Leave Of Absence - LOA
« on: June 22, 2007, 05:14:20 AM »
Hello all.
Just wanted to make everyone aware, I won't be around much over the next few weeks or so.
I spend a lot of time here, and it's not that I resent that, far from it - it's my choice and I do enjoy it.
But I need a lot more free time, and that means cutting the forums out for now.
I may post occasionally, but don't count on it, sorry to leave anyone hanging if indeed they were at all.

The reason I'm taking this time is that my clan is really taking off, we have a lot more members and we're going for broke - a proper website on a real server, a game server, a TS or Ventrilo server as well hopefully.
We may also start with tournaments and stuff, we're on our way up for sure but it's going to take a lot of time and effort on everyone's part.
So basically, I need this time to spend on my clan.
See you around sometime soon though, don't forget me :'(
Calum.

Yes, I mean, oh that's too bad....

:P

Anyways, good luck with your clan.
Out of curiosity, how many members do you have so far?

This sounds silly, but I'm not exactly sure, they won't stand still and be counted.
At a guess, 10.  Maybe a few more or a few less.

    Thanks for letting us know, Calum.  You'll be missed in your absence.  I understand, though.  You've always seemed like such a busy guy, so I can't blame you.  Besides, you deserve a little break.

    I'm also going to be gone for a little bit, but only for a few days.  The "boss" is coming to stay over the weekend and she doesn't let me use the computer while she's here.  I'm going to do my best to tie up loose ends in the malware section before her arrival.

    Anyway...good luck with your clan, Calum!  You won't be forgotten.  Just make sure you don't forget about us.

    Thanks.  We're working on an entirely new site and all too.
    I'm really on about Halo PC, although we have a few members who play Xbox Live as well.  Don't ask me about that side of it though, I don't have an Xbox.
    Best of luck to you Calum & da clan~

    You could say that.
    I basically took a LOA in case I wasn't around as much.
    I definitely won't be here next week.

    Been trying my best to not disappear and if I do to not make it those long absences. After I complete my real life move I'll also try to step up to the plate and maybe come close to also feeling in the big shoes of Calum while also maintaining everything else on Computer Hope. :)

    No worries, Nathan, we know you're a busy guy.  Maybe you should forget about the forums and take care of what's really important.




    My plan to phase everyone else out and keep the forums for myself is almost complete...

    i finally get it... all the pieces fit together... uncle bill realised that CH was the worlds biggest distributor of the truth about windows, hence why there are 10,000 windows questions.... he knew someone would someday find out about it's flaws... and i wondered why you were so nice to me.. it's because you have to keep up that image in order to maintain your secret identity as RULER OF THE WORLD!

    So you better watch yourself. And you too, Bill, because I know that you're watching too.
