So, we're moving. A few minutes, a few hours, a few days - doesn't matter. We're packing up and moving on in the world. Remember leaving GameSpot? I was kinda late coming her, actually. I didn't care enough to come. But now, well... I can't imagine not coming here. MUCH better than GameSpot. I've tried making forums before, but for all its flaws... I loved it here.

And that's because of YOU.

...

No, not you, YOU.

...

Alright, fine all of you, whatever. In fact, lemme take a walk down memory lane with you guys...

Toadsie. Toadsie, Toadsie, Toadsie. You were my first real internet bro, actually. We're buds. Knuckle punch? Yeah, you're up for that. PeteyU was, honestly, Pre-Alpha Version of Kirby5Star from my point of view. A few guys BSing around the vague pretense of a Nintendo forum... it died, I hopped on to your forum, you brought me to K5S, the rest is history. And I love ya, man. We go way back, and with this next step, we'll keep stickin' for a while. You're a laugh-riot and a pretty smart guy on top of things. So, yeah. I like you.

Now, pikaby is another case. Out of the guys here, you're pretty much next on the list, methinks. You run K5S. And you've always kept us in-line, mostly. Because you have DEDICATION. You want something to work and you make it work by deadline. It's impressive - I don't have HALF the work ethic you do. Need graphics? They're done. Wait, there's a problem! Fixed. Bam. You're right there. Never too far off, you always keep us grounded - and with a crazy bunch of asses like this, well, that can be tough to do. Cheers.

CRAZ... I don't even know what to say. Known you since about the same time as the others, and, well, you're great. An oddball among oddballs, but you're great. Always there (though not quite there) to say something pithy, spawn some new meme, or generally be... amusing. Not quite funny, not quite dramatic... just, y'know, fun. It's hard to describe. To imagine a forum without your j00s and deshous is the gateway to madness.

DG - before we moved, honestly, I don't remember much of you, other than your presence. I believe we were first introduced a short while before packing up and coming here, so that makes sense, eh? You're the only other American here (among the regulars, at least), but, there's more than that. I think we really are quite similar - you say what I want to say, but you say it first and say it... well, I would say it better, but you do a good job, too. Similar tastes (but not identical) and similar personalities... you almost remind me of a certain other member. Though you're more the Vegeta to my Goku than the Tullece, if you understand what I just said, which I mostly don't.

And last but not least (well, yes, least, but you know what I mean), Pokefreak. I don't remember you at ALL from pre-ActiveBoard, so if I met you, like, before everyone else, sorry, you never made an impression on me. Here, though, I feel like I've really gotten to... not know you, but, how do you say, remember you. You've gone from "Generic Guy X" to "Part of the Club." So, welcome to the winner's circle, champ - as far as I'm concerned, you're one of us now. With that certain annoying charm that a group thrives on, really.

As for everyone else... **** y'all for not posting. Well, Slyfur kinda posted, so, no **** for you - hopefully you don't read this OR the thread where I call you Cat Hitler (it's much better than it sounds), though. Oath_X, well, I don't mind you much, actually, despite your BEING A PIRATE you're not that bad, so, **** revoked. And Chimecho, too. Though I don't remember you getting that massive count. And wasn't there someone else at the start, too? Pikachukirby, was it? You get half a ****. You can have a CK. Post moar.

So, as we big goodbye, I lay some memes to rest - my textual arms/legs, and all non-textual limbs other than the main four, will be buried alongside this forum. Green will leave a lock of hair, though he's coming along, methinks. The Soda Popinski is being dropping libations of the soda for the pretty pinky forum, though Soda Popinski is hoping Soda Popinski is being coming, too. And now and forever I release utterance - "DG is a sexy sequence of textual cues!" "**** **** ****ity **** **** **** yeah censorship!" "Uncle Toadsie must read a story!" "I can just imagine pikaby walking through the ruins of the forum after tonight!" "Pokefreak - YOU ARE THE BITCH!" "AND WE MUST BE GRATEFUL TO CRAZ'S ANTICS!"

So, thanks to all of you for being awesome, on these boards and, I would bet, on the next ones - because, the good and the bad, the activity and the doldrums, and everything between, Kirby 5-Star is NOTHING without all of you.

With that, I say goodbye to this forum. A sign of the cross, a tip of the hat, a firm salute, and a fond farewell!
