What to say.

Over the last five years, you guys have been more than my friends. You've been, in a very real sense, my family. Whenever I needed laughter, you were there. Something to distract me, you were there. Just something to listen to, or someone to "talk" to, you were there. Without a doubt, you were the biggest influence on my life from the ages of 14-18. You guys have taught me so much about being a storyteller, about being a critic, about just being a good person in general, and most of what I know about the movie industry I've learned from you. Teague and Mike and Brian and Trey and Eddie and Cloe and all the rest are some of the absolute smartest, wisest people I know, and are all role models, people I aspire to be like, as well as friends in my head.

You all have put in a titanic effort over the last six years. Not only have you entertained us all—you've brought a forum of completely awesome people together, you've raised thousands of dollars to save lives, you've taught a lot of people a bunch of things. You've made a real difference, and that's no small thing.

I'm still gonna continue to follow all of the hosts and the forum members in their various doings, and hang out around here, because all that's awesome. And we all have the immense backlog to listen to and share for years to come. But this is the end of an era. And I'll miss that era tremendously. Thank you so, so, so much, again, for all that you've done and will continue to do. We all, and the world in general, are a much better place for it.

Also, damn you Teague for putting that clip in at the end. I'm misty enough as it is. :-P
