I've been inactive for about year anyway, but I thought I'd send it after thinking about this site.
KMC and Comicvine granted me a treasure trove of fantasy content initially from the Star Wars saga, ending with TV cartoons, DC Universe and obscure anime series.
A teenager me stuck in a rural part of the country relied on this content to keep my mind active and "socialize" common nerdy interests.
I believe it is still important to exercise one's imagination as an adult, which is why I will continue to dwell into future sagas whenever an opportunity may arise; however scarce that may be.
It is bittersweet knowing that this saga comes to an end, and that the internet of anonymity and craziness I grew up with is forever changed.
I am no longer a teenager. Having full-access to the addicting game of "real life" exceeds the thrill of indulging in fantasy franchises.
The corporate business accounting world has treated me well...and I have begun investing in real-estate. My professional life is in full-swing and that nerd-driven euphoria for fantasy has been lost. I am losing my former personality to forces at play becoming increasingly difficult to control.
I hope that Comic Vine and my account remains as an archive of good memories.
Shout outs:
@emperordmb You are an interesting fellow. If you ever want a job hit me up on LinkedIn. My motivations for putting into motion the Sith Grand Plan will always reside in me, no matter how small. A New World Order is already upon us and I am not the first with such ambitions. I enjoyed your political leanings and family/societal structure rants. PM me if you want.
@wollfmyth209 Sorry to hear you are going through rough waters right now. You seem like a smart and capable guy though, and will emerge in a better position. You have my gratitude for fueling my lust for Raven and Teen Titans to a younger me. I enjoyed your praise for Count Dooku and high quality respect threads.
Those are the main people who come to mind, so that's all.
Thanks for the memories and I'll see all you guys in Hell! :)
