Garry's song and dance of creating a thread just to poke and goad the community with "Oh yeah, you want me to shut this down, right? Is that what you want?" is petty bullshit. Him saying "you had six months of warning" is bullshit, and him dragging out this process with no clear communication is bullshit. It sucks that Garry doesn't care anymore, but a more mature person would have managed this differently regardless of how they personally felt. The stark contrast between how Garry is handling these forums vs how Lowtax has recently struggled with what to do with SA is a sight to see.
SA banded together on Patreon to get Lowtax 13k a month to cover forum costs, and to help his ever growing medical debt. Facepunch will be shut down on a random day in mid June after months of awful communication, the last post from its founder being "what if I make these forums worse until you move over to knockout"
Shits whack, man
the new forums sucked
I joined in 2015 specifically to talk about Kerbal Space Program somewhere that isn't goddamned reddit. Became one of my favorite internet spots, even if I wasn't a prolific poster. I'll miss you, KSP, Space Engineers, Elite, Elder Scrolls, Warthunder, and especially Undertale and Warframe threads.

my dream has finally come true, always wanted to spread the word around
Akbar
Akbar, a powerful vampire, was burnt when the Mother and Father,
Akasha and Enkil, were put into the sun. He resides in Antioch, in
search of the Mother and Father, and leaves his victims on the steps of
the Temple.
Akbar threatens to kill Pandora unless Marius allows him to see
and drink from the ancient couple. He drains Pandora to near death
before Marius allows him to see the Mother and Father, and is later
destroyed by Akasha when he attempts to drink from her.

Azim
Azim was one of the older vampires. He ruled as a god for a
thousand years in a secret temple in the Himalayas, where those who went
to worship him never returned alive.
He conducted disturbing rituals and entices Pandora to
participate in them in return for Marius' location (when Marius gets
trapped in the ice after Akasha awakens).
Akasha spares him during her worldwide slaughter, but for a
purpose. She sees him as the ultimate symbol of vampire evil and
explodes his body in front of human witnesses.

Daniel Molloy
Daniel was the recorder of Louis' confession that later became
the story Interview with the Vampire. Born in 1955, Daniel comes across
Armand in 1975, after he had recorded Louis' story.
He becomes Armand's mortal companion, but conflicts drive them
apart. Armand continually refuses Daniel's requests for immortality.
Daniel turns to alcohol and becomes a mortal recipient of the
dream of the twins. In 1985, Armand gives Daniel (who is dying) immortal
life. He survives Akasha's worldwide slaughter of vampires.

Druid Vampire (God of the Grove)
The Druid Vampire, also known as the God of the Grove, was kept
in an oak tree by the Druids to preside over their harvest and to ensure
the fertility of their land. He was badly burnt when Akasha and Enkil
were placed in the sun, and as a result of his weakened state, the
Druids went in search for another god.
The Druids abduct Marius and return him to their god, who
subsequently makes Marius a vampire. He is destroyed by the Druids when
he tries to accompany Marius in search of reasons as to why so many
vampires where burnt.

Elder
An ancient Egyptian vampire, the Elder was the guardian of Akasha
and Enkil prior to Marius. He was the cause of vampires everywhere
being burnt (himself included), when he placed the ancient couple in the
sun.
He does this to test the legend that the preservation or
destruction of Akasha and Enkil is the determinant in the survival of
the vampire race.
When Marius comes to remove the ancient couple from the Elder's care, the Elder becomes enraged and is killed by Akasha.
http://i.imgur.com/vuzpF.jpg
Eric
Eric was made a vampire by Maharet around BC1000 at the mortal
age of thirty. He survives Akasha's worldwide slaughter due to his
immortal age of three thousand years and is one of the immortals that
gather at Sonoma to stand against Akasha.
http://i.imgur.com/U4IQH.jpg
Flavius
Flavius is a one-legged Greek mortal slave who Pandora falls in
love with in Antioch. He becomes Pandora's companion and protector even
after she is made a vampire.
To the disgust of Marius, Pandora makes Flavius a vampire as he
lay on his deathbed riddled with disease. He was forty years old.
When Marius discovers what Pandora has done, he sends Flavius
away. Before he left, Flavius thanked Pandora for the immortality she
gave him.

Foundation Patriot
She was a peasant. She would go outside during the day in search
of victims. Once, she approached a man carrying bread, she striked,
sucking his fore-arm in order for him to drop the bread roll.She then,
in the role of men in her step, remove the pan and press the bread with
the smoke of his ability. During Badage droughts, she would feast upon
her own brain. Badage drought in your brain, she woke up.

