Guest The Superstar Report post Posted April 16, 2003 No, this isn't a spur of the moment decision. It's a culmination of things from November, as far as I can remember. The OAOAST is supposed to be a fun, laid back alternative to more serious things like the SWF. I always said, the day I stopped having fun here is the day I quit. Well, this isn't THE day, as I haven't been happy to be here since AngleMania. First, I saw almost all of my friends here go. Caboose, CWM, and Agnes, gone. Why? Well, I'm not going to get into that. Zack has been with me through all of this and he really didn't want me to quit, and I apologize. I just see no other alternative. The downfall began just before Anglemania, when bumping a single thread as a prank turned into Sandman quitting. Who got blamed by Mr. Popick? I did. Even though Sandman said it wasn't just me, Popick blamed me for Sandman quitting. Then there's the "brand rivalry." Who gets blamed for starting it by SP and Popick? Me. Okay then. Final straw. HeldDOWN shows potential, no doubt. And I'm very sorry for, in some ways, dropping the ball for Spike and Sault as our thing was taking off. And I'm sorry for the person I was going to feud with. But I don't want to do something where I'm not having fun. Of course, it's not JUST that. I still haven't forgotten the Angle Awards, although you wanted Agnes and me to. Sure, it's easy for you to say, but when you're continuously mocked and made fun of over the course of the show (and shows before/after), it gets to you. And I also haven't forgotten one Mr. Popick forgetting a major storyline or two along the way. Just don't let the fed die over stuff like this. I'm gone, and that's over with. But people like Zsasz and Spiderpoet show immense passion to this, and that's great...don't stop. Keep this thing going and see what happens. Thanks go out to everyone, but especially: Zack, Evenflow, Anglesault, the HeldDOWN crew, Tony, and guys like Caboose, Some Guy, CWM, and AP for starting everything. And so I ride off into the sunset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted April 16, 2003 This wasn't the first thing I wanted to read when I got to work. Supes, you're one of my best friends from the board, period. So much that we've got our "adopted little brother" gag working 24/7. You're a good kid and you've put a hell of a lot of effort into everything you've ever done. From the early days of The In Crowd, to getting the hang of things and breaking out on your own...The OAOMEF, The HOTNewzwire gimmick, it's all been great, and an integral part of this e-fed we have. To the HeldDOWN crew:Please do not think that things are going to falter due to this. Given our friendship and his creative input, I'm asking that Kotz "officially" come aboard as a creative entity for the show. There are also two other people I'm going to speak with on this matter. Is it a harsh blow to us? Yes. But if someone's not having fun, if they're heart isn't it to it, it's better to move on then drag things down. Believe me when I say Supes didn't want to do it, he just felt it would do more good than harm if he stepped away. You're all a great crew and I look forward to what we can do together. Let's not let this get us down. To my little bro, I'll miss you here. Good luck in the SJL/SWF...your effort is going to be heavily appreciated by our friends there. -Zack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted April 16, 2003 All I have to say to Supes is this. Since I don't really know you here, I can't say much about working with you. However, I know your passion for e-fedding was great from what little I saw of it, and that it'll carry you where ever you work. Enjoy your time in the SJL (I say four months to about six months). I don't think it'll take you long to get promote to the SWF and be in the real game. And for bloody sakes, have fun and be good at the match writing. And don't be like me, as I never was any good over there. Sure I won a title, but I never earned it. At least you will earn everything you work your ass off in getting over there.

