Moving On

[Null Parameter]

Well, the time has come for me to move on to bigger things, and no I'm not taking up a post at ForgeHub. ;)

I've decided, for many reasons, that I'm not really needed here anymore. I've been working very hard recently to put people into leading positions to help drive the site independently, without me. Not necessarily so I could leave, but it serves that purpose nicely as well.

I always tell people that they should do what makes them happy, and while I love you guys, doing all this work wears you down and I just need a permanent break. Recent happenings haven't helped this at all, as I've recently discovered that what I have been doing hasn't been appreciated and apparently was me just pissing into the wind, because I wasn't supposed to be your Administrator, I was just here for grunt work.
Homer: Thomas...
Homer: dont you own XF...
Thomas: Homer...
Thomas: I do.
Homer: BANZORZ
Homer: lol
Thomas: lol
Homer: 1 day ban
Thomas: Trust me, I've seriously thought about that and other stuff a long, long time ago.
Zack: thought about what?
Homer: Banning Null
Thomas: I thought about even giving him a "Webbie" title to signify that he's a web coder, not really there for administration. :x
Homer: Thomas would get +1 Homer point for banning null for 6 hours
Thomas: I should ban him with the boards down, see how he'll get pissed off.

I've done what I can to make this a great place, and I hope that some people do appreciate what I've done; and that, in a sense, my legacy lives on in XF. Of course, I'll leave all of my hard work behind, for your enjoyment; including all of the Halo 3 Map Submission and Search functionality.



For those wondering where I'll be, I'm going to be doing some side projects, currently the most prevalent of which is something new called On Air Programmer (http://www.onairprogrammer.com). It's a place where I plan on helping others learn how to program through some new and unique methods. That will be the best place to get in contact with me from this point forward; but it is still under construction, so don't expect a masterpiece quite yet.

I'll also be putting a forum into there for general, completely non-halo related discussion. Once it's up, it will most likely be at a sub-domain on the site, probably xf.onairprogrammer.com, as a tribute to those of you who come visit me. Hope to see you there!


Once again, thank you, all of you, for a great time here. It's been 2 amazing years and I wish you all the best for the next 50+ years of your lives. Good luck and good day.

Wait..

What the fuck?
Of all people to leave..
This sucks.

[Null Parameter]

Wait..

What the fuck?
??

[MultiLockOn]

I'm still deciding on whether or not to take this seriously...

[Mace]

Well, I'm am really sorry you couldn't man up and face a real world problem on a fucking site. I guess Holly's prediction is true now. I'm really disappointed.

[Null Parameter]

I'm still deciding on whether or not to take this seriously...
I promise you, it is serious.

It's not another April Fools Joke (for those who remember).

Edited for clarification.

[Null Parameter]

I've been waiting to do this one for a long time Mace.....

Fuck You!

You fail to realize that there might be more than you have seen that lead to a decision. That maybe I actually wanted this outside of other happenings. You know, like I said in the post.

[Dow]

;_;

[Dow]

So does this mean we can give chales admin now?

[Kyyrbes]

To say i am sad, well that would be and understatement. I will never forget the great times we had, and i hope to have more of them, even if they arent on XF.

~Connor

[Null Parameter]

Maybe is you shared problems with us like a community would, we might have resolved this!
Maybe it has nothing to do with you or anybody else on the site. Maybe it's not even a problem. Maybe it is just a choice to move on.

I think you need to learn that life isn't just dealing with a series of problems.

[iTz Fuzzywig]

BUT I LOVED YOU NULL!!!!!!!!!! DONT GO!!! WE HAD A CHILD TOGETHER!!!!! Q_Q

[Null Parameter]

So does this mean we can give chales admin now?
You're right, that should be my parting gift to XF. ;)


To say i am sad, well that would be and understatement. I will never forget the great times we had, and i hope to have more of them, even if they arent on XF.

~Connor
Definitely. I'll still be available, I'll still be on Skype, I'll still be on XBL. Don't worry, I'm not disappearing completely.

[Blue]

Then it just happens to be after you come to heads with Thomas!

And this isn't about what I need to learn. Don't do that, I'm trying to FUCKING RESOLVE THIS.

But you're not helping.
At all.

[Mace]

But you're not helping.
At all.

