Farewell to NSider
Today the first real forum I ever joined was closed.
The Nintendo NSider Forums.

Some people are trying to organize a comeback, and several forums have emerged:

*sighs* NSider may be gone, but the memories shall remain ever in our hearts (and, if you saved stuff, our hard drives).
I had some of the greatest times on NSider, back in the glory days of True Masses. I met some of my greatest friends on those threads, and I still treasure those friendships to this day.
A great injustice has been wreaked on the world, a forum, though years past its prime, has fallen to an unknown cause.
Many friendships, relationships, and enemies were made on this forum. Many tales were told on NSider, no more shall they be read. Some tales may have only appeared there, and now they are lost to the winds of the Internet.
With the lack of warning of destruction, many friendships may have been lost to the abyss. People that only were able to speak on NSider shall be able to speak no more, their voices forever silenced.
While NSider might have been decaying under the spread of SPAM and ignorance, there were still golden times to have had, still users that stood above the rest.
I know, without a doubt, that NSider has changed my life.
I have made friends that I have been able to rely on in times of need. I care very much for my NSider friends, all of them are precious to me. My NSider friends have taught me things about life, valuable lessons to be learned. My NSider friends have the gift of laughter, many a night spent chuckling over various forms of nonsense.
My NSider friends taught me to RP. Their gentle guidance and high standards helped me push myself to become better and better, each post to outdo the next.
Along with teaching me the basics of RPing, another thing comes with this, typing speed. Because of the RPs and my excitement to see what lay ahead, I slowly learned to type faster and faster, more accurately than before. This, in itself, is a valuable skill that pertains to the real world and beyond.
Another gift that came with the gift of RPing is writing. Because my NSider friends taught me to RP, I gained the confidence to start writing fanfiction, you can see the evidence of that here on this very forum. Along with this gift is the gift of creativity. Because of the knowledge of RPing, I have been able to come up with interesting stories, even if they are a bit bizarre at times.
The gift of RPing has not only lead to writing and creativity, but also a furthering and creating of friendships. If I had not learned to RP, I would not have made some of the friends I did, and still value today, whether they are from NSider or other sites.
RPing has also brought me the gift of Kingdom Hearts. A user that I met on NSider, through RPing, finally got me the inspiration to go out and get a PS2 and Kingdom Hearts. Because of this, I have been exposed to fantastic worlds and characters that I would have missed out on otherwise. Because of Kingdom Hearts, I have experienced wonderous adventures, and in discussing the events that have occured or RPing as the characters that appeared, I have made many more friends.
There are other things my NSider friends have brought me, but talking about them is very emotional, even more so now that NSider has been ripped from our grasp.
Many a tale I could tell you about NSider, be it making friends, my first encounters with certain users, RPing all the day and night, reading fanfics and sprite comics, discussing whether or not I am really Samus (My Sister's fault XD), SPAM and harmful users that I have encountered (some encounters that still make me unhappy to this day), nonsense with NOA_SHAUN, fun at Camp Hyrule, discussing obsessions with games/characters/items...
