Hello,
bb_42001, has kindly offered to take over Driver Madness.
But before I talk about this any further, I'll give you all a short overview 'Why am I considering this'.
I started Driver Madness at the age of 13, I was a kid interested in the driver series, and more broadly some other driving games. I much preferred and played the PC release, greatly dealing with Information Technology which later resulted in me using this technology to create a Driver Community on the internet.
As years pass-by I found myself boarding my interest in the series, writing mods, adding webpage and new information, working on download db's, other projects like the dpl-list which was later supposed to evolve into the DriverWiki and other stuff, which seems pretty unorganised hanging everywhere around the site at-least until most of it was deleted resulting due to moving hosts.
It has all somewhat seemed time consuming, I was willing to put the hours in to organise tones of stuff, most of which remains uncompleted. As I got older, my studies time consumption increased and particularly last year I found myself studying uncontrollably to achieve high results, which left almost no time for Driver Madness but I still managed to fit sometime in, even attempting to implement the DriverWiki into the structures of one of my courses.
During this time I managed to keep Driver Madness running fairly smoothly with updated news and spending lots of time to keep the stability of scripts running well.
As the year come to an end, my computer usage meter reached 120%, nearly everything I did used the infernal technology.
So come holidays, I took a break. Enjoyed it... Didn't touch a computer for weeks and then fell incredibly ill until the end of the holidays (which lasted just over 7 weeks) of me unable to do anything, including sitting up trying to use a computer. and my main concern in simple terms, it really fucked up my social calendar.
Just as I get better, school starts once again and I'm back in this process again.
Although much worse, my motivation is incredibly low. (I hate this computer, why am I using it!)
And missing out on social stuff due to my illness. *tries to help restore social activity during non-school hours around midnight around the streets (goes to school fucked up and tired)* Further reducing my dedication to this social-less un-fun industry and redirects my attention to other more important things... such as:
- Clubbing
- Sex
- Drugs (particularly weed and shrooms [ohh! my pc keyboard looks like I'm tapping ass with letters on it, the 8 hour trip better be worth the $30 street price-tag]
- Girls (cannot have sex without girls, knob-head)
Damn! Now I can see the world for what it really is.
I cannot go back to running Driver Madness, nor do anything that remotely using a computer. It'll destroy my brain even more than the weed.
So by the end of this year I'm thinking of lowering my Driver Madness weekly usage to under 20 mins.
Which is very different compared to the time I spent, when I was much younger.
But just in case this is another one of those phases, I still have control. After all I somewhat know that bb_42001 is from around this area.
The only other option I would consider is; selling driver madness.
But after all my hard work, letting it disappear into someone else’s hands I don't even know.
If only I could get the true value that these website evaluation website suggest.
I think Driver Madness was worth almost $1400 at one point of time, and now is $800.
But I know I'd be lucky to get $150, or even $100 with the current state it's in.
Damn! How depressing, all that work.
*massive fail!
*turns to dope!
Starting up a community like this and spending lots of time on it, is a burden to your future.
Don't do it! Even I thought I could commit to this my entire life when I was younger, how wrong was I.
*disappears, and attempts to have a better life. Without the internets. (Hopefully I can say this happily in the next 6 months). Lets see what happens with my bizarre, yet fucked up plea for god-knows what.
Oh! Yeah!
I was explaining why, I'm going to severely limit my time working on Driver Madness.
And why I choose bb.42001 instead of someone else with more experience with the scripts I'm using.
Well don’t worry about Driver Madness; the burden will be on my mind forever.
I’m sure at least the community will live on the internet for as long as I live.
I’ll just make sure there is someone to look after it!
I’m not sure if we are going to see a DriverWiki again or a phpbb3 upgrade for a while, actually it somewhat a simple upgrade that should take too long, well maybe it’ll take a while trying to figure the conversion because some of the custom stuff. Which I’m not willing to twist my mind around at the moment.
This is all coming from me because I’m in another busy period of my highly uninteresting studies, which I considered interesting last year until I had enough.
Now I feel like a bitching version of CL69, but I’m not angry at any of you guys or the community. Just taking boring un-exciting directions in life until now has somewhat fucked my head up.
Oh yeah; don’t take “knob-head†mentioned earlier seriously, I don’t mean it!
Anyways, I’m not going to tell you my entire life story, so whatever.
And just a last final note to Coyote (REVS), I began ignoring you with those requests of my recordings cause I was fed up with sharing this kind of stuff on the internet, get to know me in real life I’ll happily show you (let you listen). Sorry, to disappoint you with my mental problem (which I’m sure most of you agree really isn’t, sharing stuff online is dull, stupid and lifeless) that’s why I hate online social networking like Facebook, Myspace. Which I’m considering again, for those I know in real life of course.
So if you hear silence from me, you all know why.
But I’ll try to keep Driver Madness in good hands.

I said okay, but later even I forgot it, coz of my hard work at school.
