I am curious as to what your thoughts are on this subject, you can't make this topic and not give your input.

~what does the ATHQ mean to your's truly? *reflects* the digital realm is an amazing thing, & with the advent of online gaming - the possibilities of who or what we desire to be become more accessible & acceptable, some would claim escapism but i would venture further to say mental liberation.. =. i have visited forums & have met many wonderful folks during my travels, & notice that similarities of our "RL" world are reflected here to some extent..

empires rise & fall, like dynasties of ancient China, & with these eyes - i see the makings of another that is on the rise, though i wish to add an element in hopes of preventing what ensnared others' downfall in times before.. =.

there is no question as to the grace of this forum ~ all that have participated & created its dominion have done well.. there are few forums in existence that have the character that this forum has & it is well earned, for many veterans are within its ranks.. ^^ the reason i created this thread is simple ~ communication, to better have an understanding of what we perceive this forum to be..

...

it is of no surprise that changes have emerged within the ATHQ, what was once a singular online game has now turned to several ~ the industry is changing to accomodate the demand of online gaming...while it's true that PsO shall be marked as the 1st truly successful online console game, that will change greatly in times ahead ~ no doubt about it.. =.

final fantasy online...this game sparks the change & in a sense, this is a good learning experience for the tribe ~ to help us not to get completely wrapped up in a singular element; also, to help us adapt to multiple games while holding the sense of unity that we all seem to cherish.. the downfall of other online communities always followed a similar pattern ~ lack of communication.. without communication, there is no balance & without balance, unwanted gossip & speculation emerge; if taken to extremes, then the foundation crumbles under its own weight ~ leading to an untimely end.. =.

to put it simply ~ i like the ATHQ & i am honored to know many of the folks here (& that includes Crushinator too *pokes* ;p) with all that is written in this thread, perhaps we can all put our worries to rest & move forward with our eyes open; for no matter what game we play, no matter how distant we may seem ~ we can always return home with a click of a mouse..

note* - yah, i'm unorthodox ~ so what? ;)
