I must say...

I'm very dissapointed in what's going on here. I pleaded and begged for you all to not let my going away affect the site at all. I see that it was a mistake to trust Justin to run the site. In the last 5 days he's made 2 posts total. Sure, it's more than his average before I left, but it still sucks ass.

I trusted you all to make sure this site would, if not get better, at least stay where it was. Activity has dropped off dramatically. The only reason I have something to read at all when I come here is because I haven't been for 5 days. How is that helping?

I'm not making any money for a while, I started my job, my first official day was thursday at 6pm, which was the first day of the pay period, so I won't get a paycheck for 3 weeks. What makes you think I want to put any portion of this hard-earned money toward a site that doesn't even care to give back?

Poison, despite your request, I read your topic. I appreciate that effort, but is it working? Has it ever worked? No. No one seems to care enough to put a little effort into it to match the HUGE effort I have put into it over the last more than 3 years!!! Yeah, 3 days ago was Infectionist.com's 3 year anniversary. 3 years I've poured my heart and soul into this site and community, trying to make something out of it, to succeed, to be persistant...there's only so much I can endure though. When it becomes undoubtably clear that no one cares about Infectionist...then it has to go.

You don't have much longer to prove me wrong, and I won't accept a short stint of activity then a drastic dropoff again like every other time...something has to give, something's gotta change, big time. We're doin something wrong and I don't have anymore control over it.

I will beging planning for Justin's replacement, since he's done a piss poor job. Even as my best friend I have no regret or problem saying that, and he knows why. I told him under no uncertain terms my conditions, he didn't meet them, he's not the right person to run this site.

I don't know when I'll be able to get back on, but I want to see some change when I do.

I'm sorry that I haven't been very active here. But I will be. For poisons sake, because he loves this site just as much as you. And I don't want it to die.

To be completely honest, there is nothing to this site besides boring discussion. I mean if this place had things like the HD recording service and actual machinimas made by non-lazy people then it would be fun to discuss. It's just words, pictures are interesting :c

Pivot is right. If we did have active machinima's I would enjoy coming here. Not that its torture now. But you need to change things up a bit. So your not coming back to the same thing everyday.

Well guess I shouldn't have taken my week and half trip to check out so many colleges my mind has been blown.

But I still don't see why we need to pay for the site. We can always use other things to put our videos on and we could just sign up for a free forum and then we wouldn't have to worry about needed activity since if there is a slow time, then it doesn't matter.

If you don't want to pay for this or you can't, then DON'T.

But if you want to keep it up and blame the reason it is a waste on activity and not the other things it gives such as online hosting and whatnot, then that is unfair to us and to yourself.

If you don't have the money to keep it up now, take it down.

Everyone will understand, we can go make a free forum, and make it look about the same, only thing that will be different is the web address but we could just get it to be an easy free one.

So do as you wish, I can't promise extreme activity but I will do what I can, as always.

im pretty sure we all have reasons for not being on.

my main reason is that our family business needs to be run and my dads computer shut down 2 weeks ago and he is using mine. i would get on it but he starts to work when i get off work. and to get it fixed is a couple hundred dollars. thats money we dont have.

and KJ's idea is perfect. i'd be fine with a .tk web address. im sure we all would. and there are places where you can get .com's for probably cheaper than what were paying. my dad gets his website for cheap. idk what he uses but it works for us.

$11/month is the cheapest I've been able to find for what Dreamhost gives. The domain is free. I'm not asking anyone to pay for this, if you don't want to pay for it then don't, I'm just asking for my long-time loyal members (you are one of those members, KJ) to help out. If you don't want to help out, then don't. I just don't want to see our site die because I had to go away for a little bit. HIH is active and Ducain gets on maybe once a month and posts once or twice, they're doing something right. I understand we need Machinima's or other catches to get people to come here, but there's only a certain amount I can work on things like that right now. I can't record anything because my cap card is still in Washington, I can't act in a machinima because I don't have internet except on my dad's laptop, I can't code for the same reason...I need my members.
