I mean, even to this day, every single one of my online friends that I regularly talk to I have met on the forums. I think that's a great testament to how worthwhile the site has been over these years. I know there are lots of other little groups who are a tight-knit circle of friends, such as the "Eurokiddies," "Spitty's group," and not to mention the countless Skype groups you guys have with eachother!
I guess, the gist of it is, we've all greatly benefited from these forums and have mostly moved on, but always want to come back to relive those "glory days." I STILL see many of you logging on Forumotion. We don't want to give up because it's always a part of us, and we keep coming back. So, I think, the forums will always live on in this way.
