I first made my account in 2007. It was in May, and I had just graduated from High School. I spent hours on that site, and this was still when we had dial-up so one may be able to understand that frustration! The point system along with just how entertaining it was kept me coming back day after day. I met a lot of friends there, some of which I have on my Facebook.

I think that Verizon is making a mistake shutting it down completely. There are unique questions and answers on there that one may not be able to find anywhere else. Opinions on how different things are done. Shutting it down might result in something important never being able to be found, or a certain way to do something. In my opinion, removing it from the search index is a bad idea. Yes, there was a lot of B.S. on there, but most of it is fun and games, and there were categories that were serious when it came to helping people.

In short, I will never forget my time there, and it now feels as though a piece of my young adulthood is stripped away forever, only to exist in memory, nothing more.
