Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans!
I was on a hike yesterday and I was thinking... Before the internet, places like this didn't exist. One couldn't connect with other members of fandom unless they were quite literally in the same town/school/etc. There was no internet, no way for fandom members to easily find each other. Then, the internet came.
I'd like to give a hearty "thank you!" to Zeality and Ramsus for creating and maintaining this forum for us (don't forget that Ramsus pays out of pocket for the server/website hosting).
That being said...
Wherever you are in life, whether in the United States or not, you rock. Stay strong, be excellent to each other and treat everyone with kindness and respect. Keep rocking that love for Chrono Trigger. Perhaps one day Square Enix will remember just how amazing the fandom is for this gem.
Specifically for those here celebrating Thanksgiving with me, be thankful. Be thankful for democracy and freedom, even if it is currently challenged (at the end of the day, we could have it so much worse). Be thankful for science and medicine and the advancements that have only been made because of the human spirit and tenacity. Be thankful for those willing to be pioneers, whether that is literal, or with technology, or with concepts of the future (self-driving cars are going to shake our culture to the car once they are truly here!). Be thankful that we can actually have entertainment avenues like Chrono Trigger.
Always fight for what is true, what is right. Never settle. Keep the Springtime of Youth alive.
Cheers!
