RedWarIncident's Speech

This speech was created by RedWarIncident from the Smash Dojo site on June 9th, 2008. Under times of profound chaos, he inspired us all with his words.

...These are his words:


Fellow Dojo members, brawlers, and Admins. Today is a day that will go down in the history of the Dojo and remain in the Archives of Old for all of time. Today was a day that will not only live in infamy but in esteem as well. Today the Smash Dojo forums were set ablaze and most all the memory we have come to know was lost and nothing left but an empty shell. We lost ranks. We lost posts. We lost friends of young and old. But not all is destroyed. We have gained so much from the ashes of our once thriving dojo. I ask you now, what do you see? An empty shell? A lifeless body never again to regain its strength. I say no. I see a new beginning, a new source of light, a new Dojo. Take these ashes and do not discard them but remember them. Remember our dojo. Cast aside your pitchforks and torches and pull up your chisel and hammer and carve, shape, and create a new forum. Do not blame Adam for what has happened. Do not blame Taz or Guru for not preventing this. Blame not a single member of this dojo. Do not blame or hate or complain. Be the foundation, brick, and mortar and create a better, stronger forum then before. Do not lick these wounds, celebrate them! Remember, give and you shall receive. Give to this community and recieve a better one in return. I now ask you to bow your heads and remember this day, June 9th, 2008 as a day that not crippled this forum, but strengthened it to a more glorious and triumphant one. Remember this day. Remember.

Indeed, we shall remember.
