What Would You Do if ZD Ceased to Exist?

Well, I'd be pretty disappointed, because I only just got here. It's nice to have a place where I can talk without Zelda without feeling like everyone else is thinking "Dude, nobody cares".

Since this isn't the only Zelda forum around, I'd probably head over to a different one for all of my Zelda-related needs. Or try to get into the fandom on Tumblr, though my first attempt there wasn't very successful (I mesh with that site like... peanut butter and sardines. It just doesn't handle discussion in a way that works for me). Alas, Livejournal is dead, so there's no hope there.

Or maybe I'd turn my attention back to other series that I like, and throw myself face-first into it.

Haha, I'd probably still type out 'ya dig' and 'mm qimme dat' and other mannerisms from ZD, and my IRL friends would be like o_O 'Wtf are you typing...' and then I'd get nostalgic and cry :cry:

Really though, the silence would get pretty strange and deafening. I remember how much I used time I used to just spend alone before ZD, reading or riding my bike or whatever. I still like time to myself, but the company, and talking to people is nice. Talking to random people online has been a quite so very interesting experience, something I'd never done before. You really learn a lot, get opened up to the world and learn about different environments, ways of living, beliefs and views. :yes:

Didn't I already answer this one?
Make a website about some crappy video game series with a bright blue layout and frequent tech problems

The laws of physics require them

no one said pokemon dungeon was going anywhere

I'd have to find another forum to manipulate the mod team on after being corruptly promoted to admin and then resigning after putting all my friends on staff

Do you mean as if it ended up with basically permanent database errors? Or how we would be different if we never came here?

If the site shut down, I'd get mad, but maybe join Serebii and talk to everyone on Skype. Let's be honest, even removing one site wouldnt make me any more productive lol.

If it never existed, then I'd probably still be the angry loner I was for nearly a decade. This site honestly changed me, and while it has indirectly contributed to stresses (i.e. my February stresses, the mid-Novemeber breakup), it also expanded my views and made me a better debater. While I may have been able to develop elsewhere, I wouldn't willingly trade this for anything.

No, I meant it as have it gone forever, you know, non-existent at all. Errors apply to all sites, and some go down only to come back again, but I meant it as have this lovely place be gone forever. I would truly be sad, probably wouldn't even visit other places, unless I really miss those few of you I've taken a liking to. :(

I'd probably go on with my life as normal, just without much interneting (maybe not at all, because ZD is the only thing I do on the internet), because there's nothing I can do about something ceasing to exist. *shrug*

Live out my dream to become a pornstar

But seriously, I'm usually over at ZU so yeah. Plus ZU is starting to get boring for me so actually "live a life"

Yes, but you met her here. If you were to never have met her here, then you most likely wouldn't even be talking on QT right now.

I know :/

Of course I'd miss the good memories of this place, but to be honest, the bad memories outweigh the good ones. So, I wouldn't be upset at all.
