I'm sorry Reddo. I really am. And now that Zeffy has posted his, I guess it's my turn....
I personally don't have anything prepared for this. I tried prepping, but.... ya know.... Sometimes, ya just gotta let things come from the heart in the moment. WOFZ wasn't my first home on PC. To be honest, I came to PC (a second time after... 3 years or so on a new account cuz I forgot everything about my old one) to the Game Development section and the Hacking section during one of my Poke-highs. But, ya know, I stuck with it. Kinda got involved with a project or two with people here, until it flopped. Then, I just kinda.... stalked. I found Other Clubs and started posting in the FF/KH Club for awhile, but... that only made me so happy. It wasn't until I was about to give up on PC altogether again that I found OT, and specifically, WOFZ. TCTI and DLTMS0 just.... it didn't feel special. I didn't feel a connection. And, admittedly, I was timid and afraid of the staff who posted there. But, WOFZ just had this sort of.... friendliness about it that no other thread I'd ever come across had had. To be honest, I think, even in real life I've never met a friendlier group of people. I've made friends who have had such a huge impact on me. Silv, Gazza, Nudge, Code, Sakura, Nee, Don, Zeffy, Reddo... so many of you guys I met in WOFZ. And you've all, admittedly, become people I care about a lot. You've all given me a lot of fun, given me a place I can turn to when I needed a smile when nothing else can. And that's why, I think, I loved WOFZ so much. Not because of the counting, or because of the rules and whatnot. It's the people and memories it's given me. I will have stuck with PC for two years in less than three weeks. That's thanks to this place. To these people. And while I'm grateful to WOFZ for giving me that which it has, I think now it deserves the chance to be put to rest. It's been dying slowly now... and it's saddened me. I think that, the lack of posts in over a week and a half have shown that it's ready.
You people can call me sappy, naive, foolish, stupid, whatever you want. But, to me, this place has been something very dear, and at some of the darkest times in my life. So, I just wanna say thank you, WOFZ, and thank you everyone who's posted here and become my friend. And... I wanna say... goodbye, WOFZ. You've meant a lot to me.
