I think this is a goodbye.

[Ryon]

In the operating room we have a quote that we tell all our patients family members.

"It's NEVER a goodbye, It's a see you later"

However I feel my time here on MFFA is up.

Being the creator of the site, watching it turn from a baby to a full grown community.

The memories I have with this place, The wars, The alliances, The brother sites, The threats.

Some of the BEST memories I could EVER ask for. It has given me some of the best friends I could ever ask for.

(Van, Daniel, Roberto, Steve, Cody, "Big Sally")

It's really hard to write this honestly.

I am not quitting mugen. I am just never really online (on the forum), I'm ALWAYS on skype, making stuff for mugen, or RPG Maker, or playing games, or doing homework (online college). I have been neglecting MFFA for the past 2 years it feels like - to be continued.

[DartzPie]

thats why i never say goodbye's  ;3 

later ryon,

Wait is mffa still gonna run? o-o

[Laharl]

uh this came out of nowhere. I have no idea whats going to happen.

[Dawn de Era]

Well, you did a pretty damn good job on the site while it was ongoing.

 

Even if I am a more recent user, that ain't' gonna stop me from saying my goodbyes and giving my thoughts on the MFFA.

[RicePigeon]

Im curious about this site's future as well.

[The Unexpected Visitor]

who's paying now?! :S

[Laharl]

well if things go as ryon wants alexei will be taking over as owner of the forum.

[Big Fella]

While I'm still a new user here and there, it's pretty sad seeing the creator of this site leave. But I understand if you have a busy schedule outside the Internet and all. In the meantime, I can give you my good luck for you. I hope we get to see you again when your busy schedule is done and over with.

[TotalDramaXtremist]

Damn. If you really feel that it's time to move on from your own creation.........I'm not quite sure how to feel TBH.

[Ryon]

Ok its worth noting its not closing down.

MFFA is not closing.

According to Alexa MFFA has been alive for 8 years, 3 months and a few days.

[Luis]

I don't get it. If you made the site and MMFA has been around for 8 years, how come your join date is four years ago?

[TotalDramaXtremist]

MFFA went through a redesign 4 years ago, switching forum servers in the process.

[Kazagami]

^ The forum has been going through a lot of server migrating in the past.

 

In another note, i'm glad it's not closing down, but i do still have my concern.

[Zemilia]

I'm curious on who's taking care of the site while you're out.

[Ryon]

I'm sorta trying to find someone.

[Big Green]

[Lord Batros]

wow, i have no words......but i understand 

[CozySquirtle]

wow, i have no words......but i understand 

same

[Galvatron]

W-What!? I...I can't believe it.  :-(

Well I understand everyday real-life can be very hard to people (like me) but we understand how it be Ryon. Their is no reason for you to turn back of whats is important for your life and your family. You did a good job taking care of this forum even though I been around here a few years but I will always call MFFA home because you, the Admins, and Moderators. I hate to see you go but I know Alexi and Laharl, Ryoucchi, and Ricpigeon will do great taking care of MFFA.

Good luck with everything Boss...

[RicePigeon]

Spoke with Ryon yesterday about the situation. I won't go into specifics, but one of the big issues at the moment is the cost of hosting, which me and him are trying to work something out so that MFFA can stay for at least another year.

[Scrombo]

As a fairly new user, I've grown extremely attached to this forum. It's a second home, and it would be unfathomable to see it gone. I'm glad it's staying for now, but I will miss you, Ryon. I haven't chatted with you, but I've seen your creations and interactions in the forums, which convinces me that you are a very important person in the community. See you later, brother.

Slightly off topic, are you guys still taking donations? I want to help as much as I can (even though I have no money at the moment, but I might have some to spare in the future).

[Noside]

wow, i have no words......but i understand 

This exactly my bro Ryon.......

[LightFlare_Da_Realest]

It is what it is...I'm kinda worried that without the site creator this site might lose it's heart and soul. Our staff is more than capable but it needs funding. This can't be the end...in fact I don't believe it is...yet. Tbo it kinda reminds me of Infantry...no...that's not happening...no.

We are always willing to take donations.

As of now The domain name (mugenfreeforall.com) will survive until september 2017.

Balls, I made mffa as a "safehaven" of sorts for people to come to to share there characters works and things they find online without being harassed by strict rules such as don't post someone elses work because you didnt make it, and stuff to that sense.

I NEVER wanted MFFA to have ad's, the less clutter and distractions the better, ya know.

The heart and soul I put into this place is what makes us a Family. I always tell people who decide to leave, They are always welcome back, I would never delete their accounts.

and the people I have banned, Those people are the ones that have TRULY pushed me passed my limit, I HATE Banning people. I don't agree with it.

I hope you can enjoy yourself here. Having talked to rice has made me rethink things a bit. However Donations are very welcome. (Especially since my car ended up being broken, all of my tube/pipes underneath it, for oil, gas, and some other stuff were so badly rusted that repairs are close to 1000 dollars, which Is just about how much I have in my savings account, if it was something else I wouldnt spend it but its my car I need it to get my son and wife to places. so BLEEH)

[Uncle Dante]

You've made a great community here Ryon. It has a warm "home" feel to it, and we all for the most part get along here really well. Even people who aren't into M.U.G.E.N. very much anymore (like myself) can still feel right at home here. Like you've said, we are like a big family here.

It is a bit saddening to see you go after maintaining this place for quite a while, though, I will admit. You've done a great job maintaining this place, and even though I haven't talked to you too much, the few times I have I could tell you were a really nice and fun individual. It's always nice when the owner is just as nice and as prominent as the rest of the community.

I hope everything goes well with keeping this place up and running. Hopefully it can go on for another 8 years.
