    Looks like the end result is this. All is well.

    Aww, the member wiki was the best part. All my Ciddies


    EDIT: Doing a quick search looks like I had
    Mid-2006
    Most Missed Member
    End 2005
    Best Regular
    MLT Get Banned (and howdy I sure did)
    MLT Win a Ciddie for the First time


    Still bitter about losing to Psy for best spammer and the fact that me and Dan lost MLT get together.

    This place had a big influence on me from the end of my teens to almost my mid-20s. Lots of fond memories, and I've met people here who I've stayed in touch with to this day.

    That said, it's inevitable that the site will one day go dark. Keeping it online as a shrine to a now-past era in online culture has a certain appeal, but continuing to incur expense for the sake of nostalgia, or out of a faint hope that it might burst back into activity, just feels kind of saddening. If I had to choose, I'd vote for a definite end point, rather than a perpetual digital limbo.

    Then again, it's easy for me to say that because I'm still connected, on other social media, with a lot of the people who mean the most to me. For folks who use EoFF as their online social hub, this place is surely as valuable as ever.

    This is a fantastic idea, and it'd be one heck of a touching send-off. I think I'd actually shed a tear or two if I was online at the very end and saw "all cookies cleared" for the final time.

    ...And now I see that Del's taken over ownership and all's well for the future. No worries, and it's good to know that we'll keep on keeping on

    I wasn't around for most of your ownership tenure, BoB, but if it was anything like how you handled things when I was around then it's safe to say it was great! And you found someone else great to take up the reins. Even though I don't post regularly anymore it's still nice knowing this place is out there.

    I would be sad, this is one of the few sites that are still around from my High school days. So much has chanced since then.

    2 years on I seem to be the only person that posted in this thread that is active.

    The irony is that my original post was entirely neutral.

    I'm still upset about the Member Wiki disappearing. Jiro's entry on me was amazing.

    Don't revive threads like this

    If we want EoFF to last forever, we have to rid the cultural zeitgeist of the idea that it could even go away to begin with

    We should genuinely start a tontine, though.
