Well... Here we are.

Mere hours from now, Rooster Teeth as we knew it will be gone. 

The forums we spent so much time with, scattered to the digital ether.

All those moments gone, reduced to mere memory in a moment, like breath on a mirror.

It was a hell of a run, wasn't it?

In the years I've been here, no other site felt so much like home. And I sure as hell made a few great memories... Like this

Boy, that was a fun time...

And I still remember the time Luke Mckay actually liked one of my posts!

I think that will be my crowning achievement.

And now, it's all gonna be gone.

I wish I knew when and why it all changed. Did the site grow up without us? Did WE grow up and leave the site behind? Is this the decision of the staff we've all known and loved all these years, or is this at the behest of some out of touch corporate master?

I'll likely never know, and it doesn't really matter now...

The facts are simple. The site is changing, the forums are going away. I guess this place just... Doesn't need guys like me anymore...

I should clarify, I came to this site all those years ago because of two things: RvB. and the forums. That's what got me here, and that's what kept me here. Without the forums... Ain't much reason for me to stick around, y'know?

But the time I spent here... Well... It was some of the best times of my life. And I want to thank you, all of you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of it. It's been an honor, and a privilege, to know each and every one of you.

Now I ain't gonna drop off the face of the internet or nothing. I'll still be lurking here. Just don't expect me to be posting anything. Lord knows I gotta get my money's worth from that 60 dollar sponsorship FIRST Membership. 

Plus you can always find me, usually under the username willjar313 or Wil-Jr (a name I came up with HERE, no less). I mean, I DO have a steam account. Not to mention, I'm a fan of a lesser-known guy named Nash, who streams a weekly show called Radio Dead Air every Monday night from 9 pm to 2 am Eastern. He also does Game streams every Wednesday night and Tech Q&A every Saturday night on Twitch. 

Also a big fan of Pat, formerly of Super Best Friends Play, who you can find here.

Also been occasionally browse the forum of a site called The Middle Ground. It's a site based around Sprite comics, if anyone still remembers those...

And of course, lastly, I'll be over on the Forums rats, yuckin' it up with all them fellas under this username you know and love. If any of ya got a craving for that old school Rooster Teeth feel, come on over, and drop a few friend requests.

And who knows. This might not be goodbye FOREVER. Maybe RT will bring the forums back, and I might just swing by and visit again. But it IS goodbye, for now at least.

And with that, all has been said, and all has been done. So now, all that's left is to leave you all with some good goin' away music.

But what song to pick?

I AGONIZED over this choice, throwing ideas back and forth the entire time I was writing these last journals. Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow by Queen? Back to Zanarkand from FFX? We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn? Hell, a couple songs I already used were lined up to be the last song. Yeah, I thought way too hard about this, but finally, I came to a decision. I figured out exactly what song I want this long goodbye to go out on.

And I think the choice was... Perfect.

'Til we meet again, guys!

This is RVBFAN314... Signing off.