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted April 16, 2003 AS, maybe after LA we can form a stable? If you're interested please PM me. SS told me about the two guys who were planning on coming in and I hope they still decide to. Zack, I've said on several occaisions that I'd like to help with production, so if you're interested PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted April 16, 2003 Wha? Noooo, say it isn't so! Like when Sandman left, I'm crushed, not just because you're gone, but that you're gone because you weren't having fun in the past few months. I know there's no way that can possibly be construed as my fault, but... still, it makes me sad And curses! Again this means I'm going to have to start reading SJL/SWF shows! Do you know how LONG those things are?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted April 16, 2003 Is Supes joinging the SJL? Maybe I read his post to fast, or maybe he edited it, but I see no reference to SJL. Isn't SM going to hook up there soon? It's going to be like Arn & Tully leaving the NWA for the WWF in '88. I guess I'll remove your Mod powers later tonight. It's a shame too. Did you know ALL the OAOAST champions were once apart of the "creative" team? You would of likely continued that. Anyway, good luck SS. Too bad you won't be around for the rest of the split. We know for a fact that was something you really (or at least seemed to) liked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest caboose Report post Posted April 16, 2003 Superstar, what can I say, I don't blame you, I was the first to feel BPP's power, and while I don't genuinely believe BPP's a bad guy, I know you had been frustrated for a while. You are funny as fuck, and one of my better friends on the board, I'll miss your impact in the OAOAST. Maybe you could do what I do and keep on reading and helping out every so often. On a side note, it's weird how you used the name of one of my old signature moves to signal your exit. This is bad for the OAOAST. In the last few months so many of the original OAOASTers have left. The newbies are good, but it was us oldies that were trying to retain the spirit of the original thread. CWM, Some Guy, TheSoleSurvivor, myself, AnglePlex, Big and now SuperStar.

Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted April 16, 2003 Superstar and I talk on AIM, and I know that he's been unhappy here for a while. I agree with him about the "getting mocked everyday really gets to you" thing, since I was thinking of quitting since just before The Great Angle Bash. Anyways, good luck in the SJL. Hopefully you'll have more fun there. Hell, maybe I'll even join you someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Big Poppa Popick Report post Posted April 16, 2003 Well, Im really sad to see this message, because it did catch me bye suprise. Yes, there were frustrations and I've been feeling the same things I think I know SS feels. There was a discussion I started in the mod folder about how SpiderPoet and I were really getting upset by the divisiveness we saw being portrayed by the hD and iZ peeps. We didn't like it, and I spoke up about it...Brash? Probably, I think we were both having a rough day, and SP felt really bad for getting taken so hard to task on his first iZ But that's what happened, and if that's the straw that broke the back, then well, it sucks. I really wish you wouldve stayed on and help helddown develop, because out of anything i could possibly say nice about you, the best thing i can say is that you saw a need for a split, for a new show, and you argued forcibly, strongly, and enthusiastically about it. You're a great gain in the SJL. For all that we've been through, and i know it wasnt the best, good luck and kick some ass...I hope you n Sandman can bury the hatchet and roar through the fed above us... To everyone else: Well, looks like hD needs someone to step up to the plate... Zack, we're here to help in any way that you need fyi: as a side note...if anyone thinks we're "power" positions, just send me a pm *slap* and tell us why...alot of the shocks come from people not talking to other people, and i really try to encourage openness ... and also, ill probably be departing in august, or taking a very limited role...as ill be pursuing a doctorate in economics and wont have a ton of time...so theres more change to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted April 16, 2003 Appreciate the offer BPP. I've gotten things squared away with Kotz, Agnes will be back shortly after school, and the roster as a whole always delivers the content. I think we're ok for the time being. And change isn't necessarily bad-the new peeps are rocking the house as of late. More of that is to come, I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SP-1 Report post Posted April 16, 2003 Hokay. 1. We never blamed SS for starting anything. We spoke up where? In the Mod folder. Because that's where the people in charge of the shows can speak with each other without involving the entire damned roster. We spoke about people showing up over in iZ threads spouting childish hD>iZ stuff instead of laying out why they thought so and offering constructive criticism. I still stand by our feelings on that and I still defend it. But blame you? No. If you're going to Oversee a show, you're the person we're going to talk to about it, though, and we'd expect the same for iZ. 2. Supes, you know I never wanted you to go. You know my feelings on it as we talked over IM, and I have no animosity towards you other than the imaginary kind you seem to think. If your heart's not in it, then none of us blames you for leaving. I would, too. Fuck, what a day. -SSP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
