Well.... just to see it he's ok, I sent him an email... have yet to get a reply. ;( I can understand if he just quit modding. I'm pretty much done with modding halo. I'm just here to see what new interesting things have been discovered... I no longer waste all my time in IRC, so... yeah. I just hope I_F is okay.

How on earth (or Halo) could anyone get bored of hacking Halo?

When all the ideas are taken and finished, or being worked on, and the game's hacking buisiness gets mined out. Some people see it coming earlier than others.

I am not gonna stop modding Halo games. Even when i am near death and very old, i will be hacking Halo 88: The Last Spartan XII. Okay....maybe not...that is what i kinda said about Pokemon cards when i was young and liked Pokemon, now i hate it...but that won't happen with Halo.

You say that now, but sooner or later we'll all get tired of halo(some sooner than others)
and then this forum will go dead.

Well, it has been an interesting week...I've been having alot of personal issues lately, and wanted some free time to myself...So, in the meantime, I decided to conduct an experiment...A game of "what-if", if you will...Very few people were told the little truth I could share to keep from wide spread panic or sadness in the people I consider true friends, not halo-acquaintances...These people were also informed to "forget" that they were told...

First off, Chem_Lab is one of my closest friends...Monoxide is one of the few people who has been privileged enough to meet him...None of my "real" friends have any interest in halo, and I try my hardest to keep the two worlds separate...

I have found many things from the past week...The least surprising of which, is that the release of a new mod, is a considerable amount more important than my well being to the halo community...

The most surprising event of the week, was the fact that HaloKing "spoke" to one of my "in real life" friends, and found out I was doing fine...More surprising, was the fact that while he could not keep his lie straight, or even valid, between forums, it was widely accepted as true...This person has never spoken to me, to my knowledge does not even use IRC, and does not know me, nor any of my friends...I cannot begin to even contemplate what was going through this persons mind, or what they hoped to accomplish through a lie...Albeit my experiment was also a lie, it was one generated by me, about me, this person randomly created one they had no way of knowing was true...

Now, to answer a few questions...I am not leaving the community...Yet at the same time, I have not been a part of the community in any real way for several months...I remain to speak to close friends, and hopefully have an educated discussion whenever possible...I remain interested in new discoveries, and our ability to take existing discoveries to new levels...

My website was taken down by me, because I felt I no longer had an interest in keeping it up...It was there for me, because I felt it was important...It was never there for anyone else other than me, and as such, I have no problems taking it down...If you have a problem with this, just remember, its your problem, deal with it...

The deletion of my website, contrary to popular believe, had absolutely nothing to do with Banshee Ace...Those who know me, what I have accomplished, and what has been taken from me, realize his comments were of little consequence...The only reason they warranted a response from me to begin with, was due to a considerably bad day, made worse

Well, at least you're alive

I'm not really in the community anymore either, so I can see how staying the hell away from it can be helpful. However, I wish none of those lies had occurred... I really thought that you were a dead man. I truely thought that those words were the truth. I hope to see you around a bit longer

Iron_forge, I remember the one time I talked to you on IRC, all those months ago. You inspired me to get into Halo Modding. You have, in my mind, been one of the forrunners of the community. When I saw your website down and the tearjerking message there a few days ago... I felt a place in my heart fall...

I know you don't remember me... I was just another stupid n00b, but I can tell you this. This was the fastest thread I have ever read. I was searching down, looking for your name, SOME hope that it might be a joke. I am greatly relieved that is is, and cannot emphasize enough that YOU are much more important than any new mod.

I hope that the stressful issues in your personal life will calm down, and get back to the things you love, be it Halo or otherwise.
