Eel Bye Bye
Eel Bye Bye
numerous blows from the authority. Started with the major bust of The
NotSoHumble Babe of USA and The Grim Reaper of INC, and the dominoes
just keep collapsing. A lot of boards are either going down and
converting to Public Domain, or unfortunate enough to be busted.
After a call of warning from Sought After saying that the
authority is going for every high-profile pirates in threads, I wonder
if this whole thing is worth my life for. I'm not saying I believe
everything he said, but considering that I'm going to college in a few
months and becoming too busy to handle modeming businesses, I can't
stay in modeming world much longer even if I wanted to. I have a nice
personal life, a nice circle of friends, and most importantly, a nice
and trusting reputation dubbed by all the people around me. They think
of me as a good person with good morals, and if modeming corrupts me
any further, I might just well go for a suicide.
I'm terribly sorry for leaving, not because that I can't have fun
with people anymore, but because that I'm leaving a lot of people
disappointed and alone in the dust. I had a ton of responsibilities
from trainers to magazines to Ansi's, and I know a lot of people are
counting on me for numerous projects and chores. You can call me a
wimp or a irresponsible jerk, but I just want to say this: "Is this
hobby worth my whole life for?"
I'm not preaching to anyone that they should quit or not, it's
your own decision. I'm not just blindly follwing what Sought After
told me, but I also thought about life as a whole. There's a long way
down the road, and there's absolutely no reason to trip and fall off
the cliff at the age of 17.
It's certainly been great in my almost 3 years of modeming. It
gave me confidence, new skills, another social life, and the taste of
patience and ambition. It's a great hobby and I'm sorry it had to end
this way. I have to go on in the cold, hard real world and spend more
time on school matters, my job, and everything else that REALLY matters
to me. It's time to face the facts, time to face the music, and time
to face the ultimate meaning of what life really is.
My board, Pool of Radiance, will be down, probably permenantly.
So please stop calling it. Here're some people I'd like to say goodbye
to, from the bottom of my heart. It's been great knowing you guys,
good luck in your futures.
-Rescue Raider: Sorry RR, it has to end sometimes. I've done
everything I could to help with your awesome
trainers. Someone else would have to pick it up
for you. You're a great person and thanks for
all the cheats and trainers you've written for
all of us to enjoy.
-Atz/Golden One/SCD: Sorry for procrastinating on my articles and
Ansi border guys. I've been awfully busy
and I was going to work on them today until
I made this decision. You guys are great
scholars and very talented. Don't let this
ruin your bright futures.
-RaD Man/Black Spyrit/ACiD: I've only made one Ansi in my ACiD
career but I hope it made a mark in
history. It's been really swell of
you guys to accept me in after only a
