User talk:Oni Dark Link/A Nostalgic Retrospective. Ten Years of Zeldapedia

Kind words, my friend. Objective statements or not, thank you. It seems, sadly, that I am quite a few years late for reading this and even some months late for catching you, as you seem to have moved on yourself. I was feeling nostalgic, thought about this place, and decided to log back on. I cannot believe how long it has been, and reading this retrospective of yours brought back many memories of days long gone. We built something here. Something, as you said, and I also truly believe, was the best resource for the Legend of Zelda on the planet at one time. Whether it still is, I cannot say; I do not have the knowledge or inside scoop anymore to make a judgment call on that. But the greatness of this wiki is not what I logged on to say.

What I do have to say, is that it seems everyone from my tenure here has gone, barring a few users from my waning days. And those users, as well as some new faces, seem to be doing a good job running this place. And I mean that. Green Rupee, Ceiling Master, all others, you are appreciated.

But finally Oni, what I wanted to say aside from expressing my gratitude, is that it is YOU who was this wiki's greatest editor. Forget any amount of prowess you may have thought I had in this small corner of the internet. You and jedi were here from the beginning and you long outlasted me. You made countless edits. You've seen rises in the userbase and drastic user dropoff. You've seen the Oasis skin come... and never go. You've seen it all. And you made this post; a post that has made me sentimental, proud, and humbled. And from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. It is true that, despite Zeldapedia becoming just a memory to me, it holds a special place in my heart, and you are certainly a part of the reason why. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 22:35, October 9, 2018 (UTC)
