User blog comment:ShermanTheMythran/Personal Appeals Concerning the Move/@comment-5343857-20130415213930

Encore to the both of you, specially Sherm (no offense Drew, but his speech was more inspired IMO). Let's see how the move turns out. As far as I'm concerned, it should do very well (except for the community that's set on stone) Of course, it is their choice and not mine, but I wouldn't lay ground in either site just now. Just like Sherm said, it's better at least watching the other community, perhaps not super actively, but watching the site grow and the community develop to be possibly bigger and better! Yes, we're all used to Wikia, and it will be, as to say, akward at first to try the new features that we have here (I believe the change of chat will be one of them), But, just like Sherman said, anything that we can't expressly move to be the same, we can recreate it (which involves some customization if desired). Indeed, the community is going through a hard time, I'm seeing it day-to-day. But I believe the move will not kill it. Yes, it will be tough to Put the community back together as it was before the move was announced, but it's possible, and it will come back stronger than before! You don't believe me? Well, you can take me as an example. I'm victim to depression and occassional hallucinations. But I am far better off now. Right when my last trauma destroyed me, I couldn't even fake a smile well, I couldn't really say I could love. I attempted suicide, but something inside of me stopped myself. At that moment, it was the fact that I believed that I'd hurt the one who made this happen more than the pain I'd relieve from myself. What stops me today, is a group of around 20 people. And I tell you, if it were not for them, I would not be here today. Yes, I am still damaged, and scarred for life. But I'm healing up. The community will as well. Sorry for the long comment guys, I guess I got carried on, but I wanted to get this point through. As mentioned in Assassin's Creed; A creed cannot be destroyed. Even if you kill all of it's followers, it will later be discovered by someone else who will rebuild it. Now, coming back to today, a Creed moving from somewhere to another place cannot die either. It's an ideal.

Thanks for listening, and sorry if I made this too long
