B5:itf Finland going down
Yep, after all these years the finnish counterpart of firstones.com will be going down shortly (tomorrow?). First of all I have to thank personally Freeze for giving us a place where we could talk about Itf, B5 and [i]almost[/i] everything else in finnish, without your effort many people wouldn`t have found the magnificent universe that is B5.
Back to the site itself. While the b5itf-finland.org domain may die this doesen`t mean that the b5itf finnish community will die, oh no! There will be a place to where the finnish B5 (and every other fan) can and must migrate but I can`t talk about that... not yet [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/shad.gif[/img]
And Freeze... well I got the impression that he will be going semi-beyond-the-rim (as he is already) but he has to answer that himself [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/shad.gif[/img]
As always here is a couple quotes from the series that fit the occasion (the other one a little bit modified):
[i]This journey has ended. Another begins. Time to rest now.[/i]
[i]Babylon 5: Into the Fire Finland was the last of the B5:itf sites. There would never be another. It changed the future .. and it changed us. It taught us that we have to create the future .. or others will do it for us. It showed us that we have care for one another, because if we don't, who will? And that true strength sometimes comes from the most unlikely places. Mostly, though, I think it gave us hope .. that there can always be new beginnings .. even for people like us.[/i]

B5ITF-Finland is more than just a punch of sites, forums and an irc-channel to me.
It's a friendly community, we know each other pretty well, many of us have met others time to time, some are close friends and some haven't yet met any of other B5ITF-finlanders, like me.
Still I know others quite well, hopefully some day we shall all meet IRL in one place.
So long my friend.
It was a home for few hundreds lunatics ( also know as finns )
Parting is bittersweet.

That really sucks. B5:ITF-Finland has been as big as firstones in supporting the game, and finnish fans have been the most rabid of the bunch. Maybe they can start using the finnish forum here more or something.

I think we should adopt this as our forum slogan.

Damn it... I didn't know that. I'm missing Season 4's second part and both fifth season blooper reels. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/frown.gif[/img]
Well, hopefully some of my fellow finnish d00dz on IRC could send them for me. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
