It is with great sadness that we are saying good-bye to one of our \"oldest\" members and administrators. Scott is leaving us to begin his journey towards becoming a medical doctor. While he may still rattle around the halls of KillaNet once in awhile to assist with a few things behind the scenes, he will no longer have the time available that he once did to help run this place.

I owe a huge debt of thanks and gratitude to the Buzzard, for he was the one who got our first forum online (way back when we were still Graphix Ground) and has patiently fixed everything I\'ve ever broken as far as the forums (and some of our websites) are concerned. Scott also coded our blogging software from scratch (glad I\'m not the one who has to learn how it all works...and you should be too LOL).

It\'s hard to believe so many years have passed so quickly. We\'ve shared many good times, some trying times, times when we all felt like packing it in but decided to stick with it, and of course many laughs and just a few rants.

I wish you the very best of luck at school, Scott. I know that you will be a valuable asset to the medical field. You will be greatly missed around here and the stewpot just won\'t be the same.

[size=1]....okay guys....he\'s all distracted now....go nab him so we can rechain him to a desk in the basement.... [/size] <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /brows.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(brows)\' />

I met Scott when he was a wee lass (yet slightly older than me) chatting in Techgear on MSN. Back in the day he was a rowdy Vu|ture and now he's all grown up! We had some great times in the time of the toga, thanks for all the memories buddy.

When Shane and I finally get the lobotomy we deserve, we'll know where to call. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /yahoo.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(yahoo)\' />

Good luck with you studies, I will stop when you start <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... iggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

Thanks for everything you have done for this community, you really did a fantastic job.

Good Luck <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... spoton.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y1)\' />

Thanks everyone. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> It\'s been a long haul over the last few years, I\'ve met many people in many different places, right back to a small room on MSN. Unfortunately not all friendships lasted, and some of the good people I met back there have moved on to different things, sadly it\'s now my turn.

I would never have guessed back then that I would ever become a web coder, responsible for about half a dozen sites, all I wanted was a little brown hammer beside my name (which I got...eventually <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />). After the closure of MSN and the start of TCN things changed beyond my imagination as I became a grumpy figure who would happily close your room if you annoyed me enough (although, hopefully some people will remember that I did give voice back....unlike a certain someone). TCN was a great experience, and I certain ways I still miss those days. All great things must come to an end unfortunately and from it\'s ashes spawned GG and later KG.

It was at this point when I realised that I wanted to know more about coding than the stuff mIRC used. Naturally I found PHP which ended up powering our forums and ever other site. Over the last 2ish years I\'ve helped get KN to a point where it\'s relatively stable network wise. Graphics has never been my speciality, so the development of the community falls into the hands of others. I hope to look back on KG in a few years and see a huge change with an excellent community, but that will only happen if everyone keeps it going. Please people, don\'t give up on what we\'ve got here.

Although I\'m writing this as a goodbye, I will still be around, somewhere. I still plan on helping out with forum upgrades and bugs, although my day-to-day activity will be virtually none. If anyone needs to contact me, PMs will reach me or you can hassle those who have my mobile number. I\'m not sure what will happen to KillaBlogs. It was never designed to be something which will overtake Blooger.com and I\'ll certainly try and fix any bugs that appear, however, unless anyone is keen on taking on the task of developing it (which is no easy task) it\'ll probably remain as-is for the time being.

If you\'ve made it to this point, well done and I\'m sorry for being so boring. A few final words before I shut up. Firstly, thanks to Trin and Wayne, who were my friends and colleagues on TCN and have kept contact after all this time. Thanks to NS, for sticking with us through the ups and downs. To Jer, who has helped me keep my sanity many times over. To the fungus, Shane, who has provided an ever lasting source of amusement from the day I met him (although that 4am text still needs to be revenged). To ner0, who has helped me with many [s]fun[/s] interesting tasks along the way. To Dren, who has become a excellent role model over the years, thanks for jumping in and attempting to learn something I know you aren\'t really looking forward too. If the going gets tough, don\'t hesitate to have a break.

Finally, I owe a great deal of thanks to Tami. You\'ve been a great friend and surrogate parent figure to us \"kids\" over the years. You\'ve trusted us with a great deal more than most \"ancient\" <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> people ever would. You\'ve stuck it through many challenges which I wouldn\'t have attempted to. You\'re a source of excellent inspiration for all who\'ve got to know you, may you keep it up and lead KN to something extraordinary.

That\'s it, I\'m sorry its so dry and Oscar-like. Good luck to all those who I have and haven\'t mentioned, you make KG what it is. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

Good luck Scott <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' /> hey... better you becoming a doctor than me, hey? <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Seriously though, i really do wish you good luck, and it is sad to \"see you go\" there have been plenty of good times, from way back when it was tg, through tcn, then gg, kg, kn. wow. so many acronyms.

Good Luck <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

Aww, scotty do, scotty dont. Im overly pleased for you and your new life that you are about to embark on. I hope you enjoy it all, first year health sci...my god, your gunna need some stamina <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> Though you\'ll do fine, dont forget about us too much. As for that text message, I was fully influenced by a few other memebers of this forum; as you can well guess, but you can take your revenge when your giving me an illegal bowel transplant mohohahaha! All the best mate, keep it touch. (I know i wrote this like your leaving earth, but ya know. Or are you actually going back to your home planet, Haggis Land VX3470 and using med school as a cover up?)
