Hehe, just wanted to do a quick note...

As I'm being asked the question a lot, or people seem to think this is a big conspiracy..

It's not, it's simply life..

Haggard stepped down due to he has no time to do anything.. and he really doesn't want to do this any more, he's done it for the last 4 years.

Red, as you all know, Red wasn't the most active person, and it was him and him only who decided to step down.

Paul stepped down as he has UNI now, and he didn't have the motivation he once had, which is understandable.. it happens.

TCP - WoW (enough said!?)

I've been a higher up with all the above for 2+ years, and it of course upsets me that they are stepping down, this being said, it really is a new start for SG, we're going to dust SG up a bit, a new move to a host this October, with VB4, and some small changes in the community.

We're also going to be introducing a referral program, where you can win cool prizes, and other cool benefits and badges, ect.

Don't see this as bad with all the step downs, with changes, comes new blood.. this is the beginning of the new SG, cleaner, fast, smarter, more modern.. Believe me, you'll be truly amazed in the next month...

We're still and will be for a long time, one of the biggest communities for gaming on the internet... :thumb:

Also, FastDownloads is having some issues, we're changing over to a new host, a very good one in fact, but it's costing me an extra $100 a month for this host... so boy ya!

I feel like you should have just put links to their posts as their reasons are listed there. Besides that, always nice to know you're treating us to some new toys.

I bet every higher up was waiting for you to take the lead so they could go away.

BUT IF YOU SAY SO GARF

ty for supporting the mother fucking community.

At least we're way above the donation goal.

All of these people stepping down will be unknowns to the noobs. Most of us from 09-10 know what that's like. It's our turn now to step up to the plate and keep SG in tip-top shape.

This is the second generation and it looks like it's going to be a fun one.

Remember, people, it's the internet, shit happens. :D

This kind of reminds me of this quote:

“Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts" (Arnold Bennett).

According to Garf, we should be going for the better.

Hang in there! :thumb: :thumb:

Its called growing up. If you kiddies dont know, getting older means getting a job, having a place, paying bills, this one is hard for most to believe, but getting a GF or BF and spending time with them....simply we are getting old

Yah but managing the servers takes away from our playing time.

You and every other American.

I embrace it, though. And, depending on Garfield's efficiency, everything'll turn out well regardless.



(Insert campaign slogan below:)

I have faith and you should too, for Garfield hasn't ever let us down yet! :biggrin:

ya for the oldfags and the closenits who cling together i get that. i wasn't here long but i've also seen that change of players which has left things less fun. It's a sad thing and even if i don't play i'll be sure to stick around forums.

Life can/does get in the way of game time. Not as much as some would like to believe & sometimes more than others would like to believe. (2 steady jobs & random contract work + 2 kids + coaching kids soccer team, etc ,etc. doesn't leave much time to be in-game. I worked from 4am to midnight yesterday not much room for gaming there)

But to take what little game time they have and manage a bunch of servers and a large ass community is a major drain. They stepped down, they didn't say "you'll never see us again" They haven't died! They will still be in-game from time to time.

Thinking of it as a retirement from the "Work" side of the community to the "Play & Enjoy" side of the things makes sense to me. So to those that just stepped down I say

"Grab a drink. Come school us in the servers. And enjoy your retirement, You've earned it!"

LG's, get your asses on the servers if you aren't busy.

Thanks for the new host & forums that will be coming up Garf. You're doing good.
