So, do any of you have these random moments of nostalgia that just suddenly hit you like a tumbling brick wall out of nowhere? I guess we're all growing up now. It's so odd to think that when I joined this forum I was 16. Now I'm 20. And if I'm honest, I wish I could get those years back so I could live them again. I miss how active we were, and I miss some members we've lost along the way. But, you know what guys? It's you who have kept this forum on it's feet, and I am thankful. I just wish I could have told Ace and Vhills and Hellavet, Cody and Breezy and everyone else how thankful I am to them. ;( Do you guys ever have any thoughts like this? Maybe it would be nice to discuss! Sorry to be such a downer, I just wanted to get it our of my system, and as they say, "A load shared, is apad halved."

Yeah...I feel the same way sometimes, even though I wasn't here when most people were. I feel a little bad about that too sometimes. (Then again, I was 11 when the forum was created, so I don't think I could have joined anyway.) But I do really appreciate the current members here. This place made me realize that I wasn't so different and that there were other people who loved this movie just as much as I did. And I've even made a few friends. And who knows? Maybe by the time CWACOM 2 is out, some members will decide to come back. Maybe even some new ones! It'll be like a whole new era of CWACOM-ness. And if not, at least the current members will still be here.

It is pretty weird to just take a step back and think about it all. Many good things came out of both this site and the movie for me.
There are many people that I probably never would have met had it not been for the movie. And then learning of this site I gained even more friends that seemed to understand me on a greater level than I could have ever imagined. ^^
...This movie had a huge impact on my life; that I never could have guessed would come from an animated film, especially only being 12 at the time I joined this wonderful website.
I'm Proud To Say That I Am And Always Will Be A CWACOM Fan!!!~ C:

You people have no idea ho this movie impacted my life. I was to the point where I was so sad with my life to the point where....well...you know....
This movie saved my life.....fom depression. It came to me when I needed it the most. And if it wasn't for this forum, I woul've never met FL23.....he's now my boyfriend thanks to this place. And I met Water and Steve because of this movie and forum too. It brought joy and meaning to my life. I thank CodyTheMadveick for making thia place. Thanks to her. Thank you....all of you.
But I do miss Breezy, Ral, Vhills, Ace, MFL, CloudyFan, and GG.....they don't come on here that much....some were banned...and others just thought they were disliked....
I wish everyone would just come back...

Gem you're absolutely right! Perhaps with CWACOM 2 just around the corner we'll get some old and new faces cropping up here! I really can't wait for that day to happen! CWACOM came to me in my time of need, and I'm sure there are many others like that out there just waiting for a film to touch their hearts. <3 I know how you feel Water, Cloudy can along at such a bad time in my life, and this forum and it's wonderful members really pulled me through that tough time! I have so many fond memories; I guess I was just feeling a bit down that we lost so many members along the way to the sequel. However, that won't stop me still loving this place and you guys, I've never met a friendlier group of people! Bring on CWACOM 2! Ahh, I had no idea this forum did so much for you, Jell-O! You guys are adorable! How long have you been together now? (So cute!) And I have tried to get in touch with Vhills and Hellavet and Ace, they're active on their dA accounts, but I guess sometimes you just grow out of fandoms As for Cody, she's very active on tumblr, but I don't think she frequents the forum that much anymore. But hey, it's okay you guys! We still have the movie and we still have each other! And it means a lot that everyone's stuck with this fandom for so long! You guys are great, seriously! ILU all <3

I feel pretty much the same way. I wish I'd discovered this forum from the first, but I'm glad I met you guys all the same. And I feel pretty strange given the last... how long have I been here? So much has changed just within the couple past months. It's nuts.

daw, jello's so sentimental. honestly, i don't think we should be focusing on the past, but instead looking to the future. instead of reminiscing about old members that left because they were "unloved" we should be focusing on getting new members!

Well, you've certainly gotten one(yours truly), perhaps there will be more in the future? After all, there's always hope. When something's genuinely enjoyable, there will always be people to talk to about it.

THESE ARE TOTALLY NOT TEARS IN MY EYES JUST NOW. allergies ... >.>
it's just so stunning how a forum, or most likely the little group holding it up, manages to make such a great impact to so many individual lives! and it feels so great to be part of it. i will never forget all our adventures, and life stories, and group hugs, and the LOA and the bacon lovers and the owl city lovers and the video-makers, fanartists, friends, family, dramas, everything!
i never thought i'd make it on the gone-forever-list. it was never my intention! and i am so very sorry. i love you guys and everything i learned from you. and growing up really is partly a stupid thing. this vanishing-from-the-radar thing got me in it's claws, online and offline. does that make me a careless person? ohhhh my! T.T
group nostalgia hug?
and you guys know i love ALL of you but i just can't help it ... LEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMM!!!!! ;A;?!!!