Yeah, sure w/e. I'm just a little fucking dissapointed.

[MultiLockOn]

I quit XF.

[Mace]

I quit XF.

Fuck YEAH! Lets all just jump on the bandwagon!

[Null Parameter]

Then it just happens to be after you come to heads with Thomas!

And this isn't about what I need to learn. Don't do that, I'm trying to FUCKING RESOLVE THIS.
There's nothing to resolve. I had planned to leave last December when my daughter was born, because Thomas had agreed to take over the Admin work. When the time came, he didn't show up to do anything, so I had to return, otherwise XF would have died.

Now Thomas is saying that I'm not an Administrator, and therefore I shouldn't be doing the work. Obviously, since he is the only other Admin, he should be doing it, so he must have intentions to do so. So, I no longer have a need to do it, and therefore no longer have a need to be here.

He was obviously fucking joking! That's Skype Chat, where any shit goes!

W/e, I can't stop you.

[aMoeba]

Well, what is there to say? Today is a sad day resting upon the evening of September 4th, a day which will always be remembered on XF.

Its been a great run Null. Even though you are gone, I hope this website can still advance. I would hate to blame Thomas or something else for catalyzing the drastic decision (even though it was originally your daughter) but after total realization I too would take raising a family more importantly than a website.

Don't fret, though, Null. For the most part, we all loved you and appreciated your work. I hope now that your dedication can shine through in your newer priorities, and I hope we can still get some games on Live.

You shall surely be missed. I pray this website doesn't spiral downwards into hell.

Because quote boxes look neater:

To those who say this website will plummet and that you're already quitting; I encourage you to not give up hope quite yet. Null was definitely a massive part of our framework as a website, but I, and I think most, if not all of the other staff are dedicated to keeping this site running strongly and proudly. These forums may be in the slums as of now - what with Null leaving and us downgrading servers, but these actions were inherently already necessary. You all should be glad its lasted as long as it has, as this really should've and would've happened months ago, and that this moment didn't occur when there weren't enough of us [staff].

[Null Parameter]

He was obviously fucking joking! That's Skype Chat, where any shit goes!
I disagree, but what's done is done, and in the end I think it is a good thing. If not for XF as a whole, at least for me. Personally, that should be enough for you to support my decision.

[Mace]

W/e, I can't stop you.

[Null Parameter]

Thank you aMoeba, that means a lot to me.



And Mace, there is a huge difference between dealing with a decision and supporting it.

[Dow]

Nulls Wife is viewing the thread now, this could get interesting.

Not that I am interested in seeing you leave, I <3 you.

Thanks Dow. And her computer is just still up and running because she was reading people's replies. She is lying in bed, so don't wait up for a huge response.

[Mace]

And Mace, there is a huge difference between dealing with a decision and supporting it.

I will never support your decision, however, I am accepting it.

[Null Parameter]

For those of you who are interested, and legal, Psycho and I are going to be playing some Drunk Halo, to go out in style.

[Kenny M]

Well, I'm am really sorry you couldn't man up and face a real world problem on a fucking site. I guess Holly's prediction is true now. I'm really disappointed.

Lmao I love how you can still be an ass to someone that tried to help you.It literally made me ROFL all over my carpet.

[Mace]

I'm getting on.

[Tim]

Jesus it's just like death. Internet drama comes in waves of 3. First AZN leaves, now Null retires.

So who's going to be #3?

[MultiLockOn]

Jesus it's just like death. Internet drama comes in waves of 3. First AZN leaves, now Null retires.

So who's going to be #3?
Me.

[Miraj]

I respect Null's decisions ,because anything that he decides, it is often very well thought-out. So instead of telling him or asking him that what he is doing is wrong, or that he should not leave, is just not very appreciative. I think instead of criticizing Null's decision, we should all just support him and wish him a good luck on whatever he is planning.

Good Luck Null!

[Null Parameter]

Jesus it's just like death. Internet drama comes in waves of 3. First AZN leaves, now Null retires.

Timothy! You're of age. Aren't you going to grace us with your virtual presence? :D


Thank you Miraj.

