    Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First off, congrats on the marriage!

    I remember when we started playing the BF3 Co-Op before you started anything NNG related. How we would grind away on those missions to unlock the guns, haha that shit was fun! and then the early days when it was just me and you admining the infant server. I remember it would get CRAZY trying to manage people complaining with just two of us while asshats or trolls & hackers would start coming in left and right, haha! The viper runs I will always remember. We would rape with that sucker!

    I know I dropped off the radar a few times and would randomly come back, thats just how it goes sometimes :( So I know how it is for you right now. When the going gets going, you gotta go. lol

    Damn I've been real sporadic with my attendance lately on the server and website but I did not catch this until now. Really wish I was around in the last few months more now :(

    As for the server costs, I am jobless right now, and about to start the fall semester for school on August 22nd. I'm completely broke. I would truly LOVE to be able to pick up some of the services.

    First order of business....congrats on the marriage! As an experienced married man myself, I would like to offer a few tips that I have learned over the years...

    When she asks, "Do I look fat?" Your one and only response should be "No baby, you don't look fat, you just look pregnant". And I just add to this note a bit and say I'm not sure how this works when they are not really pregnant.

    Second, despite what you might think, your wife doesn't want you to agree with everything she says or wants. If that were the case, women would just marry themselves, Am I right? So no matter how much you love to watch "Cupcake Wars" or how much you love spending your weekend at her crazy, manless, BFF's house talking about how all men are losers or reassuring both of them that any man who wouldn't want to be with the BFF is "out of his mind crazy", You just have to tell her NO. No to everything she suggests, no to every idea she has, and make sure you point out how stupid her decorating ideas are as well. She might cry at first, but in the end she will realize how much she needs you to tell her how to live her life.

    Third, make sure you stare at other hot women when you are out in public. Sometimes I like to even comment about how hot they are to my wife. This only makes her see how lucky she is that you would be with her.

    There are more tips I could give you, but you know the saying "Teach a man to fish.." I think there is more to that quote but you can just google it I bet.

    But on the real....its a bummer that you won't be around, at least as much. I enjoyed playing with you (giggity) and being a smart ass on the server. I think most of the time I have a .33 K/D cause I goof on the server so much, but I have a blast.

    I certainly appreciate all the work it took to run NNG. I love PC gaming, but I could never imagine myself having the drive to make all of it happen like you did. Not to mention the financial burden of it all. While you say you felt uncomfortable asking for donations, to be honest, I always felt a little uncomfortable about putting the NNG tag on and not be a contributer (sp?). I felt like I was using NNG. And not in a good dirty way...

    Anywho, I wish you the best Ghost, it has made my day several times to have the honor of playing beside you and to be allowed to hang around the server.

    And to anyone who does step up and take on some of the real deal responsibility of NNG, it is much appreciated as well. I have yet to find a server on BF3 that meets my needs as this one does.

    OH, and one more tip about marriage....no matter what they say about anal or another woman in bed...they really mean yes.

    lol great post man. I remember when we used to own in the Viper, during one particular map you were piloting and I was gunning. We landed to repair, you stayed in the pilot seat and I hopped out and started torching the chopper. I hit E one too many times so I got in and then right back out. You took off and flew the fuck off. The map was going crazy and there was tons of shit happening. I watched from the ground as you flew around in circles, all over the map, to various points, then were like "dude why aren't you shooting anything". lol!!! /rofl

    Needless to say that was very early on in BF3. Fucking good times. :D

    And yeah man, this is how it goes. Rather than just shut everything down I wanted to give NNG an opportunity to go the route of an employee takeover if you know what I mean. I'll be around once in a while. Not as often as I'd like to be but hey, that's life now.

    Thanks for all the times you seeded the server with me when you could've been off playing in some other server, getting points. It helped make NNG what it is today.

    lol. so much good marital advice in here. it would be a nice coffee table book. I especially like the bit about saying no to everything. lol!

    Dude I fucking laughed out loud. Hahaha!!

    Thanks for the kind words. NNG was fun but kind of like a second job. I think I did a good job of keeping things organized. :) I look forward to seeing where everyone else will take it from here.

    ANd yeah, my KDR and SPM are attrocious because of the amount of time I spent on the server seeding, doing nothing, crashing jets into infantry head on and trying to do heli backflip mctwist 360's. All good times. Sorry I have to hop out of the scene so shortly after you joined up. I'm sure we'll game again soon. I'll just be a lowly infantry grunt by that point though :D

    Honestly I'm not too happy to see that you're leaving but that happens, people go but eventually come back.I wish you weren't but who can really change that? As for the backseat part, no biggie, we can adapt without you. It will be just like anything else except the primary owner will be different or we will have multipule owners. Admin work will just have to be upped a bit, easily done onceI get my actual laptop back. I hope to see you again and maybe I'll have a desktop by then!

    P.S. Your lambo wedding gift is on it's wayunless it got lost in transit. Can never trust UPS... :p Congrats dude!

    Thanks Uno. A baby Ghost is inevitable. Just not for a while lol.

    No Lambo yet Kowl. Got a tracking number? :p

    Just a quick update. I'm going to continue to host the site. Right now it would be too difficult to hand off especially with the complexity of how Xenforo works. I'm going to reinstate the donation module if anyone feels compelled to trow a couple bux over the wall at me.

    Orestes now has financial and administrative ownership of the server. So he's the guy to go to for issues on that end. He should distribute the clanpay url so you guys can also help him carry the weight of server costs.

    ttyall later!

    As Ghost said Orestes has financial and administrative ownership of the server, however to keep the stress level down on that dude if you have any concerns or things NNG related you need help with please come to me about them. Just hit me with a PM or make a post about it in the forums. I will try to keep up with everything and continue to recruit new players and make NNG awesome for everyone.
