The end of TPM?

[firepokemon]

I don't want TPM to shut down now and I use to say TPM should shut down merely to be a dickhead. I would shut it down if somehow it was only me here but otherwise no. Even if it grows a real slow death regardless of anything else it'll still exist in five years.

The truth is I can survive rather easily without TPm having had to do so for a few months now. I still enjoy the place and the nostalgia and I still think we can continue to exist. Sure I'd miss the place. But if TPM went now I wouldn't cry about it. I do other stuff online and of course there is off-line activities.I likely wouldn't keep in touch with anyone except maybe via IRC. I don't use instant messengers anymore or anything like that and no one contacts me if I'm on one anyway.

BTW Andrew Tara = Pancake? Soo = mistysakura??? who are the other two?

Meh, I don't see much sense in closing TPM. Like it has been said before in this topic, what is there to gain by closing TPM? We may as well just let TPM live out it's life naturally, if it does eventually die, then I suppose at least it will go out on its own terms. But as long as there is a glimmer of life here, I think that it is worth hanging on to it. Don't get me wrong though, I am not saying we should just let TPM fade off and die, I think that we all should try our best to improve things as long as we are all here.

That being said, I would be sad if TPM would disappear. This place is my online home, There is no message board that I have even come close to spending as much time at, and if TPM were to go away, I just know that there would never be a place that would be as special to me. I have almost been here for 9 years. I couldn't even imagine starting a 9-year run at another message board. I'm getting too old, you know? That being said, I would love to keep in contact with my TPM friends if TPM died, but unfortunately people seem to eventually disappear in the online world. There are so many people from here who I simply have no idea what happened to them. I would love to hear from them again sometime.

As for what I would do without TPM... it is hard to say that my real life would change a ton, I mean, I don't spend so much time on TPM that it causes me to do nothing but sit in front of my computer all day, but I spend enough time here to still feel like I am a part of the community. I am sure that real life will keep me busy enough!! I would be sad without TPM, and I am sure that I would still reminisce about it once in awhile throughout the rest of my life. I know that everything comes to an end someday, but I hope that TPM's ending isn't something that I have to worry about for a long time.

Soo = mistysakura??? who are the other two?

mistysakura is Ada, and Soo is Kirei (she went by "Bugsy" before changing her name to Kirei.)
