I won't write much. Let me just say that TZ was my only home on the Internet. Where I was at home. Where I felt good.
When I moved in, it was a cramped studio with a bunch of young guys with whom we became good friends, many of whom we still communicate with today, although they are long gone. We were young. We swaggered and had a blast.
Then we moved from the studio to a cool luxury apartment, where you could only get in if you were cool or if you paid. It was super cozy, warm and luminous. There were more residents, but literally each of them was a unique, interesting personality. Everyone lived in peace and harmony, while not forgetting to have fun and tease each other. It was the best time, the best iteration.
Then we were transported to an open open space, where anyone who wanted could go, and gradually the open space filled with a bunch of people. And the former concentrated classiness was slowly diluted with water to the state of homeopathy. At that moment, many bright personalities left TJ. I wanted to leave too, but I couldn’t. By this time it had become one with the TJ.
I didn't agree with the direction we were moving to all the time, but I still felt my close connection with TJ.
Then February 24th happened. To continue the analogy, a rocket hit our house. And the house began to collapse. Marauders ran into it and began to break it down. It was very painful to watch. I, like many others, tried to support the administration financially in any way we could. But the hole was huge and the result was clear.
Today we look at the fragment of that luxurious cruise liner, which for so long confidently and quickly carried us across the waves, gradually disappearing in the murky ocean, and silently salute as a sign of great respect for everyone who was ever involved in TJ:
- Thanks to the creators: Vlad, Nikita, Ilya, Olya, Lev
- Thanks to the editors: Sultan, Vadim, Zhenya, Kolya, Sergey, Vasya, Sasha, Damir, Roma, Kostya, Sasha, Gosha, Sveta, Maya, Dasha, Artem, Katya, Olya, Yana and many others
- Thanks to all users for all the time on the site. Without you this would not have happened either.
Now we are all forced to look for a new home. Someone builds their own, someone moves in with others, but everyone does it entirely out of necessity.
I sincerely wish all of us to remain human, stay in touch, help each other in every possible way and do everything so that we have a reason to meet again one day!
Love you all! You are best!
