Just wanted to clear a few things up since I dont like to get slammed for no reason and I will not spam your boards, I am just posting this and going back to my site.

1) Admin "Tony" was not the top poster, as the admin the day the forums started he upped his post count to 30,000, the numbers after 30,000 were his actual posts. Myself with 9204 was the most so Pete was correct in his post. And Travis and I never had a fight, we did 5 months ago when I left as staff, and that was it. The site closing had nothing to do with me and him, but with Pete and Tony calling it quits.

2) I never "stole" anyone, first off they are human beings and not just names so they can't be "stolen". I simply asked some of my friends if they wanted to come over and help me, they are my friends and I have ever right to ask them. R2N did not own me and I can do anything I wish, and if I wanted to start a website with me and my friends I have every single right to.

3) I never spammed anyone, I just email my buddies on my personal address book or via PM and let them know I was starting a new site if they wanted to come check it out. Never to leave R2N or anything like that.

4) I have no idea why Tony and Pete decided to have a fit, when the night before they both knew of my sight and my intentions. I was still not banned, still a mod and an active member at that time. Then when I woke up on Monday, all of this happened.

5) I feel that something happened between last night and yesterday and I looked like a good scapegoat to blame this on but you are all very intelligent people so think about, what really did I do? The answer is I did nothing but make a little site for me and my friends to post and talk toys about. Pete posted on the main page that I did this "behind the back". My question is what back is that? I was not part of the staff so why would I have to ask you if I can make a website? I am a grown man and can make decisions for myself and I don’t have to ask your permission to do something for me and my friends.

The true colors of some people that I thought of as friends really showed and I have never read such foul and insulting words in my lifetime as I was sent yesterday. It seems like R2N was headed down this road for the last 3 weeks and I didn’t want to see my friends be without a place to post and chat and when OTC went down in flash, I knew the same could be for R2N so I went live at the point so that we could all go somewhere else and post. No malice, no backstabbing, none of that.