Laurent
Laurent is a vampire Baby Jenks meets during Akasha's worldwide
slaughter of vampires. He is killed during this event. (He may or may
not be the same Laurent from Armand's first Parisian coven — this is
unclear.
http://i.imgur.com/YITrj.jpg
Madeleine
Madeleine was a Parisian doll maker who Claudia chose to be her
mother and protector when Claudia feared Louis would leave her for
Armand.
She was killed by Armand's coven, together with Claudia, the same
year she was given immortal life. She had lost a child near Claudia's
age when Louis made her a vampire, in 1862. Madeleine was the first
vampire made by Louis.

Magnus
Magnus, the maker of Lestat, gave himself immortality during the
1400s when he trapped a vampire and stole blood from it. He chose to
make Lestat a vampire because of his courage.
On the same night he made Lestat a vampire, during the year 1780,
he destroyed himself in a fire, leaving Lestat alone to discover and
learn about his immortality.

The Woop-Town Supper
There was might in the whole world of the same face deers even
when the metro man dances in the moon light and continues to splash fish
in the water in an attempt to play some ball.

The Jenikens Chronicle
Also know as the Master of Supper in the nether regions. His head
head would be imploded if the crisp the crops during the Badage civil
wars. The Akasha used to use the gamers ass soer weapons because the
butter on the boot would have even more then the yearsd of the yatke.

The Master of Might
The Nabonidus Chronicle is an ancient Babylonian text, part of a
larger series of Babylonian Chronicles incribed in cuneiform script on
clay tablets. It deals primarily with the reign of Nabonidus, the last
king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, covers the conquest of Babylon by the
Persian king Cyrus the Great and ends with the start of the reign of
Cyrus's son Cambyses, spanning a period from 556 BC to some time after
539 BC. It provides a rare contemporary account of Cyrus's rise to power
and is the main source of information on this period;[1] Amélie Kuhrt
describes it as "the most reliable and sober [ancient] account of the
fall of Babylon."[2]

He is thought to combat large spiked black zombies who use baked
potatoes as a lube to make their eyes work ffaster. It was unsure why he

The Nasty Banquote
She was born in Châteauroux in 1954. She remained there for
eighteen months. During her childhood, with her three brothers and
sisters, she moved from city to city, depending on the assignments her
sub-prefect father received.
In 1976 she was awarded a Master of Philosophy by the Sorbonne,
Paris, and in 1978 went on to complete an MA in philosophy and
aesthetics at Université de Paris X - Nanterre. There, too, she
completed a doctorate in philosophy in 1981. During those years she
studied with a teacher she admires, Emmanuel Levinas, and her work
focussed on the notion of asceticism in Christian mysticism.

Fill me full of lead in my ass crack
Really sad to see that this is really possibly the end, FP has been part of my life for the last 10 years or so.
Godspeed to all you beautiful bastards.
i enjoyed lurking on facepunch for 7 years now, it made me grow as an individual and i will love you all
Close down this shit hole for good
RIP.
I'll miss this site, but not really.
Ripperoni facepunch. You used to be good, but then you weren't. And shortly you'll be dead.
I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow.
See ya I guess
Joined for PHX; stayed for the memes.

Thanks for bullying me for eleven years.
I love you all, it's been a pleasure
wish i didnt refrequent fp very late, yall buncha cool fellas
its been a good run
I've been lurking here forever since 2010 at least and it's been a wild ride. It's such a unique site and i'm sad to see it go in such a spectacularly shitty way. I'm hoping everyone will just migrate over to Knockout and carry on like nothing happened but meh, we'll see. You're all awesome, stay gold.
Oh boy an era of lurking and not posting a word finally comes to a close.
Time to go onto knockout and do more of the same.
Real shame that Garry had to be a baby about all of this.

