Hey guys, some plans for the future.

I’m. Sort of back, but we aren’t alive again. Sorry about that. Over the next few months? Year? However long it takes, I’m going to be compiling a big old list of topics and posts that correspond to them to make this a more efficient list of resources for you all to use. Thanks again for sticking with us so long, especially those of you who stuck around even after we left. Love you guys.

We’re done here.

Yep, that’s it. I think everyone has said their piece so I might as well end it with my goodbye and the final remarks.

Honestly? It’s difficult to find words. This blog alone has changed me a lot within the past year, and honestly, for the better. I met some very wonderful people, both mods on this blog and people through this blog, and I don’t know where I would be without those people in my life. They, and this blog as whole, showed me how important it is for me to stand up for myself which is an issue I struggled with for a long time, and I’m certain I’m not the only one in the “this blog has helped me” category, and knowing that makes me really, really happy. Because by the end of the day? That’s all I wanted. To help people over come their confusions, to help people understand things better, and to just help people out in general in anyway that I can. I think, I can call that goal something I achieved, and I’m proud of that. I’ve moved onto other projects now, with more focused goals and I intend to achieve those goals just as I did here.

Our purpose was always to educate and learn in a professional matter, and despite our honestly rather silly sprite based presentation I’m glad that we always stuck with it to the end. We accepted that the moment we couldn’t keep going with that standard, that it was time to pack up, but I don’t honestly see it as something bad, or sad, nothing good can last forever after all.  We all gained experiences from this little blog, and those experiences will stick with us for a long, long time.

That being said, this is goodbye. I’m glad you guys managed to stick with us for so long, and I wish you all luck in the future.

xoxo

Well, here goes.

When I was first approached about being a mod for this blog, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. At first, I wasn’t even sure if I fit the bill. I tend to lean more left, I been a part of blog like this before, and I had never met most of the people on it. But Mod Phoenix was a friend, and I had faith in the mission.

I didn’t expect it to be very important to me. And I certainly didn’t expect to make friends, let alone very good, close friends.

I guess you could say a lot of my effects on the blog were more behind the scenes than out front. I never exactly ever had a lot of fans the way Edgeworth and Larry did, but I did manage to gain the trust of my fellow mods to the point where I was eventually promoted as a head mod. I mostly helped out with internal affairs and source checking-- something that I would like to think helped keep us middle of the road.

A month ago, I ran into some medical issues so I ended up leaving very abruptly behind the scenes. It was supposed to be temporary, but then the blog started to fade... and, well, it was time. It probably could have ended a while back, but we sort of dragged our feet. It’s hard to say goodbye, you know? But here we are.

And here we go. On to the next chapter. New things. One case ending is just a future case’s precedent. I’m glad I could be a part of it. I’m glad you were a part of it.

So long, and good luck. Maggey

Well, this is the end. I had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends, but as Larry said: The time's just run out. I'd rather leave this with dignity than descend into hate and extremism like others have gone. I'd like to think we were fairly reasonable most of the time, and that apart from the one incident we didn't have much trouble. I did enjoy my time here – it helped change a lot of my views, it helped my debate skills, and most of all it has tested and honed my patience with others in more ways than one, and I hope I helped a lot of people, whether personally or by educating about things. I would say I've learned a lot over the past two years myself. It was a positive experience, and I'm happy that it's ending like this, rather than going down in flames. I love the way things went, and I wouldn't change it.

So this is goodbye. I'll be around – I posted my personal so follow me there if you want. I'm almost always up to talk if you have questions.

I just finished rereading every single post I've made on this blog, from the fierce debates to the less-than-subtle dick jokes. It was pretty sad, knowing I'll never play the gumshoe persona and post content for all 1515 of you (holy shit! 1515!) to see. It's 12:30 here (technically Friday, I'm not sure if this breaks the time limit posted earlier) so I doubt this will be too coherent, but I just wanted to say thanks to y'all for caring about what I had to say. I'm just some kid from Detroit, but posting here made me feel like I was making some small impact in the world, even if it was only one or two opinions changed. Sometimes though, you just gotta move on. I no longer have the fervor for social justice I once had, nor the time or energy to force myself to post. I'm sure you wouldn't want disingenuous posts from me, either. This goodbye isn't nearly as good as I wanted it to be, but it's something, and if I don't do it now I'll never do it. So, goodbye. Have a nice day, pal. Keep in touch, -Cap (Gumshoe)

All good things must end. Even Science.

