This is a must.
It'll be sad to see the Dojo thread go...
-Last stand? Today's the beginning of the 37th week of Dojo updates, as well as the 180th update day and the 217th update overall.
-Take your chance! F-Zero finally gets its second update, having not had one since July 2nd, 2007, and surpasses the Nintendo DS symbol for its number of updates. Kind of depressing, eh? >_>
-This hasn't shifted around since October 22nd, but our five least recently-updated franchises are now Yoshi (August 23rd), Kid Icarus (September 3rd), Animal Crossing (September 26th), Nintendo DS (October 22nd), and newcomer Fire Emblem (November 12th).
-Sonic's now the only revealed franchise without a stage update. Do we get Green Hill Zone for the nostalgia, or Angel Island Zone due to the music, or something else entirely? Stay tuned.
-Monday is now tied with Tuesday for second place in number of stage updates at five each.
-Pit ties with Fox for screenshots: 77 each. Samus was tied with Meta Knight at 63, but gets bumped up to 67. And Sheik jumps ahead of Squirtle and Ivysaur, moving from 8 to 12.
-4 of the last 4 PMs still in my inbox are about Colette. (And 4 of the last 6 PMs I received, period.) This makes me very happy.
Re: The Thread:
If the thread is going to be killed off, I request 3-4 days' notice so I can put together some kind of fairly epic closing post about the significance of the thread, of the game, of Sakurai, and--perhaps most of all--of the Dojo itself. My degree might be in creative writing, but on a whim I believe I can cover a serious real-world discussion as well. I'm already envisioning what I'll say, and it would not disappoint.
Also, I could put in links to some of the greatest quotables from thread participants. But even for me, there's too much content in this thread to run through by myself; if a bunch of people could sign up to read through given sets of ~2500-post chunks (so 50 pages for my 50-posts-per-page comrades, but 25 pages for you 100-posts-per-page weirdos) and pull out some of the greatest quotes (usea replying to Jonk, for example) or most memorable moments (SuperAngelo64's infamous bet), I think that would be awesome for a final summary.

I'm avoiding the spoiler thread for now, and even though I know about the characters, the stages and much of SSE is still a pretty big question mark to me. And the Dojo updates are home to some awesome shots, like the Ness update on Friday. I'm all for keeping this open.
Alright, this is really short notice, so it's a bit unpolished, but here are some random preview excerpts of what bits of a closing post might look like if I were to make it:
Edit: Last note before I go to sleep this time. If you'd rather I just make more of a joke post to close out, let me know. My inclination is to trend toward serious territory, if you can't tell, but I could probably shift in the other direction if that was what the thread called for. (No promises, though.)
Anyway, tomorrow we can start setting up who shuffles through which of the old posts, and then actually going through and compiling memorable quotes... Even if it turns out that the thread stays open and we don't need those quotes within the next couple of days, it'll be good to have them for the end.

I'm with keeping it open too, I've gone through and spoiled myself, but i still find it interesting each day to have a certain topic presented to us, and we can all sit around and discuss it's finer points.
Like some kind of classier oprahs book club.
also i'm up for scanning a section for good quotes too!

Mmmmmm, delicious F-Zero content.
I definitely vote to keep this thread open. I'd love to see it go all the way to the end of the Dojo's updates.

Fun update. Maybe Falcon is in the game after all.
I know, I know.

Every update just makes me more and more anxious to play this game. The level? Awesome. The game? Not in my hands. That is a sad, sad fact.
Goodbye my friend (I know your gone, you said you're gone,
but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (you gotta keep it strong before the
pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it time will never never change it
No no no no
you know it's time to say goodbye
No no no no
and don't forget you can rely

Port Town Aero Dive stage looks freaking awesome just like the game it comes from! I can't wait to see this stage in motion.
I also vote to keep this thread open as well. There still seems to be many people who are following the updates.

I'll volunteer, Jigs. Just give me a set of 50 pages to go over.
No doubt of that. I spend more time in this thread than I really should have. And I enjoyed every minute of it.

I'll take some pages, 50 or 100.
Anyways, this thread should continue to the end...Why you ask?
Betting on the updates is now reasonable!
I mean exact updates, as most of us know exactly what is coming!
Also I want to find out who the eventual screenshot winner is.

Back in the heyday, that remark would have triggered a five page debate on whether the Slime would be a good candidate for Brawl.

It's not too early to start speculating on smash bros. 4
Hopefully Sakurai does his part and provides us with a nice parting update when it's time to go.
Just in case I'm not around when the thread's finally being closed: It's been fun, guys. I may not have posted much, but I've been lurking and reading through huge parts of this megathread. This has been very enjoyable and interesting for the most part, which is pretty impressive considering its size, don't you all think?
Thanks to ant for opening it, to jiggy for his statistics, to the mods (esp. sporsk) for their patience and to everyone else for ... well, this.
See you around on some other thread.
:lol

Strange. Sounds like I'm leaving neogaf.

I'll happily take 25 pages, Jiggs, being a weirdo and all. Just tell me which one.
Alrighty, looks like people are volunteering, so we might actually make progress. Let's just go in order or something...

I started at 10,000 since, let's face it, the thread was really, really slow in the beginning. Anyway, now we just need people to fill in the other 27,500 posts. >_> If not, well, we'll probably pull enough decent stuff out anyway? I don't know. We'll see.
So yeah, let's get looking for interesting quotes and stuff for the thread's grand finale summary (whether that's a couple months away or a couple weeks). Take it slow if need be...
Oh, and if one of you finds out that somewhere in those posts there was some thread explosion over something like My Music or Subspace Emissary, maybe we could just get a link to the whole page so that people in the future could go back and relive the insanity in its full glory.

What kind of timeframe are we looking at Jiggy? 'cause I just did my first 10 pages, and was thinking about doing 10 a night.
