You know, I've been thinking...

This website is truly something special. 

We are total strangers, who would not recognize each other on the street, or in the grocery line.

People who would not spare a passing glance at each other out in the "real world."

We get together on this one little corner of the internet, and we talk. We don't know each other's real names, friends' names, pets' names (except Bruce, all hail the mighty puglord, et c. et c.). All we have to go on are usernames and tiny, 49kb images. 

And on this little website in one little corner of the internet, we have formed a family. And it is the best family on the web. 

Where else can you find a Jewish Aussie anime-obsessed Hamilfan making conversation with a ginger cosplayer from Kansas City who reveres the old Norse Gods about their individual problems? Where else on the net can the queer teen musician from East Tennessee and the pug worshipping loving gay librarian from Louisiana make up stories about evil people with superpowers? 

Nowhere. 

This site is special because you all are special.

Now, it's getting late where I am, so I'll make this short and sweet, then I'm signing off for the night.

Thank you all. For everything. I love you guys, and hope to keep being a part of this site for as long as I can.

That is all.

Good night, 17th Shard. Good night.
