Title: GTM is under new management
Post by: ACAMS on February 06, 2013, 07:27:02 PM
Gametechmods.com is under new management as of right now.

Trovaner said he would take over and maintain the forum as it has come time for me to retire.

Here's the deal .....

I need to change my life, I have played long enough.

I divorced 14 years ago and have not been serious since ..... nor have I had many women since (had some wild ones).

I have had a few, but would not get serious with them, but have been talking to a girl I have known for several years and she is very pretty, and for some weird reason she likes me.

So, I have decided to straighten my act up and go after her!

Anybody here ever hear about Murphy's Law? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy%27s_law)

Well we were talking about dating 6 freaking weeks ago and I had to go to work on a long job. (she is VERY pretty and probably has somebody else by now, and I have other problems, so ....)

I caught that flu that killed a lot of people and I was damn near one of them.

Well anyway, my eyes were going bad and I felt like sh** all the time and it got to where my eyes would blurr even with reading glasses on.

I have not been to a doctor since 1998

I went to see a doctor!

He took my blood pressure and started stuttering!

He said it was super high and I was way up in stroke range.

After an EKG, blood tests and all that, he decided that pills would fix me.

They helped my blood pressure, but I have to reach down to make sure the little guy is still there .... Doc said it will get better in time.

I started exercising and realized I am in pitiful shape, so I spend my spare time exercising now.

Some of you know I am old ..... none of you know how old.

Next month (March) I will be 55 ..... too damn old to be playing a 10 year old kids game.

I work in the oilfield and make real good money, so I can afford to pay the bills to keep this going, and will if I need to.

I own a machine shop, 2 houses and 2 commercial buildings that I really need to take care of as I have neglected them too.

I already have all the big boys toys I need ..... boats, Rhino, 4x4 trucks, jeeps, guns and fishing tackle .... NO WOMAN ..... I need to fix that!

I have enjoyed having this place and really enjoyed the game for years, but it is time for me to concentrate on other things.

I am not leaving completely , because the force of habit won't let me .... just not gonna run it anymore.

You guys help Trov if he needs help so you can keep your forum going ........ see you around, and I will still run BOTM for a while.

I saw this thread in the side of the main page and half didn't take it seriously and half did, 'twould explain why Trov's back (if he ever 'left' that is) but I thought this was a play on the Disney/Google joke (my chrome crashed before I actually read this) and then I looked at this thread.

I'm only a middleweight here and I haven't even known you for a full year yet, but this forum is one of the best I've seen and I don't think I'll go from it for a while, and you created it.

So! ACAMS, take care of yourself and your life. I wish you luck with your health (That's some scary four letter words man), your love, your job, all that good stuff. Keep trucking on, man. I think I'm gonna miss your half-troll politics posts :mrgreen:

So what does ACAMS stand for?  :dumb)

The name of my machine shop

Anderson County Automotive Machine Shop


sh**ty owner ousted, good owner put in place.

I don't mean to brag, but I think this has something to do with me.


Don't flattter yourself .... you had nothing what so ever to do with it.

I only banned you to put you in your place ...... Trov may make it permanent if you act stupid with him, but I am nice.



On another note ...... in Dec I weighed 285# ........ I am now below 250# and have a rope holding my pants up and every piece of meat on my body aches ..... except one, but he is getting better.


Like I said, I am not leaving right now, just turning it over to Trov.
If you get out of line I will still come down on you ...... even you Nudal.

Good luck ACAMS. Never got to know you really but you seem sensible enough. Women aren't all they're cracked up to be though so don't get your hopes up too much :D. All the best.


P.S. I hope people don't start going stupid now ACAMs has moved on... keep it sane round here.

Wow, okay, just clicked on GTM out of habit and saw this thread.
Seriously, ACAMS, thank you so much for everything you've done over the years, and good luck gettin' healthy and gettin' dat ass ;p
Also, good luck to Trov - may be a hard job, but I feel you're a great choice of person to take it on.
Finally I feel it's a good time to give this place another chance.. I've calmed down a bit, and I have a tournament to finish. :)

Best wishes to ACAMS, running a place like this must be pretty stressful so a break may be what is needed to get your health back in check. Good luck with the lady business and with getting healthy.


Good luck Trov running this forum, have a feeling you're going to need it :) but I have confidence in you doing a great job.

I may be a newcomer but I've seen enough to understand the things you had to cope with in this forum.
the Internet is a disease and must be dealt with respect, too much and you're in trouble.

Dont be shy coming around now Camsy, but I can totally understand why you want to head away and live your life, much the same why im not around much..


Its great you managed to see out the 10th anniversary, Thanks for the 4 years and 15 days of entertainment you made accessible during my time online you will be missed and I think undisputedly now take the top seat in the RA2 hall of fame  ;)

Good luck with life, love and the pursuit of happiness, ACAMS. Thanks for creating this place that has entertained me for almost four years.

Oh, and take the advice in my avatar. Those burners will screw you up.

I doubt it, the only person who was actually afraid of ACAMS was qwerty, and I don't think he'll be hard to quash if he starts acting up.

What ACAMS has done for this community cannot be understated. Hosting the forum for years, giving us a place to talk. As legends of the game go, he'll always be right up there. I for one cannot express my gratitude enough. I believe (Though correct me if I'm wrong), that he is also the reason we got the 1.3 patch.

Thanks, ACAMS. I hope your free time treats you well andyou get done what you want in life.
