Props from the founder
« on: January 15, 2013, 12:07:47 PM »
It's hard to believe this place is still going since I started :aMpT:, followed by the :aMpT: video database & forums, and then finally GTAStunting.... I guess that whole shindig started back when I was 13, so a good 9 or so years ago. I started a few more gaming discussion boards since I left for university, that have since been successful but life tends to get in the way of babysitting forums full of 9-14 year olds, haha. At least this place always had a much wider demographic.

Props to all the admins & mods for keeping this place going, and even linked in with the RockstarNexus network, which is pretty cool. I still remember the old days when all I did was get home from school, and spend virtually all day trying to make this place better and better (not to mention dealing with DOS attacks, meltdowns, and hosting worries)... it was all worth it for the community, some of whom I eventually met in person. The skills I learned from making videos, web designing, managing staff, and dealing with community members has since landed me a career in web design and mobile marketing - so all that time spent in front of the computer certainly didn't go to waste... well, I'm sure a good part of it did  ;D

I wish to extend a hand to all the staff here, and all the forum members who continue to push the artistic possibilities of video games to create incredible new kinds of multimedia and content. Imagination, creativity, and a dynamic sense of community always drove these forums to new heights, and I pray that this kind of prosperity continues for you all.

Sincerely - - Andrew (Andyroososoft)

More importantly, thank you for creating this place. I've spent most of my teenage years on this forum and it had a great part in shaping and forming the person I am today. This forum really has become part of my life.

First of all I'd like to thank you for creating this community and tutoring it. It is nice to see that you still care about this place and even nicer to see that the majority of the experiences you've had with it actually shaped your skills for your further work/calling, which basically proves (once again) that everything we work hard for pays off - sooner or later. Who knows whether there would have been a similar community to this one without your initiative - what I know, though, is that it has been bringing along many people who share the same interest(s) and has given us a possibility to socialize in a special manner.  Once again thank you, I wish you the best of luck with your career.

I just can't ever think about you anymore without having that picture of you and Matt flashing around in my head since the day Torque posted it lol :( Good to see you checking in again, must be fun to see that what you came up with almost 10 years ago is still up and running hehe. Running towards the end though, but still running. Good to hear from you, peace. : ]
