So yeah. It's over. I don't really know what to say. I really like all you guys on both "sides" of this issue, so I hope you guys know that I never ever tried to be an asshole about anything to anyone.
Nate, if you're reading this, I really really like you, kid. Even if you don't believe me... you really are a cool guy. I just think you need to lighten up some. Like I said in the staff lounge, you can't continue to do this... if you really want to do what you want just for the sake of doing what you want, you can't let other people piss you off so bad. If you truly love what you do and don't care what other people's opinions, don't let anyone stop you. If you care more about other peoples' opinions... I don't really know what to tell you. You can't have it both ways without alienating others and yourself, and generally making yourself look bad.
Tyler: You're welcome at my site any time, so feel free to keep making awesome animations for us. I really hope you do, actually.
Everyone else: I don't hate any of you. Except for maybe Gif Anamator. (lol.)
Stay cool,

P.S.: I didn't shut down the forums. Nate did. Just clarifying.
P.P.S.: This is Tyler, I was actually the one who shut 'em down at first. JUST CLARIFYING. HINCHY.
