    I look forward to seeing the new ownership articulate their anti-racism policy, and commitment to dismantling online harassment and misconduct.

    Oh cool!

    I really went back and forth on offering to buy the place myself, but I know that even on staff my plans were controversial and I doubt they'll have been too popular with the old timers either (and I guess that's also why you didn't ask me BoB xD). Plus right now I don't even know if I have the time/bandwidth to execute on them anyway.

    So I'm glad to see Del taking the place over, it's nicer outcome than EoFF being shut down, or being sold off to some random bozo that just wants to utilise it in their ad network.

    All the love in the world for Del and I'm sure the place is in good hands but I'll go on record saying that had you bought it I would have been gladly welcoming our new Aeris avaterd overlord.

    Didn't they try that a long time ago? Doesn't work these days anyway, everyone has ublock origin now.

    But it really did seem simpler on here. No facebook or snapsits or whatever. Just text, sigs, and non-posturing people.

    I think I'd have fit in as well haha. The new FF7 remaster really did Aerith justice. And we're finally done with the Aerith or Aeris discussion. So that's nice.

    Del, Murder Eyes on Final Fantasy, it's gone on too long.

    Like so many, I honestly haven't really been on here for a long time. I think periodically I post about sports though not sure how that happened on a final fantasy fansite but is what it is.

    I'm glad to see it'll still keep going onward and onward. Like so many said, there are a lot of memories archived here still and it gives me joy to know they'll continue to exist somewhere in the ether.

    Congrats Tony. Maybe this will be the year for your A's too.

    And thanks to Daniel for all your years of helming the good ship EoFF.

    Take care all!

    I only asked two people who were both on staff. Murd reached out to me. Although I must admit he's probably my first choice of those that weren't on staff but I didn't want to go out of my way to give the site to someone who wasn't on staff, so made the thread instead. Murd just PM'ed me.

    Never had a problem with you on staff that I can recall!

    Well this is a welcome surprise. Congrats to Murd on the new ownership! And a huge round of applause to BoB for stewarding things since like forever ago.

    Thanks everyone! I'll try not to break anything. At least, no more than I did in my first stint as admin. I'll have some more to say later when my kids aren't begging me to play pokemon with them...
