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 

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.

Thanks a bunch guys - it's pretty easy to lose track of these old videos after reformatting so many times. Looking back, some of it was pretty shabby work, but I remember having an awesome time making them - and sharing everything with the GTA community. In what other kinds of groups do you get to f*ck around with video games, while learning all types of media tools & making good (real-life) friends in the process?

Good times guys, good times.

To the old-timers here,

Anybody have the old videos that I made around the time I started these forums? The only one I can find on YouTube is Vice From Hell (not bad for 7 years ago I guess, haha). If anybody has any of the following, would they mind please uploading them somewhere? I totally want to impress the girls with these I keeeeeed

- Faggio
- How To Stunt
- SIN Act 1 & 2 (Too bad I never got around to 3, I seem to remember my computer crashed or something)
- I don't remember how many more I made.... probably not many

Anyway, thanks dudes!

Hey guys, whats up!!

Yeh, its definately been a while since ive been around. Months and months, and its definately cool checking in and seeing everyone still doin up the stunting thing and keeping active around the boards.

I've started working on my professional website for my music career, and I've bought my domain name (andrewappleby.com) so all that's left is finding a host. I've been out of the whack for hosting for a long time, so most of the servers ive owned or been a part of have closed down on my long ago.

If anybody here has any good contacts/ideas, be sure to let me know! Especially Aries/Serenity/Matt, you rat bastard you're not on msn

Cheers guys

Hey guys, whats up.

I love still droppin by here occasionally to see whats up. Everything looks fantastic as usual, and the number of posts and members has really sky-rocketed. Kudos to the staff there  

Anywhoo, after leaving my position as Head Admin I was able to really immerse myself more in my music, and am now gigging around town and stuff, playing in about 7 different groups including bands and concert orchestras on drums and percussion.

I started a clothing company called Unbroken Clothing with my friend Josh (an original :aMpT: member for the hardcore veterans here), basically out of our love of for skate/surf/urban clothing, basically with a dream to produce even better quality clothing than all the big boys' like Billabong, Quicksilver, DC, Element, etc. while selling it at more UNDERSTANDABLE prices.

We just finished the new website (though it still has obvious work to be done to it) for the public about a week ago, and it's going strong, check it out at:

http://www.UnbrokenClothing.com/

We also just hooked up a MySpace account as well which is worth checking out: http://www.MySpace.com/UnbrokenClothing

VERY soon we are going to start shipping shirts around Canada & abroad (shipping free for larger orders) which will really help us out considering we are still a very small company.

Any support you're willing to lend to us, we'd really appreciate it. Drop us a line at [email protected]

Have a good one guys, keep the stuntin' alive!
