Look, I understand people have (justifiable) reasons to walk away from CT. Per "why Ten let it all go up in smoke" I think I can share some things. First, his dad passed away last week. Second, he went through a horrible divorce in the past 18 months where his ex stole his children without a trail. He's recovered, but not after losing chunks of life both physically and financially to get them back. Third, I don't think CT is a blip on his radar anymore and to me I would place his blame on not shifting responsibility or ownership of CT to another group or person who's willing to step it up. Ten is actually a good guy. I played HU with him in a hotel till 6am talking about life and I think his heart is genuine. He probably felt that CT would get his attention eventually, but that available time wasn't hitting. More than others, I haven't been following CT much in the past year except for the same old 2-3 threads I enjoy, so there could be more I don't understand and I'm willing to give into that but, lets just grow this site and RIP chiptalk.
In the 90's, the daily forum grind for me was rec.arcade.collecting from google groups... aka Deja groups... aka (something before that). In the 2000's everyone leaped over to
KLOV's discussion forums. Some made the leap, some did not. Over several years the old discussion board eventually (sadly) died but it was all due to attention and features of the new site. If you let something die, it tends to die. I do wish Ten happiness in life but also respect the migration in process. As far as my $200 lifetime membership I paid.... meh.
