I'm not sure how you write a goodbye like this. So I'm going to do it off the cuff with very little editing.
Colombian Roastmasters meant a lot to me. I guess meant being the operative word in that sentence. It meant a lot of things to a lot of people. And even to this day really probably means a lot to some people as is. But the fact of the matter is, to me. The party's over, I'm saying goodbye, CoRo was a Destiny clan that built a community around it that became far larger and more meaningful than the time we spent playing Destiny. It turned 8 years old this year, fun fact. I met a lot of people through CoRo. Made a lot of friends. Lost a few of them too. I started this when I was a literal actual teenager. I started playing Destiny as a literal child at the age of 17, in my parents' home on an Xbox 360 that I shortly thereafter replaced.
So to me, after 8 years and what feels like a short eternity of inactivity, that in all earnestness is never probably going to end, and no interest in trying to revive the dead. I've decided that now is as good a time as any to let go.
The fact is that I've changed. I'm in a very different chapter of my life now in 2025 than I was in 2017, and I'm a firm believer in letting the past remain there. Growth sucks but it's important to change and be someone else eventually. Even just a little bit. And so with that I started reevaluating keeping the server around as I tried to find new purpose for it, and the fact of the matter is, I don't have a new purpose for it, I don't want to have a new purpose for it.
For those of you who were active until virtually the end, I hope you're not upset and you understand. For those of you who kept clicking the emoji to not get pruned, I'm not sure why you stuck around but hey I guess you get to read this goodbye as well.
In the coming days I'll likely start archiving channels. The server won't be deleted. It'll be frozen, for people to reminisce and remember what it was like, to remember their friends. To remember people we lost.
Thank you for everything you gave me. Thank you for everything you gave each other. Even if it was small, every second mattered.
