To be honest, I never really thought about the Forums shutting down. After all, it did shut down multiple times during its long run, but it always came back. When I found out this was really the end, I was a bit shell shocked.
The reality is DSGHQ was extremely important to my childhood and personal growth. I’ve been able to accomplish a lot of my academic success, find my personal interests, largely due to the community I found here. Lots of my long term friendships surfaced over here as well.
Even if OldCP stays up, the Forums being gone will always be a bit depressing. Even now, where I am no longer active in this community, came on here every now and then to write a weird status update. It will feel hollow without this place.
Nonetheless, I am eternally grateful for this community and forums. Through my insane highs (which were a lot, I felt truly happy a lot of times growing up here) and lows (which were also sometimes frequent, and scary), I have no regrets about joining this community. Thank you everyone for these years
