When I joined the OBD in 2007, I came as an observer, two years later I found myself exiled by mods with cancerous personalities, no integrity and even less of a soul or really any sense of self awareness. I wasn't exactly liked at first but when you enter a new community, you're the outsider and its your duty to earn the respect and acceptance of that community.
If you're lucky, you find yourself a part of that community and make within it friends.
As I came, so to do I leave, 13 years to the day that I started posting regularly I find myself once again compelled to leave a place I call home. But I don't leave it in bad spirits, this is your place, you made it live, you claimed it and no one will ever be able to take that from you. You proved that our hobby is as it always has been, bigger than any one debater, any one site, any one medium of purveyance and any one personality. The places my change, the fictions we discuss may evolve, but the faces may as well, but the culture is forever.
@The Hunter You are a good man, you were among the coolest bastards when I first came here, you're among the coolest as I'm leaving. No one knows Star Wars better than you, not even Mike Wong and Curtis Sacton and they helped codify and quantify its many vessels. I mean that, truly and it sucks we're probably the only ones left that actually understand the gravity of that. But its not empty praise.
@MusubiKazesaru No one defended me to those corrupt shitbags and mentally ill caricatures of human beings in the staff on NF harder than you. No one kept the peace better than you, no one fostered new blood better than you except UD. You are a friend and a gentlemen and a fellow Tolkien scholar.
@Masterblack06 You are the future of this section, nuff said.
@Darth Nihilus What can I say? Brother, comrade, bad ass, philosopher, entrepreneur class act, impeccable taste, poet, shitposters...Straight up G. You deserve it all.
@NostalgiaFan No greater scorn, no better banter, no fiercer ally and venomous foe.
@Xhominid The Fool You are the destroyer of Spergbattles. And I have been waiting twenty plus fucking years to say that about someone
@Blade Yeah, nothing needs be said, you made me laugh until I had fucking asthma attacks, you're the best there is, was or ever will be
@Nevermind You are the next Governor of New York, you will reclaim glory for men in the west. Fuck you, you glorious boss No but seriously, I value your insight and friendship.
@Es_ Comrade, brother, ally and if they really knew the extent of what you are, the accolades would exceed the rage and skepticism.
@OtherGalaxy You are a class act...Catch ya on the flip side.
@ChaosTheory123 I'll miss our debates brother and our discussions on psychology. You're the only calc cultist that isn't an absolute heretic
@Crimson Dragoon See ya on discord, where we mock shitty rpers and bad fanfics.
@Atem I'll see you around brother, it has been a good friendship and a great decade.
To everyone else, you are all the best this place has to offer, its deliverance and the culture's future.
Fuck death battles, Fuck VSB, fuck Spergbattles, SV go home..and above all else.
Claim, assert, dominate.
Peace!
