    Hey everyone, i would just like to say...

    I would like to give an heartfelt apology for my outbursts on the forum over the last week. I acted like a ****** towards Shifty and came across as immature to the finer members of the community and i feel that this does not reflect who i am as a person here on the forum and IRL. Ive been here since the beginning of HD and the migration to the new forum as well as the drop of Fusion negatively affected my thoughts of Redlynx. While i may feel that i could argue my valid reasons for holding a ill-will feeling, there was still no excuse for the way i acted hostilely towards the mods/devs. I suppose i would say, i was subconsciously trying to get myself banned so i would not have a reason to keep coming here after all these years but when i thought about it, its just not worth leaving a bad mark here. I consider EVERYONE on here a good friend of mine, some of us had our ups and downs but we got through it and we're still here so that, personally, says alot. If anyone, and i mean ANYONE, has something they want to take up with me, please do so- no questions asked. I genuinely care what people think of my presence here, and i hope that i come across as meaningful with my contributions.

    Also, i cant forget what BlueBadger and Redlynx did for me when i had my first child, they sent me a few gifts for my newborn daughter. They didn't have to, but they did. That's not just something that i can put under my issues with Trials/Forums because it goes above and beyond gaming. The way i acted last week was not someone who deserved something like that, even though it was not about me. So thank you again for that.

    I sincerely apologize again, to everyone- devs, mods, the community and the lurkers altogether. I hope its not too much to ask for redemption and forget that it ever happened.

    PS- i think its only fair to ask that Purple Oozi, Clutch, iStride and some others who were banned to be given a second chance- something that Shifty has given me in my last post previous to this. Those guys add a legitimate (and sometimes colorful) voices to the community and it would encourage more members to speak up about any issues they may have, as long as it is constructive criticism, something that i hope Redlynx/Ubisoft will take a little more seriously in the future as well as speak up on behalf of it more often. If this decision is not favored, then i will have to respect that. Like i said, i felt it was only fair to ask for that consideration.

    Thanks for reading.

    Thanks for writing,
    It takes a certain true type of character to post such thoughts,
    I would hope that RL would take full heed of everything you wrote mate and realize (which I'm sure they do) that it's the love and passion towards Trials and this Community that some display frustrations, perhaps in the wrong way sometimes, and show some leniency to those you mentioned also.
    Forgive and forget (from both sides) is a creed I live by as we all make mistakes,
    Being right or wrong is one thing and I understand sometimes it is as simple as rules are rules when things are displayed publicly,
    But I for one would like to see a fresh start for this new year and hope to see this family move forward.
    This may or may not be too late for some, but it would be nice to see,
    This community deserves every chance it can get in my eyes and I think your post is a great place to start.

    Respect indeed.

    Good post, Ret. Did seem a little out of character, but I know that's not your natural make up. A few of us had our moments back there, dude.

    Clean slate for everyone, free our Trials brothers and see how things go?
