It is certainly sad to read all this, considering how alive this site used to be. Its obvious that AVP Galaxy diverted all the traffic, but I have stopped posting on there for a few years year.
What ruined it for me is all the bickering and sad debates that still go on about universes, cannon, this does count, that doesn't count, this is wrong, this is right and all the endless debates. It sucked all the enjoyment out of these movies and almost stopped me being a fan altogether. Though I still remain a fan, I am just am not as big as I used to be when I 1st joined up, even when the 'Predators' was released, I was not bothered by it. When AVP-R came out, I could not get enough, even a dark grainy, blurry photo had me craving for more.
But I do miss this site for its community, this site had the more intelligent fans, though there was debates, it never went as far as some stuff did (and still does) on Galaxy.
If it wasn't for this site, I don't think I would have made it through university, this place felt like home and there was a lot of great people to talk to about problems, granted I complained a bit (though I still do, except its now a crumby dead end job I am in, and I wont go further) but this place had a great feeling to it, to bad we all never meet each other in real life.
I was 19 turning 20 when I 1st joined this place, I remember when I was here for like a month and it felt like forever had gone by. I am now 25 and 3 months old. I have not been on here the longest but when half a decade goes by, that's just something.
I don't think I will do a 'goodbye' since I am still going to be around, who knows what may happen in the future?
One last thing, I do find it funny is that when I joined, I 1st heard about an 'Aliens: Colonial Marines' game, and we are still waiting.
Until next time, this is Mr. Weyland, signing off......
