When the Dojo begins anew
Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 2:47 amYou know what, fuckers?
I like this place.
I like you crazy kids around here.
And no, I'm not drunk.
When I first open up Firefox everyday, you know what the first site I go to is? This fucking place. Half out of habit, I suppose, but it's mostly because I look forward to seeing what you assholes have to say each day. You guys are an interesting, entertaining lot, and the community that's been built here is one of the more intelligent that I've ever come across on teh interwebz. And even when it comes to flaming and tossing insults at one another, as long as it isn't too offensive, just about anything goes, which makes it a lot more fun here (and most people take it all in stride).
I'm not trying to impart some kind of deep attachment to this place or anything. If it suddenly went away forever, fine. It's just another site on the net. But all honesty, it's one of my favorite sites on the net. And if I had the choice, I'd keep it around.
So anyway, after Gamespy does away with the free site hosting, the Dojo is supposedly going to restart somewhere else. And I was fine with that.
But then I got to thinking about Hazuki Dojo.
Place is fucking lame.
Yeah, I'll post there every now and then, but usually there isn't anything worth posting, since the place is so fucking dead. I wasn't a part of the original HD, so I don't know how it was back in the day, but the new one is quiet and boring. You're lucky if you see a new post once every couple weeks, and even if there is, it's usually something boring, like shit about the PSP Go or something (no offense Ryu). Not to mention that its returning group of member who were there with the original HD are oddly boring, and are touchy about stupid insignificant shit.
It's a depressing, ugly ghost town of a forum.
And you know what? I don't want that shit to happen to our Dojo. Our Dojo is the cool one. Our Dojo is the entertaining one.
And I have this strange fear that once SD starts fresh again, many of our main contributing members might not come back, resulting in a mirror HD forum.
I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to say with all this. Maybe it's some kind of plea to get all you bastards to come back once everything starts over. Some people around here have been saying for a while now that we're a dying forum. But the way I see it, just because our little community hasn't necessarily been growing doesn't mean it's dying. Seems like it's stayed pretty consistent for a long time now, and I gotta say, I'm cool with that.
Whatever the case, I just want it to be know:
I like you guys.
And as long as most of you stick around, hell, I could keep coming here for years to come.
So yeah. Stick around, fuckers. I'll be kind of bored if you don't.
