Hi Everyone.

Hope you still remember me.

Believe it or not, I actually read this thread last December and wanted to reply to it then. But it's november 2024 now. Doesn't that sum it all up?

I don't know where to begin. I don't think i ever imagined not posting or logging into GL in my life. It's the same me who used to post while being on holidays or weddings or birthdays or whatever. But I am thinking back and all of that feels like a lifetime ago? Is it weird that I am typing this on the verge of tears?

I feel like a lot of me has died and reborn over the last 3 years. And you know the strangest part? i don't watch football anymore. Not even Arsenal. I have fought so hard to admit this. It's not that i don't like Arsenal anymore. They are still the first love of my life and maybe i will return to football and Arsenal at some point but that part of me seems to be gone too.

But i honestly miss you guys. I miss everything about this forum and i miss every single moment we shared between 2008-2024. I love my life right now and i am happily married with a great job and family but that period of life is something i can never replicate nor it will ever be topped. I just wanted to say that that don't ever forget everything we shared here. History won't remember any of this but i hope you all remember till the last day on earth. We practically shared a blood bond. We lived here. I will always remember and love you guys.

To the question why GL died? it was always going to happen regardless of any decision we would have made. All the decisions would have ultimately led to this point because that's how life goes. You know that expression that "one day you put your kid down and then you never pick him up again"? that's pretty much is it. No one left GL or stopped posting because they hated it here. People just stopped because life. That was always going to happen.

I still wish I could change many things all those years ago you know? But would that have saved GL from dying? i doubt it. You can't stop people from marrying lol. Or having kids. Or having a busy ass job. Or growing up.

So don't be too critical. We enjoyed and still enjoy GL for what it was and is. I just saw that 50 people logged in over the last 2 months. That's still impressive after 13 years.

I am never going to kill GL so anyone who wants to post can continue to do so. But i don't think any of the admins have the time to change anything. I am even happy to make any of you admins if you want.

GL was always yours and is still yours. I don't know when i will log in again on GL. I am on twitter/X if you ever need me and a lot of you already follow me there so it's not like i am dead so just reach out if you want.

Yours forever,

Kind of teared up a bit reading this. Thanks for GL RG. Sad more new members arent joining and then again staying like we stayed. May be that's what makes this forum so much special and also personal. Like our haven. We are old now. Withered by life. But returning to GL still gives me so much peace and positive vibes. Its like I am returning to my past when I was happier and livelier. Smile Once again thanks man for preserving this place and best of luck with life.

I find it incredible that we did practically grow up here and are now men with families, while Bill was probably already like retired when this forum started.

I was referring to at least one who didn’t grow up / mature!

By the way Vibe, my son and daughter are older than most of you. And yes I was retired, have been since 2007.

I might take credit for it given that I' ve contact ed RG on X on Monday if he was ready for Inter Arsenal Proud

Well I definitely agree with you mate. About all.
I loved/ love GL not for being a simple football forum, but for the place
Hell I considered extraordinary the fact that you could find posters from every place in the world. You felt at the center of the world during the most active days.
Who remembers the " It' was just a banter (Richard Keys)"  days ???

After yes ... Simply people grow, our lives overturn, football becomes subordinate to the rest.
I begun when I was a university student who hadn't idea about his future, now I am an employeer who's working in another city.
Now I am writing this mess in English hastily given that I should work, but It had to be done.

Yes when I logged in on GL I watched too many football matches. Now just Inter (and not Always) and Calcio matches. Similar reasons with RG and others

My prime on GL was with Inter during their Banter Era, now we are a serious club, so let alone, absolutely It doesn't depend on results! Simply our lives evolve

But I've never forgotten GL and it'd like to find time to write still here. Because I still love this Place/ you.
I'll try, we ' ll try. This place is special and we know it.

the theme that we all found something bigger than football and its importance minimised isn't diminished loyalty to your club.

its called growing up and having ambition.

which is why im very critical of ultras now and ppl who let their day ruined by a bad result.

GL dying is not by any means sad it's an epitaph of all that was created here and to this day it never was about the football but the multiple array of personalities most of you quite intelligent. it was never meant to always be.
