The story from Tass - Page 2

MalReynolds · 11-13-2009, 09:25 AM

Thank you much, good read A++++++ would read again

I'd offer to start my own literature website as a spinoff, but not only do I know nothing about hosting a forum, I'm poor. So if the site shuts down, thanks for the giggles.

I doubt the site will shut down any time in the immediate future... these issues have been going on for over a year now, and the site is still here. Despite the lack of attention and mismanagement, Synth LOVES this site and all of you guys... I know 100% that he will do everything in his power to keep it running, even if nothing new is ever added. His love for the site is, imo, the major reason why the site was never sold... he just couldn't part with it, even when it needed to be set free.

The truth finally comes out, after this much time, thanks a million Tass.

I don't want him to part with it

Even if it means things be put on hold for a little bit.

I'm sure now that everyone has a better understanding of the situation they'll be a bit more patient.

**Bluearrowll** · 11-13-2009, 11:41 AM

Everything will be righteously fixed in time i'm sure.

MrRubix · 11-13-2009, 11:42 AM

Hopefully Synth drops by sometime in the near future, at any rate.

What sucks is only a fraction of us try to make good use of the community, and care. The rest don't even take part. If the site shuts down is there anyway we can keep the forum?

**rajdaddy** · 11-13-2009, 11:48 AM

This is intense.

I debated for a little on if I should post this. But I suppose it can do no harm at this point. This is part of a PM from synth that may shine a little bit of light on his side.

I have a number of burnt bridges that need mending if that is at all possible. I have only wanted the best for everyone here at every level but the outcome is always unpredictable. Always and oscillating mixture of highs and lows.

Over the past 2 weeks, I have been dealing with a number of hardware failures that have required hardware replacements totaling about $2500. This was the reason for the outage yesterday and the reasoning for recent issues with the simfile database. It's a complicated mess that I am finding a way to deal with but as you can imagine. Unpleasant.

When exactly was that PM sent? Aside from letting us know that something happened at one point, it tells us nothing about if that has to do with our current situation.

**-Fallen-** · 11-13-2009, 12:12 PM

Shocking, to say the least. Well all I can say is I hope you're doing alright Tass and hopefully the others are too.

That pm was sent around the time he came back to fix a bunch of stuff with the site....around the end of september.

For those of you who still give half a sh*t about ffr, your support will come in handy.

For the rest of you who are convinced of impending doom, well, enjoy the rest of your time here.

I'll make a post later today / tomorrow talking about the future of Rithum for those interested.

I obviously do.

Izzy · 11-13-2009, 12:46 PM

I don't have anywhere to go. I need to find a new forum.

MalReynolds · 11-13-2009, 12:49 PM

I was in no way endorsing any gloom and doom. In fact, I've been vocally very pissy about the idea of the site shutting down elsewhere. This was the first forum I ever joined, and I'd be devestated if it were to just up and close.

But at the same time, most of the non-FFYa/Staff/Lit posts I make are to call you all a bunch of mouth breathing idiots.

But you're my mouth breathing idiots. And if I ever staple your lips together, it'll be out of love, or because I bought a new staple gun and want to try it out.

Izzy · 11-13-2009, 12:53 PM

Anyone know of any gaming forums or computer forums?
