Why not, It has only taken 2, maybe 3 years to get this far......another couple years won't matter much.
 
NOW, for the important part.....THERE WILL BE NO ADVERTISEMENTS ON GAMETECHMODS.COM......YOU HAVE 3 DAYS TO GET IT DOWN OR I TAKE ACTION!!!!!
 
Because of you and Sage, there will be no more sites hosted on gametechmods and when you finish this tournament I am locking your site!

I don't understand. -scratches head- The brackets look fine to me...? You guys mean the Splash page?

@ACAMS: In any rate, if it's a problem, I can just finish this tournament (Tournament 1) and give the prize. It's almost finished anyway. I don't want people losing privileges just because of me, be it sickness, classes, or whatever else. Click for one deserves to have his site hosted though.

I see it on both of my comps.
 
 
I thought Gigafrost added it, it must be something that is in his flash install.

That is the challonge site doing the ads, I get nothing out of it. Actually, I'm paying for it to NOT show the ads:



This is what it looks like on my browser (IE and Firefox), and the public computers at my school. Don't know why it's doing that for you guys. But oh well... ACAMS I'll pm you the password.

Hello Somebody, Apologies for this informal message, but I suppose there is no other way that this can be done. Why am I sending YOU this message? Well, I suppose you seem to be a pretty good guy who is adept at spreading a word or two. What I am about to tell you may shock you, give you mixed emotions, etc. and whoever you tell afterward (Or not depending on who knows who I am). I only ask that you don't respond to this message. Just listen to what I want you to do. Whoever you tell is totally your business and I actually advise that you DO tell what I am going to tell you. Copy and paste this message if you want. I don't care anymore.

You see, I have found out recently that ACAMS (the one providing me webspace), announced on my tournament that I am hosting advertisements on my brackets page. That, and basically the fact that I am simply taking too long to continue the tournament, perhaps in reference to my shortcomings with college courses, my current illness, and so on. He says that If I don't post a video within Two-three days that he will take action (basically in my opinion meaning that he will close my tournament). This is something that is not very alarming to me. He then adds that after I am finished with this tournament then he will be locking up the website. along with not letting anyone else host (Actual thread message).

This partly is of my concern, because the sites of BBEANS and the other tournaments will be in jeopardy of  being closed down. And I don't want to be the reason behind it all. There are other minor issues that I have not addressed, but I guess I don't want to bore you more than necessary. This isn't a rant about how I've been treated and such, nor am I offended in any way.  But all in all, I am officially ending ELBITE.

Now this is where you come in, statistically speaking, you have the best bot with the best possible chance at winning. So as a  christmas present, I'm sending you the Holy Jagged Blade. I really wish I haven't done it like this, being that some may see it as unfair, but oh well. Take good care of it! Copy and paste the folder into your components. She's yours.

(link removed because its mine  :evilsmile: )

As for me... I'm officially leaving gametechmods. You can tell this to anyone you wish, they'll find out eventually. I suppose I just can't make the time to spend it here anymore, and things will just worsen from this point out. For all parties. A tournament bail? Yes. From Gigafrost? Yes. Even though he promised not to? Life is very unexpected. I have now have serious responsibilities in my life both physical and with my own career, and if I continue to ignore them, well... Let's just say that I can't. And I am willing to make the sacrifice in order to better my own being. Even if that means that I am practically destroying my reputation.

On that note, of course as you know, this also means that The Fear and Respect Ratings/Grudge Ally List is now kaput, or at least, I won't be in charge of it anymore. That is for you guys to decide who does what with the system.

I hope you have a good evening. And I hope you and the other community keep their passion for the building of bots alive. My last burden on you is to at least Send ACAMS and the team my deepest apologies and much love and appreciation for the thing's they've done for me throughout the years, and Click, JoeBlo, and Madiaba for being there when I really didn't deserve their help. I do not want to leave on a bad note and I appreciate their efforts in dealing with me and my crazy life. God Bless all of you guys and keep the peace.

~Gig

I got this from Gig on the 16th. I sent him PMs back and tried emailing him (his email address was expired), and I sent this to the mod staff before posting it here. I figured it should be posted just to clue people in on some things. I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but I can't exactly say that this is good news in this PM.

Why did Somebody have the best team? *Frowns*
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
