Hello, it’s Kelly again. Welcome to the last post ever. I hope that it lives
up to your expectations, but there’s only so much I can do. Nick was a very
important part of a lot of people’s lives, including my own, but I recognize
that others have their own personal experiences. That was kind of the original
idea behind the Forum Memorial, but I suppose that the comment section serves
that purpose too. Beyond that, I wanted to thank Jasmine for taking the time
to express her final thoughts before this site comes to a close. It was really
nice to hear from her again, wasn’t it, folks? Moving on, I was planning on
just sort of shutting myself away from the world after this, but my friends
have suggested that I keep things alive in a new way. People have evidently
responded well to my contributions, even before Nick went away forever, so I
do want to continue in some capacity, but before I get into that, you should
know that this blog is still ending. It was never really mine, and I want my
own space on the web. Stay subscribed to Nick’s social media accounts, where
I’ll let you know how to keep following along, if you want. I think this is
the right way to do it. All of you subscribed to hear from him, or at least
about him. It wouldn’t be fair for me to sort of usurp this whole
audience for my own gain. I should have to start over, and you can choose to
follow me on the other side, or not. I won’t blame you if you don’t. I would
rather know that everyone is there because they want to be, not because they
forgot to fully unsubscribe from this site. So, there it is. It’s over. As
they say, it’s been a hell of a ride, so far, but it’s not truly over. This
version of Earth kept spinning after Nick and Dutch died, and will continue
doing just that even when every single one of us follows in their footsteps.
These words, though...the blog updates, the book, the musical; they could live
on forever. Alienoid ultrahumans five billion years from now might be enjoying
what we’ve created over the last 365 days. That goes for everyone, with your
own accounts, storing your own original thoughts. It’s crazy to think about it
this way, but it’s comforting too. You can all live forever if you do
something with your lives. It doesn’t have to be huge, or mind-blowing. You
don’t even have to become famous. You just have to have something to say, and
a means of recording it. Thank you again for being here, and participating in
the global discourse. I wouldn’t call us boring at all, and I think Nick would
have changed his mind about that by now. Signing off for the last time here.
I’ve been Kelly Serna...and you’ve been a great audience.