[FledgelingFenix]

Its clear now a empire will rise then fall. poeple are leaving everyone's showing true feelings so I guess Null have fun on your retirement. Thomas is being alittle harsh on certain points(true). Azn FTW left but now I guess we could rebiuld or Im off to monitor biult(not sure yet). If so this is the end I bid all farewell if not I might stay but I seriousely cant believe XF's is collapsing from this somewhat of a moderate problem. We need to keep the peace because this was a great site now it goes to hell so fast. WTF?

[LastRideFTW]

I didnt really know you very well but im sad to see you go =(. As somebody else said, I wish everybody would stop asking why and just accept your decision. Its gonna be so weird without you here on XF. Well have fun playing drunk halo with psychobucket. Oh and goodluck in the future to you holly and your daughter. =']

Just because some people are moving on with their lives, does not mean the site is collapsing. Billions of people die each day, Billions of lives are given. Null has most definitely created a well educated decision, which none of us have the right to disprove in any way. We must not see our past, but continue to improve our future. When the military fights a war, they do not surrender when they get one casualty. You must continue, head up, fight for your pride, in this case your pride for XForgery. If you think the site is collapsing, then do something about it. Do just back off and say you are switching sides, not saying MonitorBuilt is a rival in anyway.

[Tim]

Timothy! You're of age. Aren't you going to grace us with your virtual presence? :D


Thank you Miraj.

Give me 3 weeks and I'll have all the time in the world to act like a drunken retard in Halo. Gotta finish the whole Navy thing first.

OH AND THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS GUY IN! :onfire::onfire: :onfire::onfire: :onfire::onfire: :onfire::onfire: :onfire::onfire: :onfire::onfire: :onfire::onfire:

[Letol]

Null, you'll still be stopping by here and there, right? It just wouldn't be the same without you here. I guess it would be a little awkward, but either way, best of wishes in life. I'll stop by that website and check it out sometime.

As for the people who plan to leave because of this, well, please don't... This is the greatest community I've found around here, you know, Halo map forums, and I'd hate to lose it. I had never really gotten into any Halo map forums until I found XForgery, and if this website collapses, well. I guess I won't be seeing any of you anymore. I hardly ever come here for the maps anymore, just to hang out. I'm not even sure how to write it down...

[Kenny M]

Just because some people are moving on with their lives, does not mean the site is collapsing. Billions of people die each day, Billions of lives are given I don't think billions die/ given birth to a day. Our population of the world is only like 6.7billion if it was like what you said it would be like in the 50+ billions:onfire:

[Boston]

Null was one of the reasons why I really appreciated this site so much. I even told him a few months back, that I would never have gotten to know the admins/mods on FH or other sites. This is such a heart breaking story. Really it is. I don't think anyone will take this post by me seriously, but I really am saddened by this. Null, you were a big part of my time on this site. You were always there for me when I needed help, and someone who I could just talk to. Null, even though we have never met in person, you have been a close friend of mine these last few months.

Since I basically dropped out of college, I haven't seen many friends. The one person that I constantly talked to daily was you. Nobody is really around me anymore other than a couple people who I was never close with, but I always made time to get in some games with you. You are a truly great guy, and I hope that someday I will get to meet you in person.

I also want to just say that, even though this may sound weird, everytime I look through my phone to call up someone to see how they are doing, I always scroll and stop on your name, "Null" as it is listed. Even though I never did call you, we texted a couple times.

There is always going to be the imfamous "sex box talks" in the shoutbox on this site. Never have I ever had that much fun talking to people here on XF, and to top it off, I was at work. That was a great day. To branch further off of this, me you and Time Glitch always had the best convos. I really am going to miss those days.

Null, even though I have never met you in person, you have been a big part of my last few months. Please don't take that in a creepy way. I guess I never really knew how great of a guy you were until now, since you are moving on. Being part of the staff on this site is almost a dream come true (in Halo website talk), and now that you are gone, I feel that my position here doesn't mean much anymore. For now I will remain Master Reviewer, but when Denominator gets back, I will talk to him and see what he thinks. As gay/cheesy and weird this may sound, but without you being around anymore here on XF, it feels like a hole has been put inside of me.

I really hope that the community here truly realizes how much Null cared for this site. Honestly, without him here, I never would have stuck around as long as I did. Take care Null, and it would mean a lot if you still wanted to play some games with me. You will be missed.

