When I first joined this community, back in the Nekochan days, the community really seemed to be dead in the water! (It was my personal interest in SGI hardware that compelled me to join the community.)

There was little to no development going on and the community had basically stagnated!

With the advent of this forum, I believe these machines have certainly become more appealing to outsiders, as some really interesting software has now been made visibly available for these machines, where it was shrouded in secrecy in the old Nekochan days.

Although I personally love hardware, I do believe that a machine is only as good as the software available for it, and on this front I believe huge strides have been made in the past two years or so.

So maybe, just maybe, the demise of Nekochan may have been one of the best things that has happened to this community in recent years!

A huge thank you goes out to Raion and his team, and everyone who has contributed positively to this community in the last two years or so! (KEEP IT UP!!!)
