My Final Goodbye to everyone

[Astaroth]

Hey everyone some of you might know me and some of you probably dont by i have been around for 10-19 years on this side of the web and i have spent a few years here off and on for a long time and over time starting making some friends and the admin was nice enough to let me give him a hand and worked as a team which i am very thankful for.

Due to how things are going on this side of the web in the past 2-3 Years its my time to retire and remember this side of the web and the way it used to be not how it is now.

Long Live The Shield!

Wow, Shields, this hits hard. After all these years, seeing you hang up your shield is genuinely bittersweet.

For those who might not know (or only caught glimpses), Shields has been one of those rare constants on this side of the web — the kind of presence that doesn’t just post, but actively shapes the community behind the scenes. I still remember when the admin brought you on, and it instantly felt like the place had another anchor. You helped keep things running smoothly, often without fanfare, and that’s something a lot of us have always appreciated, even if we didn’t say it enough.

The web has changed, and not always for the better. I get what you mean about wanting to remember it as it was — the golden days of genuine connection, tight-knit forums, and a shield that actually meant something. Your decision to step back now, on your own terms, deserves nothing but respect.

You’ll be missed around here, mate. Thank you for everything you’ve done over the years — the small fixes, the late-night moderation runs, and just being a solid friend to so many of us.

Long Live The Shield!

Take care of yourself out there, and don’t be a stranger if you ever feel like dropping by. The door’s always open.
