A Final Word
Prophecy has been fulfilled.
I can accept responsibility for the poor manner in which I articulated myself here in the past and I can apologize for the impression that often left. However, I shall not apologize for my statements of recent note despite the venomous character assassination they created. As for being a coward, the statements expressed served their purpose and were no longer necessary. If it took a swift kick to your prides ( ie. arses ) to get the truth, then so be it. However, I will attempt to correct a few of the more colorful, if incorrect statements, that have been made.
First off, this forum WAS NOT created nor built to showcase MY talents. If this was the case, then Kevin made a grave miscalculation in his judgement. I find reading what you, Rory, and Kevin ( and anyone else who made the attempt ) contributed much more interesting. Why? Because I could see the improvement in your own work and wanted THAT to be the showcase of this forum. THAT is what this forum was created for. To showcase a CONTRIBUTORY effort...not just one person's effort.
As for fear of the outside world. That too is pure bunk. Would I have produced as much material as was posted if fear of condemnation was a problem? Hardly. The Fanfic itself had primarily become a "Ruin Explorers" story long ago, and that was the main reason most folks took an interest. Not the only reason, but an important one. I had no problem with this. I could just as easily reduced my output to a minimal level to allow Kevin, and Rory, and Amy, and anyone else who wished so, to contribute more. Had they so desired.
But they didn't. And all I ever heard from Kevin was "Everyone is too busy to contribute." Fine. So be it. But when the question was put to him he often replied with the same answer, "I'm too busy." Is this not the kettle calling the pot black?
As for popularity, that was a poor choice of words on my part and I take full responsibility for the mistake. What I should have pointed out was the interest, or lack thereof, in much of what was done here. If I, or anyone else, produces something and then no one takes an interest, is it not wiser to remove, or cease, doing that particular thing and put one's efforts to something more productive for the whole?
"Judge not, lest be judged by the very standards you yourself apply." Remember these words, Rory? Be careful whom you call a worthwhile or worthless person, for you yourself may be found wanting when your time comes. If I were to apply such standards to you, the result would be no less better. But I shall not. And as for friends driven away. I know who my true friends are. Can you say that with equal certainty?
And if I die accomplishing nothing, then I will be unashamed of that. For that was my choice in life. No one has a right to deny me that. No one.
Oh, and one last thing before I sign off for good. The charges that Amy made that I had prevented her from posting were completely erroneous. No such dire deed did I do. I had resigned from my Administrator post long before she came that night. Nor was I even aware that I could do such a thing. Not that it would have mattered, because I would not have committed such a heinous act.
So, after all the bickering and B.S.ing from all sides, I have decided to do the only reasonable thing I can, and that is to remove all trace of my presence from this forum. With the exception of the Fanfic itself, and a few other important elements related to it, all comments and pictures have been removed. Now, you can stand on your own two feet or crawl away in defeat. It is up to you.
Arriverderci.

The reason Amy could not reply...
...was because of a simple program glitch in Runboard's system. As Kevin explained it, this would occur if a virus attack or a large segment of material had been purged. So, it was not quite the deliberate act as was reported though, in a real sense, I may have inadvertently caused it.
One last thought. Kevin, Rory, Amy, etc etc. All of you have a great deal more potential as writers and/or artists than maybe you realize. Perhaps if all of you would stop whining and complaining long enough yourselves, you might just accomplish it. Even if its simply for your own amusement.
Excelsior!

Famoose last words.
I do judge myself by my own standards, which is why I come down so hard on you Scott. I'm working hard on my writing, as often as time permits. I unfortunately have to work on Essays for my english classes, history lessons, and psychology classes, instead of doing the fiction writing I love so much. I could post those, they show a marked improvement over my writing from several years ago. However, I have so little extra time. I have composed three poems and one short story since my last post. For me that is an all time low. I have 4 friends I trust with my life and would entrust my happiness to. I have many others that I consider to be good friends, you among them.I have a smattering of friends that are transient. I have a smattering of problems that are also transient.My grandparents are sick, and dieing of old age, my family is haveing some problems that I am not at liberty to discuss. I have the typical male problem of/with women. I have problems sleeping at night most of the time now. I'm not asking for understanding or sympathy, just stating what is. Life is filled with distractions. Every night I have to put them out of my mind, and work on unrelated subjects, some of which require a level of introspection that is at times painful. I don't complain about it, I just work at it until I can get it finished.I juggle school, writing, work, and volenteer counciling. Consider these last few post therapy, and I'm sorry sir but your five minutes are up.

Re: NEFF Discussion Board
Just wondering, Why are you using an Austrailian Proxy server?
Your IP address, 161.115.61.28, was traced back to Melbourneit.com in Melbourne, Australia.

Re: NEFF Discussion Board
Actually, I'm not. But if I am, I didn't know I was. I guess I should pay attention to the profile, but....Uh. I'm not sure how that happen, but it's wrong. Heh heh. Maybe something happened when I signed up that made it like that. It shouldn't be that way.
BTW, were you guys surprised to see me out here?

Re: NEFF Discussion Board
Yes, we were. But, seeing how you were banned from all LCAS and VAS activities, online and offline, due to your violent demeanor and vulgar language, you have also been banned here.
Sorry for that "Andrew", but rules were meant to be inforced.