Greetings from Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick.
I want to inform you that Stanley and I conducted a secret experiment using quantum entanglement and telepathy to communicate with an interface. Aliens do indeed exist in another realm now and the Akashic Records. The interface with GOD/ Grand Galactics and aliens is on Facebook. Although, he has not seen the aliens physically, he talks to the ones that have lost their forms in evolution. This experiment was so secret, that even the United States government did not know about it. Stanley insisted on the independence and secrecy of the project. Namely, talking with the dead and/or aliens. It brings me great joy and pleasure to inform you that the experiment was a total success. The interface’s telepathy with us has verifiable proof on Facebook and he is willing to undergo a battery of tests and scrutiny to show his evolution to a higher state of consciousness. No other private or governmental agencies have been successful in talking to formless aliens, Grand Galactics / GOD. Our interface is a Photographer, United States Marine, Artist, Underwater Explorer, Aviation Technician, Lawyer, Humanities major and has direct DNA links to Shamans and Rulers at Gobekli Tepe , Anatolian / Armenian Kings , Biblical Heroes and interestingly for Stanley, he is also related to Napoleon, Jefferson, Franklin and one of the interface’s favorite minds, Tesla. Aliester Crowley/ 666 was also instrumental in the evolutionary development of the telepath’s higher state of consciousness. Erdogan and Aliyev are now branded with the mark of the Beast / 666. We are also at the opening of the Fifth Seal in Revelations from John of Patmos.

it's been a great 9 years.
damn. this sucks.
see y'all around
hi it's my first post on newpunch, how is everybody?
Fuck MacDGuy
I made Basewars
Blackface is bad
I got a degree in computer science because of Garry's Mod.
Garry is a dumb-dumb for thinking discord and reddit is the future of internet communities.
The world is gonna fucking end, might as well get used to losing the things we love.
give me all your diamonds
I didn't want to make a sappy last post but it's the end times, so anything goes.
I wished we could still stay here. I've got so many memories of this place (and I'm sure I live in someone's memories as well), this place basically raised me from a brat to a completelly fucked up member of society, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Even though I left for college in 09, I kept lurking here and there, posting only when I got angry at people online, but never really being able to leave. I'd end up clicking on that bookmark out of boredom, and that kept me going until now. I wonder what I'm going to do next!
I've put my email on my profile if anyone wants to say hello or goodbye. I'm not gonna make the transition to KO, but I wanted to give kudos to a couple of people that over the years I feel deserve it, regardless of my ghost status or not:
@Hezzy I've always respected the enormous amount of effort you've put into this community at the cost of your personal time. You've always been a beacon of hope for FP, and things always turned out for the worse when you left. I hope to buy you a beer some next time I'm in the UK, if not you can just take my contribution to the FP fund to fund yourself a week of beer!
@Craptasket everyone who says you're a bad mod needs to go fuck themselves, you've always been a straightshooter when the mod team was filled with insanity, luv u
@postal your ass became an internet sensation, if that's not an achievement in life I don't know what can be. I hope to contribute to JB3 at some point when I have more free time
@KmartSqrl I still have fond memories of your gmod server! Simpler times, to be sure.
and now I've ran out of usernames that still exist
@appox I still remember when you set me up with android ROMs. that snowballed a little bit I'd say, considering I ended up coding for android :P
@TheKnife @rifles thanks for the fond memories in xfire and supcom one day I'll start protips again
@Cheeez thanks for the pacificv2 song. I still link it when people can't pronounce my name
@drive_the_hive @pr3dator you guys were alright, I hope life finds you well.
All the mods involved in the mod riddles. That shit was great, I'm still proud today of the little shitty riddle we did
a generalized thumbs up to #gmod on gamesurge, @Frogger , gorge, ukgam3r the whole shebang, those were probably the most fun days of my internet life
@shotgunmaniac my goathilarity webspace has stopped working DECADES ago you gave me the WORST host imaginable and I hope you're well man
@dragon WAKE UP
gmf OGs
@mikfoz for being old and helping me with the gmod site back then, I grew considerably and learned how to pee in seas of piss comfortably thanks to you.
anyone who thought 06ers were shit
to everyone I've forgotten (MY DEMENTIA IS EVER-ENCOMPASSING)
and a final shoutout to @garry , without these forums I'm sure I'd be a totally different person. Regardless of what's gonna happen in the future, thanks for putting up with the whole community for so long. I hope to visit the FP offices at some point and also buying you a beer!
Well, to all, bon voyage, and best of luck in your future endeavors!
Wouldn't be where I am now without Facepunch.
I regret I can't remember your name, but thank you human who struggled through my 100kb skype connection to help me model a D Battery in an ancient version of 3ds Max. Without that little push and glimmer of hope, I wouldn't have gone down the path that led me to getting a degree and an actual job doing something I don't hate after giving up and condemning myself to being a useless human.
Thank you to the photography community, who provided so much inspiration. I regret not taking it more seriously, sticking to it and most of all I regret that one homophobic comment I made in haste that garnered me a lot of hate from one individual who took it bad and got me banned from the Facebook group. I still think about that regularly and I'm sorry, truly.
Thank you Facepunch, but fuck you Garry Newman.
Sorry, you need to Log In to post a reply to this thread.
