Tekken Nation Officially Closing Down

TekkenNation.com was once a bustling Tekken website that focused more of the light hearted side to the TEKKEN series in it's heydays. A notable example of which: is of Katsuhiro Harada himself posting on the site clarifying certain details about the game's storyline & characters. The website served as an interesting juxtaposition with the TekkenZaibatsu website which is geared more towards the competitive aspects of the Tekken games. Recently, Cosmic_Castaway posted a thread notifying all readers in advance that the web site will be offline on the 17th of January due to long periods of site inactivity. With this site closure, it feels more like that Tekken Zaibatsu is the main central Tekken hub for the English speaking world despite that website too being generally inactive and feeling a bit too dated for the average user, which will most likely be using social media like a consolidated Facebook group or a twitter account to establish an online presence. Regardless, a lot of Tekken history goes down with the site and there's a bigger void for 'casual' Tekken content on the internet.

I am going to take this time to announce that Tekken Nation will be closing its doors on the 17th of January next year. It's been a good ride, but I can see that the interest just isn't here anymore for users, nor are there many users left to speak of. I have reached out to multiple people in hopes that they would have the interest and time to revive this website, but no one felt up to the task. Unfortunate, because I'm sure this site holds a special place in the hearts of all of us. I know it does for me. I'm glad to have been admin as long as I was, and it was a pleasure getting to know you all.
The friends that I have met here are some of the best I have to this day, and I will never forget this site's part in shaping my life. A special note to all my moderators: thank you for your time; you served me, the site, and the users well. It was a pleasure having you on board. And to Deebo, if you get the chance to read this, thank you for giving me this opportunity.
Happy Holidays, everyone.
