BGOAT.com is approaching it's 4th anniversary which means the clan itself is about 41/2 years old now. The site's anniversary is on the 6th of april. I dunno if there will be any updates for that or not but keep checking back. Now for the big news.
As everyone knows back in september of 06 I got to fly out to Neversoft and get some hands on w/ P8. It was a blast the best expeirience ever. Now the expeirence is about to get better. No I didn't get invited to play this next TH game. Even better. The people over at Neversoft have been working w/ me the past few weeks and basically want me to move out there to work for them. This of course is a huge step for me. it means moving my family away from our family and away from my kids grandparents and great grandparents. a huge decision for sure. They would get us set up w/ a nice temporary place and pay for the entire move. Now I know most of you are like do it do it. but theres more then just leaving behind family because Neversoft said they would pay for us to go back and visit twice a year. The other thing is that I would have to release owner ship of BGOAT.com and all it's sites and properties to someone else and basically give up BGOAT. This is because since I would be working for the company that makes the games that we find glitches for they don't want info being leaked about the games. I am only now able to post about it because of all the technicalalities and such and even now can't go into great detail as far as like my pay rate goes and such. So basically I am stuck in between a rock and a hard place. Should I leave my family for a promising career doing what I love all the way across the country. close the site and leave behind people I have come to call friends for the past 4 1/2 years. or should I just stay where I am doing what I do and pass up an oppertunity of a life time. Who would take over BGOAT.com and it's leadership if anyone. I just wanted to let you guys know whats going on and see what you guys think about the situation.

Err... All I was saying is it's totally dead here right now. I wasn't saying BGOAT will just magicially cease to exist, but if you leave there's a large probability it will crash and burn. If you want to do it, just do it. You created BGOAT, you have the right to let it fall.

Thats not how I feel. I created BGOAT yes but just like a parent creates a child the parent has no right to kill that child. BGOAT is muc more then just something I made it's evolved into a community of people. to let it die would be like letting a child die or killing it myself. I would be letting everyone down. But ya anyways I got all weekend to think about it and such.

No your right this place isn't as active as lets say an all around gaming forum. it's based on one series of games. therefore the amount of things to talk about is limited and once the current game gets old then it gets slow around here. happens every year. and we usually just find random things to chat about. thats why theres the nonsense bored and gaming boards. Out of all the TH forums right now that are popular. 3 that I can think of I think BGOAT's forums is the most active. it always picks up's and slows down. you just have to hang in there and go w/ the flow.

We only have about 30 minutes left until we figure out if this is real or not! Once I find out, then I'm gonna go set up some stuff to mess with my step mom in the morning. =]

Well After spending all day w/ the family yesterday and eating a nice boiled dinner and discussing things I decided not to go. Mainly because it's APRIL FOOLS!!!! Common guys you know I do an AF prank every year. most of you prolly knew it was an AF's joke but it was some what believable. Neversoft would have to offer me a hellof a lot of money to move across the country to work for them. I mean where I am at right now I get an apartment for free w/ everything included as part of my job. (besides phone and cable). and I get a work vehicle to drive and I still get paid a decent amount of money. I don't think neversoft could offer something better then that. Plus I couldn't leave my fam behind. Anyways APRIL FOOLS everyone and I hope you guys pull some good pranks on your friends/family/ who ever. Just be safe.
