After nearly seven years of operation I made the decision to close Virtual Infusion, my general discussion community, and redirect the domain to my personal site.
I had a blast running the Virtual Infusion community, but as with life everything must one day come to an end. It was nice being able to have a place meet all of you and share our common interests over the years.
It was inevitable that our members would eventually move on to newer and greater things. I wish you all the best.
TL;DR: Virtual Infusion.. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.

Re: Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011
I wish to thank you, WJ and everyone else from the bottom of my heart for being so awesome and giving me a home on the endless sea that is the internet, even if it wasn't meant to last.
These years were very well spent and I wouldn't trade them for anything else.
Have fun everyone, and don't forget: !mitsuki

Well, it's been a good run since the days of AniHina. Who knows, maybe AniTrek/Initial Chii will live on elsewhere!

Re: Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011
Thanks for the memories guys. It's been good, and the ride was fun. It became sad near the end, seeing a lot of good faces disappearing and moving on with their lives - but that's how life goes. Nonetheless, we lived a long healthy life, sharing our laughs and our arguments. I will never forget the times we spent, from the days of VI, and the days before at Anihina/Animegamer. May life treat you all well, and perhaps our paths will cross again.

Re: Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011
Dissapointing...but understandable.
OMG DONT MAKE ME GO TO ANIMEBOARDS! lol I blame the lack of quality anime and games for the decline in posting myself. I myself have shun the social networking as a whole. Heck, I even deleted my facebook account the other day. The only thing I do even close to a forum, or social networking is Last.fm
Take care everyone! :D

Re: Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011
Love and miss ALL of you! Don't think I didn't look back from time to time to see what was up with everyone ;P
I'm a rising senior at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania for Communication Design (all that graphic and web art stuff) and doing well. I've been making and keeping wonderful friends, and am really making a spot for myself in the world. You all played a large part in my early adult life, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there. Cheers all, and I miss you terribly. Feel free to find me on facebook, it's /griffinm.

Re: Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011
One last thing, I created a Facebook group for those that want to keep in touch. I invited Oddball1, nzwhatever and skiingisstillcool but I don't have anyone else (CUZ DESIRU WON'T ACCEPT MY FRIEND REQUEST ;-;). Chris, I couldn't find you anywhere. Do you know how many people by the name CW there are on Facebook? I'm thinking maybe you don't have one? Anyway, go like the page!

If any of you guys play Minecraft and are interested in Multi-player, I run an Minecraft community called Minty Fresh Creepers now. There is also a Ventrilo server in case anyone wants to talk with me. :)

Oh snap.
I haven't played much Minecraft lately as I have absolutely no inspiration left, but I think I can pop in every now and then to see how you're doing.

Re: Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011
I can't believe about 10 years has passed since Anihina and the community has changed dramatically. The real interaction between members took place in IRC and each of them had a certain personality, some endearing, others annoying to the point where it wouldn't make sense to kick/ban them anymore. However, the dedicated stuck by each other until each of us had our own lives to live and started to wither away. Memories are all what's left of what we can hold on to and cherish and not only have I benefited from the community for providing helpful and useful information pertaining to my likes, hobbies, and interests but also helped changed my vision of life and the world around me especially when it comes to random open discussions and a tidbit of ourselves about what we've gone through in our daily mundane lives. I hope now that each of you have changed for the better ever since we've met and that life is treating you well. Until then...

Re: Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011
Had some good times. Shame to see it go, wish I was still into the scene and could have kept going. : \ I was just discussing the scanslation project with a friend a few weeks ago. She was all 'OH MAN I READ SCHOOL RUMBLE, MAYBE IT WAS YOUS?' And I was like 'Chill babe, it was just a thing.'
Also Drupal <3
I'm gonna check out that Facebook and Minecraft Server so hard, you don't even know.

Re: Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011
Hello, I'm interested in buying your forum and starting it up again. I love anime and forums and want to start another forum. This would be a great chance for me. I already own a popular forum, iHackMyi.com so I'm sure I could get your community going again.
Please contact me at kaamaru [@] ihackmyi.com
