Hi everyone. Well, I guess this is it. Some of you know me by my real name, Jesse Towner. Recently, I've been going by the alternate nick name JesseT on these forums, and by Jesse in the #gamedev IRC channel. I've been thinking about this for a couple of weeks, and what to say, but I guess I'll just say things off of the top of my head. As some of you will note, I was recently banned under the JesseT account; however, I'm not creating this thread in reaction to that event. I was planning on posting this to the forums regardless for some time, and I guess now is as good a time as any. I'm not doing this to troll the boards or to get attention really. I'm not leaving the forums in protest or anything like that, but rather due to circumstances elsewhere in my life that are outside of my control. So I wish this to be sincere, and would appreciate it if theis thread remained open. Anyway, just wanted to say that my time here was fun, and I would like to extend my greetings out to the following with whom I have spent my online time with over the years, in no particular order: Dan Firahs Johnny Mithrandir ... "I wish there was a place with no idiots." Evaclear, many good old times. nes8bit aka Timothy "The G-Man" Barnes. I still remember your VB submission to the original Four Elements contest. Fond memories. Pouya aka The TA Overlord, and everyone else at TA. Akura aka Bruno, "Man, Martin pisses me off." garfield, you're always getting into trouble... well, at least you used to. I hope the best for you. blip christian draqza ERJO Exellon Hylix ibutsu foofightr KingDarka Kurifu Mark_ masterg Merc aka Mercury Necromancer pseudo optics Smoogle SteelGolem ... and the rest of the Necrosoft gang!
