My name’s Zack. I joined this site a few days after beating Persona 5 back in what I think was late April 2017, and over the past 3 and 1/2 years, I’ve yet to make a single funny post on this shitpost account. I was a miserable kid who had been struggling with shitty mental health for the majority of his life at the time. I was an admittedly pretty awful person Back then, and didn’t even have the brains to realize it. Taking advantage of capital “I’s” and lowercase “L’s”, looking identical in the font the site uses, I started messing with Inari, a frequent shitpoater at the time. The gag got stale pretty quickly, but I ended up sticking around and posting with relative frequency for awhile. For me, the Phansite was the only place I felt like I could escape the misery of my life at the time and live a different (admittedly pretty sad) one somewhere else. I never exactly made friends on the site. Hell, the users I had the closest connections with are all gone now, but this place meant so goddamn much to me back then. As time went on, after years and years of depression and two suicide attempts, I started to finally see the effects of all the years I had spent trying to get better. Over the course of summer 2018-summer 2019, I turned my life around and started chasing a dream I never knew I had. It felt like crawling out of a bottomless pit and seeing the rest of the world for the first time. As I grew up and got better, I started using the site less frequently, until I reached the point where I’d only check in about once every month. This time when I did that, I saw the unfortunate news that the site’s getting shut down, so I wanted to take a moment and say thank you to anyone and everyone who helped make those awful days back then a little be less awful. It seems ridiculous nowadays, but this site used to mean everything to me, and I still look back at my time here fondly. I’m a drastically different person than the “Lnari” I used to be, but I don’t regret any of the cringe shit I’ve posted throughout the years, because goddamn, it made me so happy back then. Anyway, I’ve rambled on for long enough, but if anyone who remembers me reads this, I just wanna give a genuine thank you to all of you. I hope you all can look back on the Phansite as fondly as I do.