-Boston

[MNM1245]

Wowzers in my trowzers!

I come onto XF today and this is what I see :O
I don't know who to blame for this...Karly cause she was born, Holly cause she married Null, Null's parents for having a hetrosexual child. Damn them. Damn them all!

lol

anywho bye Null. I guess I might see you on MSN? Or LIVE or something. But who do I talk to to get the theme in place now :O

Okay but guys really if you're going to leave cause Null left you couldn't be any dumber. It isn't like the site is going to crash and burn into the ground now that he is gone. And if we all leave XF and it gets lost in the dust I would have to go back to FH's Graphics and Arts section where I have pissed off plenty of people....hehe But really Boston is Null the only person that you enjoyed talking to in the shoutbox and now that he is gone you don't want to hang around XF as much and spam all your posts still? Come on. Do you really want to just sorta disregard/ditch all your other friends on here? (Like me ftw!)

btw guys stop being so over dramatic. It is retarded. And this could get interesting cause Thomas' slogan is "The Dead Administrator" Uh oh...

[Canadians360]

Frankly I was expecting a few different reactions from this. Null from the time Ive stayed here I have to say you were the embodyment of XF. Members looked up to you, and were not affraid to talk to you. Your patience was admerable at least and your effort allways at one hundred percent. As members of XF most take for granted everything you have done. Map searches, thumbnails, even the little things like title rotators; I will always appreciate the work you put into those and I hope others will too.

You were the most dedicated member to the site regardless of your position. For a site you did not create you truely put your heart and sole into this place to make our time that much more fun. Two years of constant dedication is more time than any member will put in, in four or five. I do not blame you for moving on, nor will I beg for your return. Instead I am appreciating what you have done and wish you the best of luck in your future.

Your doing exactly what you would tell anyone else to do in your shoes and I respect that. You've brought great times to this site and now I encourage you go do whatever makes you happy. Enjoy your new path through life and love every moment of it. Spend some time with Holly and Karly and stay on that path through life. I would never ask of you to give so much of yourself to a site that you have nothing left of your own.

I hope you think of us at least from time to time. Since I am intrested in programming I will be watching you as you travel allong your newly paved road. Ill try to stay in touch and tune in as often as I can. Good luck with your new venture.

So be happy don't deal with problems you have no need to let weigh you down, and enjoy your future but more importantly your preasent.

To the members or staff of xf you really should know, no amount of protest, begging, threats or outragous comments will make null re-assume his position. He is leaving for a new purpose and to spend time with his family. It's not something to joke about, it's not a decission made lightly, respect your former admins decision and wish him well, making his leave painfull is something that no one wants to see.

Goodbye null, you truly were a picture perfect admin and I mean that. You will allways be mixed.

[Miraj]

I don't think billions die/ given birth to a day. Our population of the world is only like 6.7billion if it was like what you said it would be like in the 50+ billions:onfire:

Thank you for looking at it technically. How could I have said billions? :O

I am sorry.

[codemanj94]

well i dont go on Halo anymore or this site either. I've grown away from games since school started D: But I didnt even know that AZN left and now Null? Yea you guys can say that he was just an admin but really? Think of everything he did here... Also all the good times. I know i only joined in March but since then, its been a good run. The point is that Null, we <3333333'd you, and some of us didnt but thats the way that some of us are. Not that that is a bad thing but you can at least TRY to be nice. Anyway good luck raising a family and your job. SHALL YOU LIVE TIL 100 AND ABOVE!

[Boston]

MNM, I will most likely still be around, but that is just how I feel about this. It's like getting dumped by your gf, and there is no other reason to be happy...you know what I mean?

[codemanj94]

Also, it seems that people are getting bored of video games. I know I have gotten bored of Halo, but that doesn't mean I'll quit forever. Read these words carfully: You will come to a point in your life where you cannot do everything you used to... Sometimes, new things happen, and you have to mov eon. I mean, what if the world started a huge war with Aliens right now? Then what? Would you still be playing games and going on here EVERYDAY?

[l33tmeerkatslol]

For those of you who are interested, and legal, Psycho and I are going to be playing some Drunk Halo, to go out in style.

