See you, Robert! I'll let you know about PGR F1, no need to check the forums regurlarly.RobertRacer wrote:Goodbye.
See you Kikwik. And thank you so much for your awesome database! Your farewell message leaves me wondering, though. It just felt like you were working at full steam to release more micro tracks and magazines. Anyway, enjoy your time off. Personally, I had to take multiple breaks in the past as well, so I would always come back - to PGR F1, to GeneRally, or actually anything else that I've ever enjoyed.Kikwik wrote: Yes, I feel like I must leave. It's been since August 2019 until now that I'm working on the database practically each day , enjoying it and thinking about sharing it with you all along, and it finally come true.
I'm a lot of years late (or a few early, if we're going for the 20 year mark), but I'm doing fine!LongBow wrote:I know, after 10 years the enthusiasm slowly fades away but hopefully it will get better when we get the sequelACM wrote:Ten years ago on this day, February 7th, I discovered GeneRally for my very first time, through this page.
I did have some ideas for celebrating my decennial, but truth be told I just wasn't all that enthusiastic about it.
BTW, I wonder how is Gnome doing...
I know what you mean. I never really left (and don't plan on leaving either) but visited this place less and less often until this year. At each visit there have been less people in here and it is sad indeed. Luckily there are still some people (and even more at the Polish GR Discord server!) and I believe there are still more adventures to be had. I have to remember the word "saudade", it seems to capture my feelings too.Ed Santos wrote:I feel like walking through a ghost town.
Thanks TuomoH! It really is emotional. One of the things I discovered during my break is that I like writing. I don't see as a career, but writing is the easier way I can show what I feel. And I had so much feelings about GeneRally that I couldn't keep them only with myself.TuomoH wrote:Thanks for that post, Ed, it was an emotional text and I really enjoyed reading your memories.
Nice to know GeneRally has still chances of growing more! I plan on sometimes in the future coming back here to see how the community is. It would be a nice surprise to see it strong again!TuomoH wrote:I know what you mean.

Hahaha Thanks, that one took me a while to make... After creating it, I didn't feel like changing it any more. I'll be using the Beatles avatar for more 10 yearsTuomoH wrote:Btw, I've loved your avatar since I first saw it!

Thanks! I think most of us had similar experiences... And although a long time has passed and many memories are gone, I really would like to read what you all remember from those years. Surely there were many good moments I didn't notice at the time...RudyOosterndijk wrote:It's amazing how many parallels I can make out in your descriptions of the early years. Though, I don't know how and when my own relationship with the game comes to an end, but I will certainly come back to your post for inspiration.
Yes, yes, yes! I love writing and it's the easiest way for me to communicate my feelings as well.Ed Santos wrote:One of the things I discovered during my break is that I like writing. I don't see as a career, but writing is the easier way I can show what I feel.
I'd love to do something like that but it'd require lots of time. I actually do have diaries from the whole GR era but as they are my general diaries, all the GR stuff is buried between lots of other things.And although a long time has passed and many memories are gone, I really would like to read what you all remember from those years.

Maybe we could join all those "gospels" and write the ultimate History of GeneRally?
