I'll still be running my monthly member meet-ups after this, but I'm trying to have a larger community showing at this particular event. Take care and be safe, and see everyone in the Event thread!

Although TGA as a building is closed, after many community members winning machines and promising to all make sure we keep in touch, TGA is certainly not over. TGA will live on forever inside all of us. It will of course be different, but we as the community will continue forward, which is a huge blessing and the perfect way to close this chapter and begin the new one.

I hope that you will consider the time you shared with me during the past six years as something special and pass on our stories to your children and grandchildren.

So in order to remember how we got to where we are today, and to continue the tradition, I wanted to create a thread where we could all share our unique and funny stories of TGA with each other to reminisce.

Now that the TGA

I'm going to apologize in advance if I seem detached, and I'm not my usual cheery self tomorrow. I am going to be seeing a good portion of you for the first time since November. I wish I could greet you just like it was another normal day at TGA and be at your service.

[SIZE="5"][COLOR="Black"][B]TGA CLOSED FOREVER / TGA TO LIQUIDATE ALL ASSETS IN MAY 2009. [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

It is with the deepest regret, sadness, heartbreak and disbelief that I must inform everyone that our dream is over.

Tokyo Game Action is officially closed forever. With no income and other problems due to the flood, we are drowning in bills it is impossible to recover and reopen.

To pay our creditors and to prevent my family from being thrown out on the street (literally), I am left with no choice but to auction all of TGA's assets.

TGA will be auctioning everything we have in May to pay our bills. Every game, pcb, poster, keychain, chair, plate, fork, Arch stand, figures, software, bowling ball, everything in TGA has to be sold.

I will post more information as this becomes available.
