Just over 20 years ago I stumbled across the UMD and was delighted to find that there were many others who, like me, enjoyed seeing wet and messy content in the same "different" way I did. I don't think I can properly express how much this community has helped me over these last 2 decades and change.
Over the last few months, though, with much careful consideration, and not a little soul searching, I've come to a decision that it's time for me to leave. I'm not planning to delete my profile. I may lurk now and then, but I no longer plan to be active on here (I've been rather passive recently anyway.)
I do have a store on here, which I plan to close at the end of April. I think I've set everything in it to pay-what-you-will (which some have already taken advantage of), and will leave it that way until it closes. We've seen many stores, including some by far more prominent members of this community, close and vanish without a trace, without warning. I don't want to do that. I'm pretty sure anyone who wanted to buy my content has by now, but on the off chance someone was holding off... you have a month.
I want to thank Messmaster, and everyone else working behind the scenes, and all of the fun & crazy people I've met here over the years. (And I mean that in the best way possible.)
Glad you had a fun time here, and on behalf of everyone, appreciate the heads-up on the store closing down. All the best with whatever you do in the future!
Sorry to see you go, man. That said.... Absolutely classy way to go out. No bitterness, no anger, no burning the place down, no sudden exit, no marrying a millionaire and just deleting all your content overnight... (Ahem.)
I remember that you had a couple of really ambitious projects in the works, years ago. I feel like they didn't quite pan out, but just good on you for making the effort. We need more effort now!!
Anyway, your contributions did not go unnoticed. Enjoy the lurking life!

All my best on wherever life takes you. It's always sad to see someone go, but this is a good way to do it. We'll be here if you ever want to come back and chill
The kind of cruel thing about those more ambitious projects is that I could probably have actually pulled them off if I'd had today's tech to work with back then (the camera in your average phone nowadays can shoot 120fps at cinema quality). I still have designs on filmmaking, and there will almost certainly be some good wam moments in some of the stuff I have planned, it just won't be the main focus.
Anyway, I'll be shutting down the store probably Monday a week, so this is kind of last call.
