I believe that the general consensus was "no."

I personally don't even read the comic, and haven't for over a year. I know that to be the case for quite a few other members as well, and we're all still coming here. This is a very tight-knit community in a lot of ways, and most of us aren't willing to abandon it just because the forum's original focus may no longer exist. (It's not like we're a particularly focused group of individuals to begin with.)

Yeah, really, this community stopped being really about Ozy and Millie long ago. At least for the oldest and most active members.

Besides, statistically speaking, forums don't often end after the subject matter dies. For example, sixflagshouston.com's boards are still around, and the Six Flags park in question was demolished 3 years ago.

Indeed, it shall live on.

Does anyone(*) remember the "Ocarina of Time 2D" project? The "creator" started a webforum called Zelda Fan Game Central, which exists to this day despite the fact that OoT2D never came out and pretty much died 2-3 years ago. I'm assuming the same will happen here.

(*)Except for The_MZZTer because obviously he knows about ZFGC, given that he idles in the chat room all the time.

Do I count as an oldest and activest member? Cause I still read the comic and on average, enjoy it.

I would hardly call nearly 7000 posts "active".

Question - When Ozy and Millie ends, what happens to the forum banner? I'm guessing we'll keep the name, but the picture, if any?

Similar question directed at the fan's gallery page.

By "oldest," do you mean alive the longest or a member the longest?

Yeah. :-/ I live in Houston, and I bought season passes to the park every year from 1997 to 2005. I was there a lot, so when it closed it was kind of a shellshock to me. Sucks that you only got to go once, though.

At least you guys have Fiesta Texas! I've always loved that place. I actually think its better than Astroworld was.

Ya but the park is mainly a show park. If you want my opinion Six Flags over Texas is the best park. You're lucky because you're closer to Dallas.
