Quote:Many years of working on this site (over 3 years +) and watching it become a hotspot and quite a success for what it was intended for in the first place. Mad-Cows.com was never intended to be a "commercial" success despite what many might think it was or should have been intended.
In the past couple of months I have added lots of new features, and it's been great. I hope everyone enjoyed them. I was making a long term decision during the process and had fun adding the things.
However...
Mad-Cows.com really needs a LOT of attention to make it a greater success. While it has this potential to add thousands of new members and increase it's already heavy (at times) traffic it would require a lot of work.
I can't devote such time to it.
Don't get me wrong. I have enjoyed the fun and times here at the MC. Many of you are great people, and a lot of you are total assholes and fuckheads. Even more that aren't here anymore are just plain shitheads. I would love to devote time to the Great People, Fuckheads, and ShitHeads and get more of such people here.
I can't.
My professional life is a totally different and unrelated area. Even my hobbies don't coincide with this site. Add to that my health, and my family, and there just isn't enough time in the day to REALLY do justice for the MC.
I could just ignore the MC (move it back to shared settings and lower the monthly cost) and let it die a slow lingering death. That is what many "others" want to happen. It won't.
On October 1st, 2006 (thereabouts) I will shut down Mad-Cows.com completely. A few days after that I am going to completely wipe the databases, personal data, and all posts/threads. It will be "gone" forever.
Unless someone buys the MC (which I am not counting on or care they do), and even then I will still wipe it clean except for accounts (unless the membership requests otherwise) and then allow others to opt out, and make sure the new owner does nothing bad with the e-mail addresses or any personal information(not like it matters). Blah Blah Blah.
So, it's The End. The Saga is over. The drama, the bullshit, the lies, the truths, the deceptions, and the fuckwads.
I would suggest many of you trade e-mails, or perhaps sign up at GT (if not already) so that you can still stay in contact if you wish to do so.
For those of you that have supported me, and this site. A very heartfelt... Thank you. Definitely some great people here and I have enjoyed conversing with you.
For those that have sought to destroy this site and myself... fuck you and the jackass you rode in on. You motherfuckers can kiss my ass even before I wipe.
As for now folks, you can comment and say what you want and such. I am open for discussion, but I am done.
So...
Goodbye.
Farewell.
... and Amen.

I listed on BV maybe 2 years ago. I DID sell 3 little things. Whooptidoo. :
I absolutely never could figure out why their forums were so romper-room-ish. I had never heard or seen such behavior from supposed adults. It was SO childish that it wasn't even entertaining! And the management spoke to them as though they were in kindergarten. Their same emails that came in about every 2 months were the same way. "We miss you".
*barf*
