Hello, I'm byebob4959. I doubt anyone remembers me, if anyone is reading this at all.
I was active from around 2010 to 2014, and mostly posted in the Community forum when the original LMBs were active.
I'm 19 now, and I've moved off to college. It's a lot like regular school, but your mom isn't there to make good food.
I don't plan on posting here any further, I made this account just for this post. But there was something I needed to get off of my chest.
Lately I've been rethinking a lot of the things that shaped my childhood: Video games, toys, movies, etc., but one thing that struck a chord with me more than anything else was remembering my times on the Lego Message Boards and all the friends I made there. I logged onto the Lego website tonight to check up on things, and see how they were going after all these years. To my dismay, I discovered that the Lego Message Boards were nowhere in sight. Upon further research, I learned that they had been shut down in late 2017.
I looked around the wiki for a while, reminiscing about old times, when I discovered the Lego Message Boards Eternal. I don't know how many people post here. I don't know if this website is active at all anymore. But I do know that I needed to post here. Maybe it's closure for myself. Maybe there's something still in me that wants to be back in 2012, posting about my favorite toys, not worrying about the pressure that college puts on. Maybe I long for a simpler time.
I don't know the answer, to be honest. But what I do know is that I want to say thank you. Thank you for the great times. Thank you for all the friends I made. Thank you for for the experiences I had that helped shape who I am today. Thank you to the new Lego fans, the long time Lego fans, and to the moderators. I know that no one is listening, but this is more for myself. It feels right to me to post here one more time. Just as the Lego Message Boards represented my journey through childhood, my final post will represent the start of my adulthood. It's poetic, in a way.
So one more time, thank you. For everything.
Play well,
