Message: <blockquote data-quote="XGC HYLANDER XC" data-source="post: 83259" data-attributes="member: 155">The primary 5 people that were involved with this social network site have never to my knowledge made up anything about XG or it's people. If someone is referring to my statement about XC leaders creating fake names and joining our site that is not a rumor it is the truth. Funny that they used Gunner and Corona as their names. When I asked the real people about it they were none to happy and came and registered themselves. Even with all the differences I have with those two people, I understood how stupid and disrespectful it is for leaders of any other group to imitate people for some oddball intentions. The only other thing I know of that has come from us, double cleared up. That is whether we left or were removed. I left. I sent a message to the council explaining my health and personal troubles. (I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, laid off from my job and am in the middle of a divorce). A business opportunity was presented to me and after many days of consideration I accepted. I needed an income and it gave me time to bridge the gap of getting my life back on track to finding if needed a full time job. If the business took off as planned, then all the better as I would continue on with that full time. The opportunity was to be an IT/webmaster for a social networking website with a gaming theme. Not a clan, not a gaming community. No rank structure, no honor code or anything of that nature. Call it a Facebook for Gamers , Facebook of gaming, Mygamer or whatever, it was to be nothing more than that. We did discuss clans and consider it. We even mad a forum and a usergroup on the site while deciding on it. My decision to leave was  because I knew I was going to be struggling mentally and emotionally with my personal stuff and was offered a monetary position with this new opportunity. I needed quiet time to and being able to just work on the computer and make money makes sense. To be around gamers and people you like, all the better.  There was a meeting in which I explained things to the council and I mentioned one thing which was not 100% accurate. Actually it is what I failed to mention as I wasn't in there to tattle on others involved. I stated one person was involved with running the site and covering all financial burdens and that isn't true. I left out that Bunny was involved with that as she was and still this day believed that she was going to be allowed to stay in XG which she loved being a part of while she was running a social site selling t-shirts. Not mentioning that doesn't make me a liar as I have been called. When I had this meeting I stated several times that it would be best for XG and everyone if I just left quietly and no one bad an issue about this. I have been around online gaming long enough to know all the BS that comes about when people leave. They go from super great leaders to worthless lying scum. It is pathetic. What makes it worse is so many people have an opinion or think they know about the situation when in fact they are as clueless as can be. In my meeting there was me and the council. No XC or anyone else. How is it then anyone outside that meeting can say without a shadow of a doubt they know what was said or the truth of the situation? They can't all they know is what someone else told them and they have to go from that. The meeting that I had resulted in me being told I did not have to leave and that everything was in fact clear with everyone involved. That is when the nice fake tags popped up. One XD was ready to go boot people for being on the site and another helped prevent that. Eventually that  caused a meeting to happen with Bunny and the council. She explained things slightly different than I had so I became a bad person and a liar. In fact, things were not different at all. What she said was true but a different way of saying it then me. Truthfully, it isn't anyone's business what she does with her money in her real life. Nor is it anyone's business who I work for. XG is and always has been a hobbie for all those involved in it.The end result of the meeting with Bunny was that her and I were removed. A message was sent out stating that HYLANDER AND BUNNY have moved on to other ventures. I was angry at that moment beings I had been told two days prior that I could not leave ever and that all was OK. I was not talked to about moving on. An assumption was made based on hearsay and the decision made. It is what it is. Since then, I  have not sat in game lobbies dwelling about anything. In discussion with business partners, I have mentioned my unhappiness about how things went down and the immaturity of people creating fake tags to join a website. That is pretty dumb I think. There is one person I have talked about a little as have the others involved in this venture. He knows who he is and he is still in XG. he was an admin on our website for a brief amount of time and involved in the pre-discussions of just what this business was going to be. When the time came he made a decision to dump a few of his close friends and stick it out with XG. I personally don't care one way or the other but my understanding is he is saying some not so cool things. Maybe that is just rumors or maybe it's not. In the end, as I have always said, the show must go on and that is what we did as a group. He is welcome to come chat with us at anytime and possibly welcome to have his spot back altogether. I doubt he wants that as a promotion seems looming in XG. I was told long ago people left because they were not having fun. I was told I was like hitler. I didn't understand either of those things because I always believe this is what you make it. However, I learned that perception is truly very powerful and the that is how others saw things. Anyone that has ever gamed with me knows one thing, I am about having fun in the games. I truly suck in most games. I play Halo and love stupid custom games. I am well known for such since way back in the H2 days. However, outside that I am known as being an angry old man that loves to ban people. Those that don't game simple think that is all I am about. They are very wrong. 007, you know very well what your doing by making posts in your forum. you know it will spawn a bickering match with others and you know it would at some point warrant a response from me. All I want is to have any further discussion about me leaving or being removed over with. You guys do what you do and I will do what I do. No more pointing fingers about us trying to make money off people and so on. That is not a secret. In the end, there is no anger from me at all. I have moved on in my mind and I wish others would do the same. As I said weeks ago, just let it all go.If XG members or CG members or any other person online can't do that, they will not be welcome. Would be great if things were handled on XG and other websites the same way. Thanks for your time.</blockquote>
