Well, it's happened. I have to log of the net for a bit.
I'm dropping the internet (and it's bill) at the end of the month. Partially for financial reasons, but also to combat the disconnect the Wife and I are feeling.
I will still be working on projects for SWBF, and any releases, notes, progress I make will continue to be posted here, exclusivly. All that will change is the frequency of my visits as the nearest wifi is a cumbersome hike from my home.
This may only last a couple of months, or it may just stay this way. Difficult to tell. Always in motion is the future.
If you have any request for permission to edit/use/hack/ect any of the work I have posted here, I give you blanket permission to do so, as long as it stays within the LA license and respects community standards for attribution of credits. (That's mainly out of respect for the folks who's work mine is based on.)
If you have questions about msh files, go ahead and either post them in one of my threads or email/message me. I'm still around, but it may be a few weeks before I can respond.
I like you guys and this site. Buckler has gone out of his way to make sure we have this common ground to meet on for years to come. I hope to continue working with and around you all as those years pass.

You're a cool guy tirpider :P We all respect your decision, in the long run your wife and other things in life deserve more attention. Thanks for all the mods you have produced and will leave here for us to enjoy. May the force be with you good fellow :D
Thanks for all of your wonderful contributions to this community, I'm sure everyone will miss you. :(
It was a pleasure getting to know you. Good luck out there! Hope to see you visit! :cheers:
Although I didn't get to know ya well, may the force be with you in your future endeavors, Tirpider!
Good luck were your journey leads you. It is typically a bad idea to let ones hobbies and the internet come between a married couple.
(Plus Unit was/is threatening to ban people without festive names.)
Good luck in life :)
I hope the disconnect helps out your family life. The internet is very consuming and can come between the things that really matter. If you do decide to come back, the community will be ready to have you here. Thanks for the modding contributions, and I hope to see you again :cheers:
I jolly well hope to see you later Mr. Tirp!
I think I'll just about manage not throwing random requests at you for a while :panic:
Farewell!
Take care, T.
When you can get back on, we will be here!
Best of luck with everything, you've given alot to this community, hope to see you around still . :)
I hope you have a good rest of your life Tirpider! You will remeber you. :cheers:
Oh, real life, is realy important thing. Try do not miss it, and good luck with it! :)
Good luck out in the real world!
GL and hope to see u again ;)
I hope you get things sorted out. Good Luck!
New year.. this was my deadline.
good news ... sorta.
We are going with a different billing solution (one our provider didn't offer till this month,) so I get to keep the convienience of being online.
But there is a dark side.
I made all sorts of preperations for migrating into an offline work mode. My dev environment is completely dissassembled for a pending re-organization. (Adding localized SVN, moving from AutoIT to VB.NET for development, rebuilding my back-up machine, and digging deeper into general modeling(not just kitbashing).)
In a nutshell, TheShop (that's what I call all this) is currently closed. And any contributions I make will hapen only after I can finish the re-structuring.
Even after that, I need to learn to accomodate the domestic side of life. (Wives need to be taken for walks. Pets need to be petted. The beauty of nature needs to be explored.)
I'll probably stick to my established projects only (OTC and such) since it's easier to schedule time to work on them than it is for unknown mystery tours.
So I am still disconnected, just not literally.
It would actually be more acurate to say that this season has brought a time of re-connecting into my life.
I really appreciate your sentiments. Ya'll are great and I'm glad to be here with you.
I'm sorry for the pre-emptive "oh-noes, I'm leaving" post. I really don't like the unnecessary drama.
Well we're all missing you terribly.
I would highly recommend exploration of the beauty of nature, it's pretty nice outside sometimes.
It's nice to know you're still alive.
