rip and bye, this place tried to steer me into being less of an idiot. Well I'm still an idiot but with a little more control, so nothing has really changed lol.
We'll all see each other again eventually. but until then, It's been fun.
reminder to save your shit.

so long, space cowpunch...
You guys got me through six years in the military, and I'm still surprised it was never blocked.
Peace.
I’ll miss the fuck outta this place and lurking on all your nerds. Godspeed ;-;7
Pretty crazy I managed to stick around lurking until the end. RIP boys.
I've posted in this place for 12 goddamn years. I'll be moving to knockout if this place truly does go under. It'd be nice if it stays up instead though.
I'm sure going to miss the feel of this website. Knockout just doesn't feel the same.
Well, if this is going to be my last post I might as well post this.

RIP
Life sucks and it's over.
Can't believe I joined when I was 11 years old to shitpost in the TF2 Subforum and now I'm graduating HS this week, still shitposting but in SH instead
It's been a long ride, it's okay though Facepunch, we're just getting on another plane, this one had to refuel anyway.
Bye.
For over 10 years this forum has been my internet home. See you all on the other side.

First and last post.
I feel bad for lurking so hard while users are declining.
Hope I'll get over my posting anxiety on KO.
Hope to see you all there.
No other community quite like this one.
Lurking Facepunch made me learn about a shit ton of stuff I would have had a hard time finding out about on my own.
Be it from the news threads people posted because they actually found the stuff interesting, the posters in said news/video threads who could share their expertise on the subject, or those people posting about a shred of their lifestory in the hopes that someone would learn from it. It all beats browsing a random news feed because the stuff you could read here wasn't written for a paycheck, it was written because posters genuinely cared about the subject.
It also felt worthwhile to make high-effort posts here, since a thread wouldn't be wiped the moment it isn't bumped enough, or buried and forgotten because you didn't get enough upvotes to please the masses.
Yet 7 years later I still lurk whatever forums I am on instead of joining in on the discussion on subjects I'm not well versed in. I'd chalk it up to spending half of my time here as an Amerifat in Nederland, but I hope I can change that in the following few years, I think the stuff that'll happen soon for me will make me more confident in such things.
This forum has been just the right size and layout for a long time to make this all possible, even when garry fucked up the forum with his vision of a Reddit knockoff.
I hope that Knockout will be able to inherit this wonderful community well, guess we'll see in the next few days.
If you want to talk about FP, life, games, or weird stuff like being a foreigner in the Netherlands, hit me up on Steam, Discord Robotnik#5379, or Knockout Robotnik whenever it has pms.
Might as well get it off the bucket list.

Goodbye bois. I loved coming out of my shell slowly to reveal what I love and having a great community here. All you guys are great and I hope you go on to do great things.
My discord is MattChewy#9105.
I'll be on Knockout too!
I regret none of the time I've spent on Facepunch since 2009
Well, I had a post queued up before the forums briefly went down. Since I have no clue whether or not we'll still be here when I get back from work, I'll keep this brief.
I remember making my account in February 2007 after using my brother's account to lurk since 2005. I was thirteen years old and in the midst of public school. Now I'm 25 and a man grown.
Facepunch is an institution for me - one of only two sites that I still regularly come to ten years on. It's a representation of what used to be the primary means of communicating on the internet. Coming here is like taking a step back into a simpler time.
I'm gonna miss it.
Godspeed you all, I'll be seeing you on the other side.
It was a nice timewaster, lurking in here almost 8 eight years.
glad I went to that FP meetup, a part of me must've known it was the last
Please don't make me cry
I've never had a home online like this before.
But I guess we all have to leave home at some point.
From the bottom of my heart - thank you all.
I hope we meet again.
Ever since I started lurking in the forums in High School, I've opened it probably every single day for the years since then. I can't think of any other site on the internet more real than this one right here, and I don't expect that to change for Knockout.
I'll see all you fucks on the other side.
Y'know, I've been sitting here for about 10 minutes, trying to think of something witty or poignant to say, but I just can't.
I wouldn't be who I am today without this place, for better and for worse. And despite all the pissing, the moaning and the banning, I'd do it all over again.
See you on Knockout, boys. Here's to starting over.
