I thought this place had gone for good, to be honest - someone told me, a while ago, that the forum and all its memories had been deleted. Maybe that really happened and then it was brought back, I don't know. All I can say is - I'm glad that it still exists. I only found it because I was searching for my old Sargon mug on google. Bored at 3AM.

It's going to be hard to avoid clichéd lines, writing like this, but... well, I hear now and then about people talking with their old friends from home, feeling directionless and whatever, being surprised when they discover that the old good-girls smoke now... my problem is that I sort of sacrified the whole concept of 'friends' for the net, and so I don't get any of that. And to be honest, I don't expect it here, because y'know, this place is reasonably vegetative. But on nights like this, when I'm getting sober and feeling oh-so-very-sentimental, I might do something silly and find somewhere I used to sit for hours on end, and ask - what the hell are you all doing with yourselves?

You might've found better things to do; maybe that's why you're not here any more. I did for a few years (I finished university a couple of months ago, and now I'm in limbo as I wait for landlords to spitefully reject my bids to get somewhere to live and work). But I'm curious as to what a bunch of former deep-sea internet jerks might end up doing. I watched Annie Hall the other night, which has one of those scenes in which it's revealed what primary school classmates are now doing with their lives - junkies, overlords, accountants, wife-beaters and the rest of it - and it just tipped me over the edge. I really am curious.

Lastly, I'd like to write what I intended to write before I got side-tracked. This place burns me up, or at least, the memory of it does. This place is the only vision of life-after-death I have remaining, and it's not even death, really. It's just transportation. It's an ongoing hallucination I've had for about six years now, which I was having when this was still alive and my life was absorbed with updating maps and going on RNGs, but it's the only form of justice I can still think of with a straight face. The vision goes like this.

We are all transported out of our lives onto endless plains of grass. Of course, these plains are in Sacae, the opening location of FE7, the game which I imagine brought most people here, and in my vision, we arrive roughly according to our locations on a map of the world (of which the Greenwich Meridian forms the centre). This means that the first person I meet is always Hollie, unsurprisingly enough; that's not exactly the point. What always gets me about this hallucination is the sheer number of unresolved issues between forum members - everyone who's ever wanted to punch someone else in the face is suddenly standing before them, for example. I rarely get beyond dealing with my own baggage and the opening credits, but all the same, the vision keeps coming to me when I'm sitting around like this, nostalgic as you please.

That's about it. I felt like saying something. In addition, I will be eternally grateful to this forum as the place in which I learned to touch-type. It's a great skill to have.

Ha! The one day I decide to browse this place out of pure, 1AM boredom...someone else has posted a topic echoing my (almost) exact thoughts! Now that's Fate.

I find it hard to write something as emotionally-charged as you just did bro, but I'm finding it really hard to care. This place was cool when I was in 6th grade, but I've grown up, and the current state of the forum suggests that almost everyone else has, too.

I wish I had the power to shut this place down for good; FEF needs closure, and needs it bad. I hate to see this place on metaphorical "life support", being dead yet alive at the same time. Just the fact that this place still continues to exist bugs me. But, oh well, what can ya do?

I'm living my life. I'm not certain where I'll end up in a year, but we'll see.

Check The Blueprint...

I get nostalgic every few months and come back here.

I'm the same as Reaver, just living life and expecting the best. Doing a lot right now to be honest. I wish the best to everyone here too, I know quite a few of you will be successful in your respective fields.

EDIT: just took a look at my join date...wow...can't believe this community is so old...and I was a member of the old forums waaay before they got hacked, damn. I can't even imagine how you guys bore with my grammar mistakes when I was 13-14 hahaha...

Time goes by so fast, it freakin' flies!! It seems like it was only a few years ago that this place was booming with activity. Good times.

This may come off as a super cheesy thing to say, but if there's one thing I've learned is that obstacles and adversity must be dealt with and, that one should always look forward, with confidence. Never hesitate or step back. We all came here because of FE7 after all, and the game's story itself is a clear example of that. If anyone who happens to read this is going through a tough time, remind yourself of the game we all played and adored - several of us beating it more than once - and the lessons that lie within. Honor the memory of both the game and of being part of this community by being the best you can be.

Cheesy/corny as fuck, but there's nothing wrong with sending a few positive vibes to my FEFF bros. :NomNomNom:

Carpe diem everyone,
Pyro
