Would you guys like to see more?
The only reason I have posted these in the past is because I treated them as my blogs. But since I am no longer with B3D I am not comfortable with the idea of posting them anymore -- I'd be posting blogs that costs B3D.
Of course, the main attraction (if there were ever any to begin with) to you guys of such threads of mine really are the tidbits I feed you guys wrt my correspondences with a few developers (JC, Sweeney et al) -- I did that primarily to boost page views (=ad money) for B3D, not because I really care about you guys
. Having been disassociated with this site, I really feel no compulsion to share these (it had, and would if I continue to do so, take up my time) unless I simply "feel like it" (i.e. while associated with B3D, I (and solely I, never Dave) took such things as compulsory, as one of the ways to contribute to B3D while enjoying the simple priveleges of being associated with B3D).
I'd still like to share such wide-ranging thoughts of mine (via such RATP threads) here as long as they are welcomed. But having said that I do not want to share developer tidbits too much or too often, I am not sure if they would be just a waste of space and time. Last night, while laying in bed to sleep, I had a multitude of things I'd wanted to post in another RATP (don't worry, they do not contain any "dirty laundry" -- I'd quit B3D -- stuff, unlike the infamous last time), consisting mainly about my thoughts about the state of the industry (hw and media outlets, the latter of which was prompted by that rant by The Inq yesterday), why I think B3D is just too slow to expand (this should be a valid opinion, regardless of the fact that I'd left the site... what I hope to post may not be enjoyable to read for Dave but they are, after all, just opinions/suggestions, opinions I see no harm in letting the public know... definitely not "dirty laundry") as well as some other related odds and ends. As well as explain what a few have expressed as "odd posting behaviour" by me in the recent past.
So, yes, I won't be posting developer tidbits in any measure of quantity or quality but only, possibly, in tidbits whenever I feel like it (FYI, I still correspond with various devs after leaving B3D). Yes, I will still like to post stuff about my personal life (haven't you guys been doing so regularly in this particular forum? ).
As time progress, I hope to be forgotten in this industry (not that "Reverend" is "remembered" now anyway, by the industry). I am atm looking to start a new business -- limousine service -- myself and this particular Internet hobby (3D) of mine will suffer a great deal. But it doesn't mean it will disappear. One day after announcing, here, I was leaving B3D, I received 2 unsolicited offers to join 2 websites (one even congratulated me for "sticking to my guns" wrt to the reasons I explained for quitting B3D... whatever that means... I hate analyzing unimportant things). I do not wish to be associated with any hw websites right now, nor for the next month or so, due to my wish for peace and quiet as well as setting up my new business.
So... any objections (esp. from Dave, since I;d be wasting his space, time and money) to my continuing my RATPs?
[edit] Damn... this probably qualifies as a RATP thread itself! But, really and seriously, I'd like to know your thoughts about this.
