Has it really been five years? Man, now I feel really old.
And yes, I do remember that night. Ice-9 dropped the bomb that RC was closing and there wasn't anything that any of us could do or say that would change his mind. I was sad, because RC was the first forum I'd ever posted at [barring one or two posts at the Dreamcast section] and I was really starting to fit in, despite still being a newb. Now, five years later, I'm a senior member of the Old Boy's Club and have become quite cynical in my old age. 19 already, eh? Why I remember back in the day, we had proper console wars! Not like the sissy, feel-good console wars you young-ins have today! Speak up! My hearing's not so good anymore!! Darn kids, with their touch-screens...