I must sincerly apologize for my lack of activity. There were a multitude of factors, and it’s probably my biggest regret on this blog. But I’m glad I got to serve here with all these amazing people. THere have been some horrible times, but there have also been amazing times. Mostly amazing in fact. Like 98%. I do not regret meeting these fantastic people. 

Like the others, i submitted an application, not really sure i’d get on. When I was asked for my skype, needess to say I was shocked. I remember being intimidated, before realizing everyone there was no more threatening than a teddy bear. Everyone was so nice and inviting. And every time we got new mods i was a little scared, but thankfully we didn’t make... many mistakes. But hey, those people aren’t here anymore. The roster of mods we have here today, is golden.I like to believe we still made a difference. I think we did an excellent job at spreading our beliefs, and who knows. Maybe we changed a mind or two. 

I’m very happy to say we’ll always be friends. If anyone is worried us as a team will fall apart, we won’t. We have our fair share of fights, but we always can come to a conclusion and apologize for hurt feelings. And all our followers can continue to spread our word. So we’re not really dead. It’s more like we’re moving on to bigger and better things.

I’m glad we can end this on a high note. We never became sterotypical “anti sjws.” We didn’t lose sight of equality. We ended how we began. And I am so proud of my fellow mods. To our newer mods, I’m sorry you joined so late, and I wish you could have stayed longer. To our older mods, thank you for giving me this opportunity. To all our mods. You are all intelligent beautiful people who i know will get to do great things.

To our followers. Who sat with us through slow days, heavy days, times where we made mistakes, cheered us on when we needed it. Thank you all.

Goodbye.

-For the final time. Mod Ema.

Pleeeeeaaaase don’t be sad it’s over!

My time here at Ace Attorney’s For Social Justice has been some of the best couple months of my life. While I didn’t get that many posts out (which I will readily admit that I’m guilty of being too lazy to do them), the community and the group itself have just been supportive for all of my run as mod ron.

Final Rebuttal

Hey everyone just a few words before I go. I know I was never good with posting here with any strong consistency, but I am truly proud to have been a part of this blog. I am so grateful for the people on the blog before me for giving me this chance and I hope that I did enough to make them, and you, glad that they did. When my set of Mods were being chosen I saw a post saying that they had definitely picked one and were going to contact the next pretty soon because they were so far ahead in the voting, I thought “wow what if that’s me”, sure enough a few hours later I got the message from Larry inviting me to the blog. I was now Agent Lang, funny thing, I had always said that I would be Atmey if I could be on the blog until I realised he didn’t have a pointing sprite. Then I remembered Lang, good thing too, I think he suits me better. It was such a fantastic feeling writing my introduction post and meeting everyone. There have been moments on this blog, posts made, arguments written, teamwork on posts, that have been amazing, that have put me back into 100% fanboy mode. Even more so that I got to partake in them.

I’m sorry that it’s ending, I didn’t really think it would. But now that it is, a big thanks to everyone who interacted with the blog, thank you for helping us be the best we could be. I’ll miss being Agent Lang, I’ll miss this experience, thankfully because of the chat I won’t have to miss my friends.

If anyone is interested here’s my personal, I’d certainly like some of you to drop by, social justice will show up somewhere and I’m happy to answer some questions. Either way, keep up the good fight, good luck and remember, in the words of Monty Oum, “Keep moving forward.”

“Goodbye”, or rather, “see you around”

It’s sad that it’s come to this, even if it’s for the best in the end.

When I first applied for the blog when it was still in its infancy, I was nervous as hell and not even sure if I’d be accepted. The time I’ve had here is amazing. It’s had its ups and downs, we’ve had good and not so good mods (mostly good imo), and we’ve had our dramas and challenges. Ultimately, though, I’ve learned a lot from being a mod here, and I’ve made some wonderful friends. Being a mod here has helped me to grow as a person, and I like to think I’m at least somewhat more informed about the world and have a much more solid basis for my views.

I wouldn’t trade my time here for anything, and even as it’s ending, we’ll always have our memories, the friendships we’ve made and everything we learned. I’m glad that things are ending now, if only because it means we’re ending as good people who are simply exhausted, rather than devolving into the nastiness that many fall victim to when spending too long on these matters.

While this is goodbye from me here, you’re still all very welcome to follow my personal blog, although my personal is quite different to here. So, rather than goodbye, I’ll just say that I’ll see you guys around. 

But it was so artistically done...

Hi everyone, I'd like to talk to you for a little bit about this blog's closing for my goodbye post. I apologize if this gets a bit rambly, but this is just my history with the blog, and my thoughts on it closing. If any of you ever want to talk, feel free to message me on my personal.
