Virtual Infusion Community: 2004-2011

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.

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

Thanks for keepin' it real, Unmei. Hope life's treating you well, bro.

I still love you guys!

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

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.

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

Yeah, it's been a good run! I, for one, gained a lot from our discussions and I won't soon be forgetting you guys. For what it's worth, I'm on Facebook too now: http://www.facebook.com/min0rbird

Thanks for running a tight ship all these years, Moparx. You da' man. :)

Wow I decided to do my check on VI every few mos thing and find this post. Sad, but understandable. Good luck with everything, Moparx.

I refuse to take this link off of my favourites bar :) Huzzah!

It's been good guys, thanks Mo, I'll be lurking in the usual places.

A toast to some good friends and times!

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.

i still never got my password reset

Duo` hands out cookies.
WJ is now WJ|PumpinIron.
IF I FIND OUT WHO RELEASED THOSE MOPARX SHIRTLESS AVATARS THEY'LL BE BANNED
^bye memoriezzzz

I even did my a Spanish project on Moparx back in high school :(

Penis.

P.S. Wraith and WJ: commit suicide

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!

I miss you all as well. :P

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. :)

Yeah dude! I'm GuardianAlce on there, I'll definitely be on, mate!

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.

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...

P.S. Oh and what's that cupcake command again. Sorry I suck at IRC.

Oh snap. Minecraft! Yes please! I should log in, Go by the name of Eaglsfanatic

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.

*sniffles* Awww. I met so many wonderful people on there. Thank you for all the memories and fun times. VIVA LA VACHE NATION!

holy bajeezes.. Cow Nation?! I think that Nekos have been getting to me.. let's try this again..
VIVA LA VACHE UNION!

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

:3. RO ruined the community ;)

its been so long i cant imagine what I've missed or even if I've been missed in the process.

ill keep this short because this topic has been dead for quite some time but i still want to say it.
Thank you. As a member who still remembers breaking the highest activity record with you all, i really loved this site, but as you said we all sort of found our way in the world.

ill always look back fondly on the memories and getting way too off topic with sano just to get yelled at by red hot and django

so long for saryos, your resident amv god

Hey! You guys need to cut it out xP. Its been a long time guys; sad to see such a big part of my life go away after all these years. I do have to say though, we need to keep in touch a bit, haha. I'm Truman Burbank on facebook if anyone wants to friend me. I do miss you guys and the times we had. Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!
