As most, or all of you, probably know, I'm no long active in this community as far as scripting goes. The reason for this is because, try as I might, I just could not find the time needed to help the community and balance my life at the same time. When I script, I spend a huge amout of time making sure everything runs smoothly (though there is almost always bugs as soon as I post it) and this requires alot of dedicated time infront of a computer and usually a few hours or a few days, depending on the script. As life went on, the amount of time I had to spare to help everyone out kept getting shorter and shorter until finally, I wasn't able to fulfill the large requests users were asking, so I was forced to stop.
This isn't an easy thing for me to say...probably an indication of why it took me so long to write this...but anyways, I wanted to say thank you to everyone and for everything you guys have done for me. From 2006, I remember when I was first starting out and I didn't know the most basic of things. I remember asking questions about what AddQ was and what variables were. I knew NOTHING about scripting. The more I made stupid little stuff for my clans, took stuff other people did, changed a few things around to customize it, etc., the more I learned and the more I figured out why things were done and how they were done. Eventually I was able to get good enough for this community to make me a mod of the scripting forum, but that wasn't without a long road of trial and error...many many errors lol
Everyone here was so patient and so helpful and I was able to get good enough to start helping others and making their lives easier and you guys have no idea how awesome my time here was. I was able to take almost everything I've learned here to my work and made a macro in Excel to make a process that used to take 2 hours down to a few seconds. They loved it, they went ape over how well and efficient it worked. They all asked how I knew how to do this stuff and I simple said, "I used to program for a warcraft bot called Stealthbot" I've got no shame in telling people where I learned how to do this stuff, I want people to know where I learned these things. Maybe it can encourage others to do the same or try new things. You never know the skills you gain might be useful later in life.
Without the knowledge about scripting everyone here has given me, I would've never been able to create that macro and I would've never been able to be that much more valuable to my company. Believe me when I say that I'm so thankful for what everyone has taught me. I so wish I could be able to be a bigger part in this community as I once was, but I simply can't, so again, thank you so much for putting up with my shit and allowing the once noobest programmer to become an actual mod for the scripting forum. I still can't believe I was able to grab that, but I never once took that for granted. I always tried to be fair and give everyone the respect they deserve, as well as keeping a strict air of maturity in my boards. I hope everyone can see why I modded the way I did and hope I left some sort of impression on you all. Good or bad lol
For those of you who actually read all this, you're awesome and I'm definitely going to be stopping by every so often, just to see what's up. This isn't me saying I'm stopping programming all together, it just won't be on this site anymore


Now for the thanks.
HDX, you're amazing dude, for all the smarts you have and the ambition you have, it's going to be the fuel to take you to the places you need to go. Never stop. You're going to get your break and when you do, you're going to seize that shit by the throat. Suffer the pain of discipline now and enjoy the rewards later!
PhiX, I can now say that I always tried to mod the way you did and come off as being very professional.
Pyro, you're just...awesome lol
SamuelDeuter, Slambliss, JesusCake, ..you're all hilarious. I hope you never lose your humour and outlook on life.
Jack, as being one of the first people to help me out here, I wanna say that you were a tough teacher, but I learned alot from your examples.
Awakening, we had our spats, but I fucking respect you for being the coder you are. I really did learn alot from you. I hope you and your family stays healthy and your daughters grow up to be the girls you want them to be.
FiftyToo, I don't know if you're still around, but, you helped me so much you don't even know. You gave me so many resources and I know there is no way in hell I can ever get to your level, you had so much patience with me and I'm so thankful for that.
There's other people on here that I know I missed...please don't take that as an insult or that you didn't mean as much to me as these guys did, these were...the ones I could remember lol
That's all for now, I'll talk to you all later!
