I'm leaving the homebrew scene.

[SX]

I will tidy up what ever projects are left such as Dreamcast, xbox, gp2x and not introduce any new features.  This way people should be able to play on all consoles as my parting gift to all of you.


As for the website and sourceforge, I'm handing it over to Damon.  We will move it to his hosting company and it should for the most part be transparent for all of you.


It has been a pleasure working with all of you but life has me real busy, though you will probably still see me lurking around here and there.

Sorry to be reading this, although I'm sure with Damon at the helm Lavalit will be in good hands. I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors and want to thak you personally because without Lavalit I would have never experienced obor.

God speed friend.

Thanks for all the hard work you did with releasing new versions of openbor and such You will be missed.

Also Let's meet up one day for our fated Ken vs. Ken battle on live soon. 

[Damon Caskey]

This is a very hard blow to the community. We've lost our primary coder, as far as I know the longest running developer so far, and the most experienced site host all at the same time. More importantly we're loosing a good friend and the community's spiritual leader. He has contributed a lot more to this community then most of you will ever know, and he will be missed.

SX has already turned over ownership of the site to me, along with the head of devolpment on Sourceforge. It goes without saying he will retain full access, and as far as I am concerned, the same authority as always. All the better to lure him back if he gets the itch to start up again.

 

As SX said, we'll try and make the actual site transition as invisible as possible, and it probably won't happen until november.

Good luck in whatever you do SX, but please don't dissapear fully; the community won't be nearly the same without you.

[NeneBuano]

Heck... good luck with your projects SX.
We have to stick together more than ever now...

[Hanzo]

Then I will be the spiritual leader on the members side of the forum if it's ok with you DC? as a member of course.

I got a keg of root beer in my truck if ya want some? Hehehe......

[SX]

Thank You all for your heart felt responses....  This is why I believe I had chosen the right people for the job when it came to moderating this site, due to the fact we have great members or should I say friends here!  This could not have been accomplished without their hard work and I know for a fact that they will continue to do great job here!!  Hopefully, my leaving will cause others to standup and take the reigns as far as development on the great engine is concerned.

[Vyck_St.Judas]

wow.
the openbor thing would have been long dead imo without this site.
borgen and bor-rev were both good sites but when they were abandoned, there was no where left to go.
i'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work here. fiddling with mods helped me with my depression and gave me something to look forward to. yeah i know get a life vyck. seriously though, its nice be able to create and edit your own living breathing world, even if its just a mod. DC dont take no ****, so i'm sure things'll be cool in your absence.
Still...it's shame to see you go. god bless man, and good luck in all your future endeavors.

[MCW]

SX, please visit here often.

  I really do not want you to disappear forever.

SX is the most commited coder that I truly respect.

UT is the most commited developer that I respect.

Now both of them are not here, this site will be very quiet.

Good luck in the future.

[MCW]

Sorry, I accidently quote and post again.

Sorry for double posting.

I will miss you, SX.

[tendeep2007]

We'll miss you and I hope you visit sometimes.  I'll be praying for you.
