comment I made OOC. Whether we were friends, enemies, acquaintances, strangers, passing rivals, threadmates or any other form of contact - I cherish all the times I spent here, with each and every one of you. The good times and the bad. I'm pretty sure that not only my writing improved by spending time here, but my social skills in general. Or maybe that's why I'm a degenerate.

Love you fuckers. Wish you all well, wherever you may end up.

George Rozas, formerly known as Black Dawn80, slipping out of here for the final time. I am Inferi.

George, there is no hard feelings about that. You guys help me to be a better role player and I want to thank you all. Even though I frustrate the hell out of you guys. And I’m sorry about that. -Dances-

Gosh. I remember how I first met you guys 9 years ago. I had just lost my one dedicated reader of my stories. I forget his name and if I'm being honest, I had my own idiotic ideas of what made a good story at the time. He told me to "Write for yourself and yourself alone" I was devastated. By chance I discovered our roleplaying and story thread. I remember the difficulty I had trying to joing Fish's Kingdoms of Korrus thread. I had no idea what any of the roleplaying terms were, and Fish told me that If I wasn't going to "Follow the rules" I should leave.

I was stubborn though and with persistence and my ruthless drive to learn, I was able to actually join Kingdoms of Korrus and develop friendships with you guys. I cannot beff lieve it has been nearly a decade since then. Granted I disappeared for 2 years to write the lore for Vampyro. Which was supposed to be the lore for my Witch hunting RP which never took off, but the most curious of coincidences happened when Fish and I posted nearly identical witch hunting RPs at the same time as a result neither RP took off.

-
I haven't had much time this week to continue copying down Vampyro. I had resl life shit happening. I will try to copy fown another 20 pages tomorrow or more. I had medical issues pop up and yeah. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)