Classy. ;)

It's been great having you as Admin. You were the best. I don't think we could have asked for a better one. Respectful, honest, fair, caring.
Although none of us like to see you leave, most of us are glad that you are enjoying your life and doing what makes you happy. So Mace, this is no longer about us anymore, it's Null's life. He takes it the direction he wants to go. We should all support him.
I don't think leaving XF is the right thing to do. Maybe one of your friends is gone, but life is FULL of losses, and we're all just going to have to deal with them. Not run away from it. So I conclude it with a Thank You. /shake hands

[Soren515]

Wow. Good bye Null. I believe that this site is going to become less active now. Null was one of the many reasons i got on it anymore. I hope to still see you around though. As an achievment once told me, Beat Campaign on Lengendary Tanks for the Memories

[Gunnergrunt]

Well my farewell won't be as long as the others, but goodbye Nullbert.
We never had the chance to get on good terms again, but I always admired the way you ran this place. I respect your decision to move on, and I wish you the best of luck man.

[Prod]

I'm not going to go on about this because i never had a chance to have a proper conversation with you. however i appreciate what you have done for the site and wish you all the best with the future.

[Sotha Sil156]

Oh, friend, my time is short. But while I am here, I would like to say a few short things.

I will miss you, man. You were my XF experience. It will never be the same without you. I hope you stop by every now and then to see what's happened though.

I would love to play some XBL with you sometime. Every session I was in with you was great fun, even if we were just sitting in a lobby talking to each other about random crap for two hours. Oh, the times...

I bid you luck and speed in wherever your life may take you. I wish you the best of times and friends in wherever you may end up. I hope you stay the course you set for yourself and not be swayed from your goals.

[Ribbo MKII]

It's sad to see you go now but good luck towards the future.

Bah. You don't love me. I have been an asshole to you. But I do appreciate everything you have done to keep this pixel-based forum of Halo 3 going, and I am pretty sad you are deciding to leave. I mean, I know why you are leaving, it's certainly a valid reason, but damn, you were a big reason this site kept going. We'll all miss you with the exception of UndoingChales and Thomas and Dow, I guess.

*Sigh* This is useless. You aren't going to read this.

But bye, anyway, Chris.

[Zak]

Well I'm dissapointed but I will miss you man. I appreciate you being an Admin and a good friend. You will neverbe forgotten and I will be on that other website often to learn how to program a bit better :). Honestly I don't know what to say except that I hope you have some fun with the extra free time and I hope you build some memories with karly and your wife.

[Spooxeh]

:( THE WORLD IS ENDING

[Null Parameter]

Thank you everybody for the very kind words, and like I said before, don't worry, I'll still be alive and kicking. I have no intentions to give up playing video games, so I'll see all of you on XBL.

I even plan on utilizing my new site to possibly develop some tools to help out gamers, just like you guys. Custom Game Finder maybe?

[l PATRICK l]

im sorry to see you go, once again thanks for the good website, seeya later null

[Kyyrbes]

Oh my, I had almost forgot.....

OVERBOARD

[Dow]

thank god, you finally stop being an a$$hole and leave this site, jeez null took you long enough

fuck you. leave. now. I'm serious.

[Skittlemeister]

thank god, you finally stop being an a$$hole and leave this site, jeez null took you long enough
Are you kidding me?

Oh my, I had almost forgot.....

OVERBOARD

OVERBOARD!

Overboard!

[Ribbo MKII]

thank god, you finally stop being an a$$hole and leave this site, jeez null took you long enough

Lol he's the arsehole? You really have landed in the shitter now, I suggest you
appologise now before you have a few people who start to dislike you
man.

[PsychoBucket]

As for the people who plan to leave because of this, well, please don't... This is the greatest community I've found around here, you know, Halo map forums, and I'd hate to lose it. I had never really gotten into any Halo map forums until I found XForgery, and if this website collapses, well. I guess I won't be seeing any of you anymore. I hardly ever come here for the maps anymore, just to hang out. I'm not even sure how to write it down...

I would also like to point out that by quitting you are waisting all the hard work and time Null put into XForgery. If you support Null enough to quit because he is leaving, you should consider staying and putting his hard work to good use. We have been spoiled here at XForgery. We have what I believe to be the best community on any Halo related website. We also had an Admin that was better than we could have possibly hoped for. Now Null is gone, but throwing away the community we have here would be foolish.


