One day, everything we've said and done here will be erased and forgotten. Hours, days, weeks, months, years we've spent together will be deleted by the mindless streetsweeper of the web. Each word, our memories, will be gone forever. Evidence of friendships once forged, fights once fought, the community we built, all irretrievably revoked: no return. And someday after that, perhaps a lifetime, the last of us will have a last idle thought back towards the friends they knew closely but never met. They will wonder at the fates of whatshername and whomever, wonder whether they ever achieved their dreams, ever made a mark on the world. But searching will yield no results... there simply is no "Autumnwolf17" any longer, and no proof there ever was. It is every life's dream to live beyond it's death in some manner, to be remembered for something, some validation that each triumph was worth the blood. I want for each of you to earn your legacy, but will Vortex Wars be a part of it? It's a fond memory at best, something you'll think of when you sit down and reflect on the past.
Someday, someone will type the final words ever to be spoken on this site. Will they know they are signing off for all of us? Will we go gentle into that goodnight?
I call dibs.
