I honestly didn't expect myself to make a goodbye post this late in the game, but reading some others has me inspired to cap things off properly in my own way. Discovering the site all those years ago while I was still in college, I could have never dreamed how ingrained in my life it'd become. As many can guess, I'm not the best at staying active in communities like this, and this even extends to keeping in touch with friends I don't get to see on a regular basis. Yet I managed to maintain a sort of consistency here for about the first half of the site's life give or take, and form bonds with way more people here than I'd ever give myself credit for. While some have moved on and others are still easy enough to talk with on discord, I'm eternally grateful for the myriad of site users I've gotten the chance to interact with. From avid fans of Symphogear, crafters of cyphers for people to have fun trying to solve, the shitposters, the rpers and everyone in between, it's been a pleasure. I truly mean that no matter what rough spots of the site's history could be brought up. As with others I have too many people I could mention in particular with memories of good times we shared on one day or another. If we've been cool, you probably know who you are. Thanks for being you and dealing with me being myself. This is as good a time as any to address the elephant in the room for those that know. My increasingly frequent bouts of hiatuses. To say my life has changed a lot since those early days would be a gross understatement, as I'm sure it would be for anyone that's been here since those times. From school to getting a crappy job at Amazon and a whole lot more after, there were just ever increasing reasons for me to not be around. There's a lot I've missed during those absences, and a lot of "newer" users I never got a chance to really meet because of it too. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for what I was able to do with the time I did make. And even more so, I can't stress how much I appreciate not being forgotten. I'm not going to suddenly become more active on discord because the site's going away, but being remembered despite everything and still having a place here is more than I feel I deserve. I can't thank you all enough for that. I think that gets across most of what I'd want to in a goodbye post for the site. I've had a ton of fun on the number of accounts I've made use of over the years. From Misturu to Mido, Sonic and Plush Morgana too, I'll be able to look back on those times with a smile probably for the rest of my life. Here's a throwback for those that've been here a while. This is Delta signing off with Operation G.O.O.D.B.Y.E. Giving One Outward Display Befitting Your Ending Take care guys. The community lives strong past the death of this website. Don't be sad it's gone, be happy it happened.