Nul l- I think you should stick around. You don't have to leave XF just because you aren't Admin. It might be nice to enjoy XF when you don't have to spend all that time working on the site. Plus you will miss us too much! ;)

I don't think he plans on never being on XF again, it is like an adiction! I just think it will be nice for him to just be a member and actually have time to enjoy the site.

[BabySmuggler]

I get it. Everyone deserves to make their own decisions. The only thing I ask is that, if the site does begin to falter, you have to be able to step up and take charge. Other than that, I wish you luck, and I want you to know that you will be missed. From now on, members that join won't know what it was like to have the best administrator.

I get it. Everyone deserves to make their own decisions. The only thing I ask is that, if the site does begin to falter, you have to be able to step up and take charge. Other than that, I wish you luck, and I want you to know that you will be missed. From now on, members that join won't know what it was like to have the best administrator.

I agree with you about having the best admin possible. Like I said, Null was probably the main reason why I stuck around so long before it just became a home to me.

I would also like to point out that by quitting you are waisting all the hard work and time Null put into XForgery. If you support Null enough to quit because he is leaving, you should consider staying and putting his hard work to good use. We have been spoiled here at XForgery. We have what I believe to be the best community on any Halo related website. We also had an Admin that was better than we could have possibly hoped for. Now Null is gone, but throwing away the community we have here would be foolish.

Nul l- I think you should stick around. You don't have to leave XF just because you aren't Admin. It might be nice to enjoy XF when you don't have to spend all that time working on the site. Plus you will miss us too much! ;)

I thought about this too. At first I was like I am leaving too, but it wouldn't be right. After everything Null did, I don't want to see everything crumble down into a pile of just memories. Hopefully we can keep this place just as fun as when Null was full time admin. Also, it might be cool for Null to just be a member like all of us now, and not the one calling all the shots. He might enjoy it.

Very well put! :thumbup:
I don't think he plans on never being on XF again, it is like an adiction! I just think it will be nice for him to just be a member and actually have time to enjoy the site.

I was hoping this was the case :D

[jaybo1996]

Don't call me a wimp, but seeing this and reading the comments actually made me cry. We'll miss you forever null! Please, come on live from time to time. I Don't think It's really worth coming here without you...

[Zackj191]

I remember that conversation. You didn't see however the part where he said you actually did good stuff for the site and helped it alot.. That was way earlier.

[xSharpshooter94]

Anyway I have nott made my opinions know on the matter much outside Null and a few others during drunken Halo night, but still well miss ya Null.

It's always darkest before the dawn


when your world is weary,
when all is dark,
when dreams die and fade away,
and all of life is stark,
take heart in gentle love,
for she waits in the wings,
and where she walks,
fairies dance and angels sing,
though you cannot see her,
she weaves a silken touch,
leaving footprints in the sand,
sprinkling spells and such,
lighting the dampened corridors,
the dark corners of your mind,
leaving you breathless,
bewildered by her kind,
goodness glints in her eyes,
hope is in her arms,
and all you've ever dreamed of,
rests sweetly in her charms.


It truly is darkest before dawn. And this, my friend, appears to be our greatest darkness. Should we wait for our light? No, we will strive for it. Thank you Null, for everything you have done for us, and for all that you have given every single one of us.

No matter what arguments we may have had, no matter what we thought of at the end, I have always respected you, and I always will. You have my thanks, my respect, and my friendship.

May your days be long, and your nights peaceful old friend.

My god Simple Plan sucks.

[DeathsFriend22]

I quit XF.

As do I. Null was the heart of XF. This is truly a blow to the community. Thomas can have fun with the members he says he doesn't like, this site will probably be shut down.

Also, I will no longer be writing my stories.

Null, I'll see you on XBL sometime.

[Skittlemeister]

You're joking...

[DeathsFriend22]

You're joking...

Not at all. Maybe I'll visit every once in a while, but this site is going too far downhill too fast, and Thomas, the guy who has done nothing for this site for months now, is the only guy with the power to fix it. Given that he doesn't like the new members and he thinks Null's done a bad job, there's no way he'll be stopping the metaphorical downhill slide. In fact, the site will probably be shut down.

