In Response To: Bummer. (SketchFactor)

Sorry if I came down hard on you guys, and as I said in another post I have nothing but respect for Bungie for your handling this in as honorable a way as you can manage given the realities of the situation. I know there's nothing you can do, this is just the way it is. But it still upsets me greatly as I've been very active in the community since the days when Pathways Into Darkness was Bungie's big new game... back when "the community" largely consisted of the alt.games.marathon denizens. 12 years is a long time, and throughout that time projects both like Halogen and unlike Halogen have largely been approved of and even encouraged, so it bothered me to a huge degree personally when we got closed down; an end of an era so to speak. Things have changed and everyone has to adjust to the new reality; but understanding that fact doesn't always make it go happily.

That said, thanks for your handling of this, Sketch. It could've gone better in some ways, but in most ways it could've gone a heck of a lot worse, and that things went as smoothly as they did is a testament to your honorable handling of it and having everyone's best interests at heart.

I guess in the end, what really burns my ass is... do you know how much it hurts the throat to get that Joe Staten grunt sound down? My God. :P
