Hello, old friends - Jack_Pholph - 09-06-2012
It has been so long, almost a lifetime it seems. Before I get to my point, let me tell you a story. When I was young, I mean really young, I stumbled upon porn. At the time I didn't know anything about biology or sex, except that it felt good. After a few months, I found a little comic called "Gatomon's Playtime" which I enjoyed, because it brought back memories of a tv show long forgotten. One night I couldn't find the comic, only a link that sent me to a story called "Poyomon's Playtime", which I found interesting, but I wanted more. So I cut out some bits from the url and ended up at the authors page, DarkJester. I read those digimon stories for weeks, maybe even months, unaware of other writers. That is till one day I was looking at the page, bored of the same old stories, and noticed a link labeled "Lemons". Examining the other links in the bar, I figured that it might lead me to other writers, and it did. Suddenly, a whole world opened up to me, just me, not my family or anyone else. It was my hidden paradise. For months I read and re-read stories, writing down the ones I really liked. Then, the server was down one night, leaving me alone. I had looked at this board once or twice, but never gave much thought to it until that moment. I fished the url out of my web history, and found a place with people like me. Not visibly stressed or manipulative, but friendly, something near unknown to me. I made friends, thinking back on it now I almost miss that time enough to cry. The next week the servers were back up and my paradise was returned to full, but I had someplace and some people new. For years I enjoyed, unknowingly being shaped into someone I might have respected were it someone else. And now we are here. Near the end of a story, but the beginning of something and, with hope, someone new. While I may not log on much, or depending on what happens, ever again, just know that I owe who I am to you. I mean everyone here, the spam-bots, the moderators, everyone. I want to say something that I have never said to anyone with meaning, I love you. My point that I want to make is that I am who I am because of you and every person who ever touched this site in some way. I want to say goodbye. Until the site is gone, I will always say hello, but seeing as I will most likely not be here on its last few moments, to my most horrible regret, I would like to say goodbye. I am spending time here, for anyone who would like to get to know what they helped make, but I never would even be there if not for this site.