[Skittlemeister]

I doubt THAT, but...

Whatever, it doesn't matter to me.

[wiggums]

Null, you'll always be remembered. I can't believe you are actually leaving. Just know that you will be sorely missed.

As for all you pessimists, I pledge to stay faithful to XF until the very end.

[FragZombie24]

Okay.. *POPS FINGERS*... First of All.. the time ive been coming to XF and stopping by to check up on you folks.. Whether it be just in the shoutbox or lurking in the forums. Granted I havnt posted a lot here, But I still know whats going on here... I check back here often.. Anyways on with it, NULL is the only person I have talked to who actually was doing stuff here. He also took the time to help me with a few things even though he works throughout the week at IBM and then comes home and works here. He still helped me.. Thats a true helping hand if you ask me. I don't know Thomas and im not going to talk a bunch of hooblah on anybody here. But NULL has been a very cool dude in the short amount of time that Ive been talking to him.


Null, no matter what your decision may be. Leaving XF to pursue your own 'Niche' Just know that I will still be there to check out what you've got going on. And I will not stop checking back here to see what you XFians are doing. Because after all, You guys are all cool in my book. People I Havnt talked to are 'OK' but the people I have talked to are WIN!

aMoeba
Boston
Null
MultiLockOn

just to name a few.

I hope XF doesn't fail.. But I do know that it's losing one of it's biggest assets. And that is Null. Keep it real, Keep it really real!

-Frag

[Silver0range]

Before I make any judgments about this, I want Thomas's response.

I understand that he's just the straw that broke the camel's back (correct me if I'm wrong), so here's to Null. I never really hit it off with you, but you always seemed to be the idealistic administrator and a pretty level-headed guy. Best of wishes to you. I hope it's not redundant after 9 pages of well-wishes.

[Soren515]

May Hogar shine upon you an abundance of tiny crates.

That statement was total win. I'm glad Null and Gayne explained that to me.

[ER1C0]

Oh, sorry to see you go. I didn't really get to know you too much, but you're on my XBL friends list, so I know there's at least something.

Maybe I'll see you on LIVE sometime. Bye.

[codemanj94]

wait, are you still going to the party next summer? is that even going on still?

[Tim]

wait, are you still going to the party next summer? is that even going on still?

He's not leaving completely so I'm sure it's still going on.

[Time Glitch]

Well I've kinda said my goodbyes on the "XF isn't dead!" thread, but I might as well say something here as well.

I remember when I came to XF, I knew maybe one or two people on the site (Yes, AZN did recruit me to the site), and that was it. And so here comes Null Paramter, the big higher up, posting on my little introduction thread with a welcome hand. That hand led to me being integrated into this community better than any community I've ever come across.

The friendly and open atmosphere here at XF will not die with Null's depature. As long as we continue in his stead, that idea will not go away. We can still provide an awesome community and a friendly environment, just as we always have. Sure, it'll be a bit different, but hey: Life happens.

On a more personal note, I am very glad I met you Null. Intelligent people on the internet are hard to find, and you brought a lot of them together here at XF. You've always been a supportive person in every encounter I've seen you in, including anything I've ever talked to you about. You're one of the good people in this world, and I hope you have nothing but the best with your family and life.

Best of luck =)

[Gollygeeanelite]

Thank you for your service.

I will always appreciate the infraction you gave to me. I deserved it. I hope that you enjoy life and though you said you won't really drop in, I hope your wife will let you from time to time. Reading the 100 posts made me sad. That's ridiculous how they talked about messing with your settings...

Long live recruits. Good luck with life

And Patrick, WTF...

For those that care, the forum is up and running at OAP.

As promised, the url is

I've lovingly entitled the Forum

Right now, it is really barebones, two forums and that's it.

it said my email address was too short to sign up

No idea, I didn't have to register at my own site. ;P PM me a pic if you could.

[MultiLockOn]

I already registered, dawg.

[Boston]

Oh snap I am registering now!

[FragZombie24]

I was the first to register :D Syntax Error FTW!

