I just did a video analysis on Trigun and it got me pretty emotional thinking about my youth. Pokemon Crater and Aisenfield were huge parts of my life growing up and I wouldn't be the person I am today without their influences. I'm so sad that this community has slipped away from me, I've never really been able to replace it. You guys were a replacement family for me. Amidst all the chaos in my life, you guys were a bit of a constant group I could always turn to. I wish I could go back in time and appreciate those moments a lot more. I wish I could go back and tell my past self to lighten up and be less of an abrasive dick too. I miss you guys, miss this community something fierce
Aww man reading this brings tears to my eyes. I always felt like I was away too much, I regret not spending more time with the crater/aisenfield community. I can say the moment has been grasped away from me so soon and I feel a bit of an emptiness inside. I miss everyone and how active it used to be. The influence of the forums shaped me, I felt the same nostalgia rewatching Yu Yu Hakusho. All of you hit me in a way where I wish we could go back to that time and for the record I never once thought of you as a dick.
