iwz, I truly want to thank you for restoring all of this for us. It feels like a time capsule, but even more than that, a glimpse into the mindset and emotions of our younger selves.

I don’t think I ever fully appreciated this community or what it meant to me. Over the last few days, spending hours reading through old messages, posts, and pictures, I’ve laughed, cried, and had more than a few “Wow, Mike... you idiot” moments.

More than anything, it’s made me appreciate how much I’ve changed, the friendships I still have, the ones I don’t, and the impact all of it had on my life.

One of my favorite parts of revisiting this has been seeing how much music shaped this place. A lot of the bands I discovered through eZabel and through everyone’s posts are still some of my favorite bands today...

Thank you to everyone who helped make this site what it was. I love you all... even the ones who dealt with Rock Supastar drunk off eZabel mod power. Yes, I know and I am sorry...
