It has always annoyed the tits off me.  On reflection I look down and think 'I got some cracking tits' but it is annoying

Farewell!

Wow this is such a trip.... I lurked this forum without ever registering for over 9 years and was in love with battlefield 2. Looking back, my freshman to sophmore summer was the first time I stumbled upon this site. I was linked here because I was trying to find out how to become an uber leet heli pilot and stumbled upon someones thread with a video. Little did I know that bf2 and bf2s would be one of my only refuges as a bout of mental illness started to plaugue me in my early teens. Hopping on bf2 and then reading the forums gave me my only sense of community during those terrible times when my life started falling apart.

It was such a tragedy for me to see bf2 start to falter after a couple awful patches. Public play became almost impossible with those unforgiveable hitboxes and the CLU chopper server became my go to playing server.

As bf2 started to pass so did the bf2s forum. It was always so interesting to watch daily posters start to slowly disappear. Also watching the shenanigans of fancy pollux, the group of guys with the ORLY owl avatars, Kmal, the mods being hilarious, and that tall guy... Cougar? I was always in awe when I would see someone like baby spinach, viper, or the other generals post. Ranking up to those guys' level in bf2 was one of the only things That kept me going when everything in life was worthless.

Unfortunatly my bf2 obsession became a way for me to hide from my problems and a hefty addiction started to form. After a bout of bad behavior And unsattisfying play I snapped my disk in two and vowed never to play again. I would still lurk the forums for hours for years afterwards until about 5 years ago.

Anywho besides an enormous amount of nostalgia- now Im a college grad with a degree in science interning at a clinic and pursuing my dreams. I now also have my mental issues in order. I played call of duty pretty regularly for a year or two but nothing can even shine a light on what bf2 was. Absolutely the best action online video game to ever be made. It was so addictively immersive. No other game developer has even come close.

While most of you never even knew you had an impact on others, always know that your actions helped someone who was in some serious shit. So thanks

It was always a pleasure entering this unique little zone of the internet.

Ps- always thought ken jennings was the best poster.  Smart guy....Keep it real brotha

Crowd fund the thing if you guys want to keep it going.
