View Full Version : Good Bye EVOAtlanta. Here I end my quest for growing the Southern EvolutionCommunity.
Check yo' calendars, April Fools :D
Sorry guys, but I couldnt resist :)
------
I regret to inform everyone that as of last week I have taken a job overseas with ING (http://www.ing.an/). As some of you already know, I took a trip out of the country to Curacao. While it may have appeared that I was leaving for vacation, this is not entirely true. I have been hired by ING's marketing divison for a position (and salary) that I simply cannot turn down. I will withdraw from GT at the end of this semester and finish my last semester at the International College of Commerce in the Netherlands (http://www.iccglobal.org/pages_nl/index_nl.html) in the fall.
What does this mean to the community? Unfortunately, the members and moderators I have spoken to are unable to continue running the site. This includes performing daily maintenance and day to day business duties. Additionally, the support from our vendors and members is no longer enough to financially support the community. I have paid for one additional month of service. At the end of this month I have instructed the host to pull the plug on our server and call it a day.
It has truly been a pleasure working with everyone. There is much to reflect upon but I am not one for long posts. Few things have pleased me as much as bearing witness to the growth of this community. We have all had a chance to hang out, talk shop and turn wrenches. We've all had our fair share to drink too :) Please do not let this announcement deter you. I want to see the Southern Subaru community continue from where I have left it off. I have already spoken with Tim of evolutionm and we will be receiving a Southern section on their forum to help make this transition a bit easier.
I wish you all the best of luck in the future and hope to see some of you pay me a visit down in the islands :)
Drink up and smoke 'em while you got 'em.
Cheers,
ak

Wtf?! Awww man! I hope we can keep the site together somehow. I totally understand your disposition, Alex. It's hard to turn down job security. I wish you the best of luck with all future endeavors.

People People! Let's just all wish Alex the best on helping us get together here.
Ryan's right though, we must verify what it takes to make a smooth transition asap.

Oh sure, I find a new place to frequest and you go and pull the plug on it. What ever happened to never leaving a fallen comrade? One of the reasons why I brought my car down here from Tennessee as opposed to driving a rental, that Uncle Sam pays for, was this website. Looks like it is back to evolutionm.

guys calm down i will be taking over the site. alex already said he'd give it to me.

Don't worry Dan. We'll get things figured out.
TripperFx3
04-01-2008, 07:29 PM
Like Ryan said this won't be the end of the site, so everyone needs to calm down and don't go anywhere. We'll get everything figured out and I'll help out as much as I can.
Evolvedgti
04-01-2008, 07:40 PM
I will help anyway I can as well. On Evoms I have 87 posts in 2 & 1/2 years, because alot of people on there are di*ks. This site has the potential of greatness, plus we are all fairly close.

Trust me I'm calm. For a person that controls every piece of equipment and every single person into and out of Afghanistan it takes a lot to rattle my cage.

Everyone calm down, I'm sure a few of us is up to the challenge. Now, if that doesn't happen then we can team up so everyone can help out anyway they can. :)

While up here I have had a reno, eclipse, and now a focus. Two good things came out of it though. I don't have to pay for the rentals, and my wife said and I quote " I never really noticed how good the evo is, yeah its worth all the money!" Score for me!:D:D:D:D

Evolvedgti

seriously my wife is really cool about mods. They just do not come so quickly because only I work. So I have her, our daughter plus all the bills. In due time though!

Thats cool. My GF is having somewhat of a hard time with me spending all this money, but I think shes wanting something shiny herself, which she'll get soon, but I just hope she can be patient lol. She just can't complain anymore when she gets her RSX and wants to do stuff to it lol.

lol Tripp. What kinda timeframe you looking at as far as she is concerned?

lol Tripp. What kinda timeframe you looking at as far as she is concerned?
As soon as we find an 02-04 RSX type S in blue. Shes getting to the point where she'll settle for Silver as they are easier to come by. Also gas here will hit 4 dollars a gallon before it'll hit it there, so shes wanting to get something with better gas mileage ASAP.
