I had a big speech about how the community should pitch in more, but it disappeared. Goodbye Ivory, I will never forget.

For all my years on being on Cutstuff, and for also being apart of one of the best group of individuals that exist on this community...you will always have a special place in my heart, Ivory.
Thanks for being someone to look up to and actually learn from experience. I'll miss you more than enough, it was a fun ride while it lasted.

Good luck with new stuff, boss.
EDIT: and yeah, you were the only person I would straight up call my boss. T'was a matter of showing respect to who it was due.
EDIT2: So wait a minute, who's gonna be the next active administrator?!

Despite my departure from this community, this is a big moment and I feel like I have to say my words as well.
I always considered Ivory as the cornerstone of MM8BDM development, whether by leading expansions or setting the bar for map pack quality, this much growth could only be achieved by someone very dedicated to their cause.
Ivory, you've been an inspiration to many people, including me when I actually existed here.
Wherever you go, don't forget how important you were. I hope the best of outcomes for your future troubles and events.

You were still no saint, Ivory. However, MM8BDM probably wouldn't have come this far without your intervention. Good luck with your job and life.

Good riddance. I didn't even like you anyway b-baka...
In all seriousness, I'm not too surprised to hear this. I'm not trying to offend anybody; however, you had a good run of just over 5 years on the forums!
It's understandable that you're departing. Every legend has to end at some point. Though your leaving message isn't as long or stretched out as other people's, but I'm sure it will leave an impact.
Now, I didn't know you too well, I watched anime with you a couple of times and talked to you a bit. I know you mostly through Korby, but other than that it's a mystery.
Overall I wish you farewell and good luck on your future endeavors.

Wait, why did the "View unread posts" bring me to this page? It skipped me a few pages. Was this supposed to happen? What's going on?

Oh man. I haven't really known you that much besides being admin and making the Ivory map pack, but I can tell things are going to be different without you here. The only thing I can remember well from you was the fact that you let me change my name from watzup7856 to Watzup7856, and I thank you for that. (I hate looking at a lowercase username)
Watzup7856 for new admin
Anyways goodbye and I hope you do well in the future.

Welp. Not much to say here.
Go grab the world by the horns and show it who's boss.

Even though we interacted like once when you let me do a sorta dumb event, I wish you good luck in the future and all that great stuff!
Wow, I am really bad at this.

Whelp, I just read through the pages the forum decided to skip.
Farewell, Ivory.
I won't forget you.

Thank you for always being so supportive of me and for help move this game along as much as you could. It's gonna be harder without you, but we'll persevere.
Farewell, Ivory.

Well, well, well. It's come to this momentous day. I must say it's been a while that you've faced with a great deal of adversity (
All of it
more than I deserve credit for
Half?
Fine, fuck it
some from me, I'm sure, but I digress) and so I don't blame you for finally stepping down. MM8BDM really did outgrow its shoes, so much so that no multivitamin could cure its sudden growth spurt, regardless of the fact that it refused to eat them. But damn, you stuck through and tried to slap it into shape. Respect for that, if nothing else. You've banned a lot of people, and by virtue of Bikdark alone, I'd say you kept it above, or at least
logarithmically
decently close to, par for people who probably expected to be banned for chronic/acute shitposting. But all things considered, I'm really interested in how things go from here. I figure it'd be in poor taste to bring up the fact that I called the inevitable downfall of MM8BDM in the quasi-near future a few months ago, so instead I'll just put a few lines of what I think would be best for its future.
In this foreshadowing interval, too, all humor, forced or natural, vanished. Stubb no more strove to raise a smile; Starbuck no more strove to check one. Alike, joy and sorrow, hope and fear, seemed ground to finest dust, and powdered, for the time, in the clamped mortar of Ahab's iron soul. Like machines, they dumbly moved about the deck, ever conscious that the old man's despot eye was on them.
But did you deeply scan him in his more secret confidential hours when he thought no glance but one was on him; then you would have seen that even as Ahab's eyes so awed the crew's, the inscrutable Parsee's glance awed his; or somehow, at least, in some wild way, at times affected it. Such an added, gliding strangeness began to invest the thin Fedallah now; such ceaseless shudderings shook him; that the men looked dubious at him; half uncertain, as it seemed, whether indeed he were a mortal substance, or else a tremulous shadow cast upon the deck by some unseen being's body. And that shadow was always hovering there. For not by night, even, had Fedallah ever certainly been known to slumber, or go below. He would stand still for hours: but never sat or leaned; his wan but wondrous eves did plainly say- We two watchmen never rest.
His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself — that was the ultimate subtlety; consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.
The game starts off in 2041, twelve years prior to the main part of the game, in "post-cyberpocalyptic Neo New York". Charles Barkley performed a powerful dunk called a Chaos Dunk at a basketball game, inadvertently killing most of the people in attendance. As a result, basketball was outlawed and many basketball players were hunted down and killed.
In 2053, another Chaos Dunk is performed in Manhattan, killing millions. Barkley is blamed for the Chaos Dunk and is hunted by the B-Ball Removal Department, led by Michael Jordan. Barkley is rescued by another outlaw referred to as the Ultimate Hellbane. Hellbane leads Barkley to the tomb of LeBron James, revealing that Hellbane's real name is Balthios, the octoroon great grandson of James. The ghost of James tells the two to seek the Cyberdwarf, who is hidden in New York's sewers. While searching for the Cyberdwarf, they are joined by a cybernetic Vince Carter, who has lost his memory. Upon finding Cyberdwarf, the four of them rush to a nearby church, where Barkley's son Hoopz is hiding. In the church, Jordan kills Father Larry Bird and holds Hoopz hostage. Cyberdwarf, looking at Hoopz, comments that Hoopz may be “The One”; this comment restores Carter's memory. He was killed along with many other basketball stars, but was rebuilt by the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S. to kill Hoopz. Carter joins with Jordan, but the two are driven off by Barkley and his party.
Cyberdwarf theorizes that B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S. used a powerful basketball called the Ultimate B-Ball, the same B-Ball used by the Monstars in the Space Jam to steal the powers of basketball players, including Barkley himself, to perform the recent Chaos Dunk, so they travel to the old Spalding building to find a rumored extremely powerful basketball. There, they discover that such a ball had been created, dubbed the Hell B-Ball. This ball was so powerful that a janitor who mishandled it inadvertently performed a Chaos Dunk in the building years ago. With the Hell B-Ball in hand, the party seek out B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S.
They find the B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S. headquarters on the slave ship Necron 5. After freeing Carter from his programming and defeating Jordan in basketball combat, they find the leader of B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S., a shadowy version of Barkley created by the Ultimate B-Ball to destroy all life on Earth with a super-powerful Chaos Dunk, then repopulate the earth with Barkley clones. Shadow Barkley is defeated, but machinery on the ship is set to perform the Chaos Dunk without Shadow Barkley. Barkley stays behind while the rest of the party escapes from the Necron 5. Charles Barkley then performs another Chaos Dunk, destroying the ship and saving the earth. The game ends in a cliffhanger, where Hoopz and Cyberdwarf are aboard a escape pod in space without destination, and Balthios is left behind to fight the Monstars.
And ergo, in conclusion...
But really, no shame in jumping ship at this point.
