I've been with FP for about 60% of my life, And would have been happy to spend another 10 years, but I guess this is the end. I've met most of my friends here, learned a lot about almost anything and everything, its pulled me through really depressive episodes, helped me come to terms with my sexuality/feelings, helped me find cool communities to be apart of, and changed my world views towards racism and homophobia that I had as a kid due to my upbringing. I wont be heading to KO due to several reasons, but I hope everyone continues to have fun there as well.
It's been a very great community to be a part of, and it has always left an impact on my life.
Also if garry doesn't delete FP tomorrow, fuck you
i am in de n i l e
I guess bye. Wish I had made more friends here. I'll try knockout but I have the feeling it won't be the same.
Here is my final tribute

As bad as the end
Garry wants to shut down the forum because he thinks it's not worth it. Some people started making an alternative to switch to after garry pulled the plug for a few days. Recently he made a post asking whether he should shut down facepunch, to which most people said no, and now he's decided to do it anyway.
He's always had an apathetic attitude towards the forum. Shame he doesn't have any heart invested in it. Never really enjoyed his attitude towards anything. Not sure anyone really does.
At least we can all congregate somewhere else
Really, the controlled anarchy of forums was what made them good. Just by existing, upvotes and downvotes kinda soured Reddit and made it naturally prone to hiveminds and circlejerks (e.g. t_d), and half the content is just attention-seeking and karma-farming. That and subreddits are so distinctly different, and there are so many of them with radically different intentions, that it's impossible to create a large-scale community like Facepunch.
Been here for a very long time. Not been very active lately but started posting a lot more in the past few months. I'll be seeing ya on the other side.
I was excited at the prospect of S&box breathing new life into the forum, but I guess that won't ever happen now. Is S&box still being developed or was it just a test project?
MURPH DONT LET ME LEAVE MURPH AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH NNNNNOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Catch you later.
Guess I gotta' make a Knockout account now. There's no account transfer or anything, right?
Pretty sure there is in some fashion, I forget the specifics since I signed up like two months ago lol

Cheers to Facepunch and this account, I'll see you on Knockout.
Well, guess this is it fellas, it's been fun lurking, hopefully I'll learn to actually post on Knockout
See you on the other side
Another lurker. Been here since I was a kid, really.
You guys are alright. Shame that this is coming to an end, but on Knockout I guess parts will continue.
Love you all <3
I've already gone on about my memories on here, and the impact Facepunch has had on my life, so I'll keep it brief with a 2012-2019 on my end. To think this whole period of Newpunch would coincide with my decision to study abroad, facing the tribulation that is living by myself in a dorm, whilst the website deteriorated. All of this going on just as my final exams for this semester are going on, that just makes it rotten.
If I could think of any, I'd post a translated quote from some fitting piece of Serbian literature, but my mood's got me down. So all I'll say is that I hope that this isn't a goodbye, but rather, a see you again. Knocked out am I, but activity is to be seen.
Za sve moja braća sa Balkana, a najviše iz bivše Jugoslavije, nadam se da čemo se ponovo vidini. Samo napred, bre! Doviđenja!
Diamonds for everybody!
my only regret is not making that gundam mega thread and that 3D Custom Girl mega thread. perhaps ill make it on knockout instead.

I don't go on the internet for feels why have you done this to me facepunch
I'm not really convinced until garry posts about it.

This was probably already posted a couple times in here but it's the best thing I can think of.
Farewell, Facepunch. You carried me through middle school. And high school. And to today i've been on almost every single day.
I hope to see KO thrive, but it will still sincerely hurt to see this place go. Take care, everybody.
Bold of you to assume Garry would ever come out and give everyone a definitive statement and not just keep everyone in the shadow until he randomly decides to pull the plug.
No there is not
gdpr issues would prevent it
You really think he would be genuine enough to do that? Especially for folks who have been around all these years in support. Shame really.
through all the bans and fights i've always considered this place the one community i was happy to be a part of even if all i did was lurk or shitpost. god bless every one of you mongoloids
8 whole years...
Facepunch has been my internet home for 8 whole years.
I've grown into the person I've become now due in part to all the souls I've met here on this site. Expanding my worldview, reflecting upon my decisions, growing my maturity and all around trying to be a better person.
From mid/late high school, all throughout college and now into my working career. Facepunch has been there for me.
It's insane that its going to end here.
But if there's anything that I can stay hopeful for, its that I'll see you beautiful people on Knockout.
Our last hope, our last home. Godspeed Knockout, Goodspeed Facepunch.