[xFr1ct10nx]

Null, I believe you made the right decision. I still wonder the same about me doing all this event stuff for Sour Grunt(Considering thats pretty much all that goes on at the site). Sure you may be considered the programmer or whatever you think you were. I just think all my work is under appreciated because no one visits SGP. The reasons are sort of different, but sort of similar and I've been trying to make the same decision you just did. Good luck to you Null. I knew thee well.

On a side note: does this mean Holly's leaving?

EDIT: And this all happened within the three days I was gone(or four) WHAT THE FUCK!

[Nulls Wife]

I am not leaving, but I never really posted much anyway. Null isn't 100% leaving either though.

[Boston]

If Holly leaves, who will have sex talks with me? Lol

[MultiLockOn]

If Holly leaves, who will have sex talks with me? Lol
I will. :D

[Boston]

I will. :D

Lol, even when the sex talks are explicit and hardcore? :D

[MultiLockOn]

Lol, even when the sex talks are explicit and hardcore? :D
Hell yes.

[Nulls Wife]

Multi you have sex????

Boston I will never give up our sex talks!

[DeathDriver86]

First of all people, like Holly mentioned way before, it isn't like he isn't coming back here ever again, it's just he isn't an Admin anymore. For those of you taking this so personally, you really should just turn your computer off. Go ahead. It's for the best.

Null, without a doubt you are the man. By far the one who in MY opinion, has done a great deal of good for this community. Ever since I joined and you left me that nice little welcoming message on my visitor page, that made it so contemporary cozy in there, to the creation of The Elders Drunk Halo night. It was awesome. It is awesome. It forever shall be, awesome. For those who disagrees with my opinion, go soak your heads. Preferably with sulfuric acid. Again, it's for the best.

Null is the man. There really isn't much else to say. Retired or not, he will always be the Admin that I remember on this site. Nothing against Thomas, I just interacted with Null far more. Sadly it's not going to be that way any longer...but it's his decision, and I support him 100%.

This is the *Unofficial Voice of XF saying: 'FAREWELL....for now....'

P.S. There should be a Drunk Halo night WEEKLY- just putting it out there.

*Remember this Holly? When ODST comes out, everyone will hear the 'voice' again...

[Nulls Wife]

*Remember this Holly? When ODST comes out, everyone will hear the 'voice' again...

:thumbup: I can't wait! I missed the 'voice' a lot!

[Defiance]

I just came back....
I support you I just wish it wasn't so.
I hope we will always have enough walls for our balls and enough Hogar for all of us.
I truly hope you are happy and you will be missed a lot.
If you don't think so then I'll make up for it with big manly tears :']
I hope you stick around in some form because I couldn't bare to lose my Nullie-Poo.

Bye for Now Chris <3

Holly, if anything, there is always facebook :)

And btw, I feel I am going off topic so I will just say that I heart Null in a non sexual way.

[Hadokenchild]

Due to a nasty virus (the digital kind) I haven't been able to visit lately, so bare with me as I have resorted to using my Wii to type this. While my interactions with Null have been few, he came across as a great person who would go out of his way to help you. While my reason for being here is because of bos, I ultimately have to give the same gratitude to Null. Cus without him bos wouldn't be here and without bos I wouldn't be here. I also would like to echo the sentiments previously stated. Jumping ship now will not only disrespect all of Null's hard work, but will make recovering from his departure that much more improbable. While this thread reads like a eulogy, Null's not dead people. While he will now be a part of the regular community, I hope that when the time comes he can return as admin if he has the ability to do so. Thanks Null, we'll miss ya. (I think bos needs to be on suicide watch lol)

[MeNaCe x TIGER]

I <3 Null!

[Wolves]

I think we should take this away from null leaving
Well, what is there to say? Today is a sad day resting upon the evening of September 4th, a day which will always be remembered on XF.

Its been a great run Null. Even though you are gone, I hope this website can still advance. I would hate to blame Thomas or something else for catalyzing the drastic decision (even though it was originally your daughter) but after total realization I too would take raising a family more importantly than a website.

Don't fret, though, Null. For the most part, we all loved you and appreciated your work. I hope now that your dedication can shine through in your newer priorities, and I hope we can still get some games on Live.

You shall surely be missed. I pray this website doesn't spiral downwards into hell.
that is a professional statement where as mace was a complete immature dick. I love xf and all that it has and had to offer including null. I hope null can get along with his family and his life.
