I give up.

Though I tried, I give up. Not one, not a single person I know seems to want to join this forum. Suits me, I guess, for trying to get friends onto such a niche set of interests.

Besides just going around the web advertising, which I really don't wanna be known for doing (spamming old memes is much better), I am drawing a blank for possible ways to keep this site alive. Apologies, people with hope for it, but such is de wae.

Sure, I'll still stop by now and then to see how things go, because even though I no longer see the need to try myself, doesn't mean hope is dead.

Best of luck.

I feel kind of bad.
I can't really think of a reason why people wouldn't want to join besides the fact that...forums just aren't really a popular thing anymore like they were in the mid 2000's

I don't know. Maybe you wanna set up a Tumblr blog where people could submit stuff? A Discord server? Twitter account?

I used to post here years ago under the name mateff, woke up from a dream with this site in my mind. Amazing to see it's still up. Honestly the amount of nostalgia I'm feeling right now is almost uncomfortable. I posted here when I was 14 or 15 and I just turned 28 last month. Where does the time go? It's so strange to think back how much has changed since those days. Amazing to see some of the old faces still around. I hope you're all well and good. Who has started a family? Who has gone on to pursue their careers? So many emotions are flooding me right now. I want you know that everyone who posted in the old days, you are all marks on the map of my past, waystations on the track to the present. However brief our interactions were, we all helped each other grow in some way. I imagine the Mario Universe had a massive impact on all of our lives in some way, Super Mario RPG taught me to read, for instance. I started drawing to recaputre some of the magic I felt while being immersed in Mario's world. I can bet all of you have corresponding stories. What a thrill it is to type this post, I hope some of you old heads from back in the day feel the same way. SO MUCH LOVE! Please feel free to reach out if you feel like going on a trip dowm memory lane, or the Star Road you can contact me at [e-mail]
