>>58215836Hi, Coloris Guy. We didn't really talk while you were active, but I always thought you were a good contributor who helped the thread be what it was its heyday, especially with the TCG packs.
I'm sorry to hear about those things. I can relate a lot. For me, this thread was my lifeline back into the franchise and it's been a major part of my life since I joined only about a week and a half after my birthday. It all happened very quickly and I frankly don't even remember how I found the board or thread, or what persuaded me to join. Likewise, my enjoyment of the franchise has also dwindled alongside the activity of the thread after April Fools Day and the subsequent 4chan shutdown. You should know that most original posters are still here, (barring Archivist, his editor, Zatch (according to you) and of course Em*ly), just that they were already not too active and are now even less active given that the most active posters are also less active now. Regardless, while I think your story is very interesting, and certainly worth continuing with, I'm not going to try to convince you to continue it or even to just drop by every now and then if your heart's just not in the place to do so (although either of those things would be nice). I dearly miss what this thread and Pokemon as a whole used to be, doubly so now that I am burdened with the knowledge that things will never be as they were ever again, and I don't blame you for your point of view. Unfortunately, we're probably never going to move on from that, but at least we have the memories from the good times.
I'll take a look at your stuff on Pixiv later. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Take care.
