Jay Resop Resigns As Co-Webmaster - Page 2 - VGF

Gage LaMay · 10-03-2006, 04:42 PM

Well, it's good to hear Jay is still sticking around.

And for anyother member of the forum, I highely doubt anything will be lost, site content wise, due to Jay decision.

If that was ever the case, I'm sure there will be someone new to take up modding the section.

I tip my hat off to you, Jay Resop.

IOTH · 10-09-2006, 08:39 PM

Hello, my name is Alex and since the year 2000 I have been a constant visitor to SMBHQ. I've seen many things happen over the years, seen many faces leave (such as Kyle), and had many good times enjoying the content found on the site. However, my favorite section has always been NC. I checked every single day waiting for updates to new comics, and having myself a good laugh all-around.

Then, in November of the same year, my Grandmother was diagnosed with cancer...and she didn't have too long to live. I visited her with my mother and brother almost everyday in the hospital, but I was still pretty young and I guess you could say I wasn't able to truly understand that my grandmother would die and never come back. I was sad and didn't know what to do, so I'd go and use one of the computers I found in the hospital and read the comics on NC. They'd cheer me up and in a way they sort of comforted me even though I knew that my grandmother's death was imminent. Ever since I've used the comics found on NC as a sort of crutch. They were always there for me, even if they were late sometimes. They still always kept me happy.

And now, it's 2006, I'm 16 years old, and I'm still enjoying the site. But, lately, It's kinda felt like the updates to the site have been even more sporadic than usual. Plus, there's only been 3 comic updates so far this year. So, I decided to do something that for some reason I've never even thought of before, and I've created a forum account. And, in a strange twist of irony, the first topic I've decided to visit is the one stating that Jay is thinking of quitting NC. Then, the horror finally struck me, what if Jay never updates NC again...

Just the thought nearly made me sick...and so here I am, posting, stating how I feel about this. I've thought about it very hard and decided that since I have no actual control over what Jay does with the site, that I've learned to accept the inevitable. Jay, if you decide to quit making comix on NC, that's ok with me. I'll still have the memories of coming home from school everyday and checking the website to see if there was a new comic posted. Or staying home on a Saturday night, while my friends go out and party, and reading Mushroom Wars over again for the 1000th time. The whole experience has been amazing, and I just wish it wouldn't have gone by so fast.

Well, that's about all I have to say. Chances are I'll probably never make another forum post again, but I really just want to say...thanks for all you've done Jay. You, along with everyone at SMBHQ, have truly affected my life over these past 6 years. You're probably thinking I'm making too big of a deal over a website, but to me it's not just a website. SMBHQ and NC; they're my favorite websites on the internet and they always will be. Thank you for everything.

Alex

That's so sad.... I highly agree with you, Alex, and I will just say that I hope NC never dies. I don't want it to die, and if it does, well, well..... it'll just make me sad. The greatest sprite comix site is about to die........

vanherrmann · 01-13-2007, 03:26 AM

Smarmy Vent · 01-13-2007, 03:31 AM

Smarmy Vent · 01-13-2007, 06:04 AM

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so" oh oh oh
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Do do do do do
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

(For some reason, I thought of this song when reading this)

Yes but:

1) The topic was only 2 months old. Hardly dead.
2) The topic was on the first page. Hardly much of a bump.
3) SMBHQ is pretty inactive as it is, we shouldn't be discouraging posts.
4) It is not ALWAYS wrong to bump topics. In this case, I don't see how he had any other choice if he wanted to add something to the topic.
5) Even if it was an inappropriate topic to bump, it's not your job to be the moderator.

In conclusion, you weren't helping, since you're wrong.

Smarmy Vent · 01-13-2007, 01:05 PM

Gage LaMay · 01-13-2007, 03:51 PM

Well it's always good to have a little argument or disagreement sometimes, it keeps a topic going.
