Hi everyone from long ago....

Hi everyone,
   So before you ask, yes I am the real J4bber, original owner of UOCoders.com.
   
   To start, I want to say I am SORRY for being such an arse with deleting UOCoders in the past.  This was me letting my pride and arrogance get the best of me.  You see, I had decided to give the site to TrailMyx and Cerveza from an administration, management, control point of view, but keeping the actual ownership.  I don't remember the specifics, but I got pissed during a discussion with TrailMyx and Cerveza and just said to hell with it and deleted the site.  That was childish and stupid on my part.  I also walked away from the UO community completely. 
   
   Fast forward to now, 15+ years later. 
   
   I turned 50 in 2021 and have been looking back on the things I did when I was younger.  Deleting UOCoders is one of the things that came to mind.  Reflecting back, analyzing what I did and didn't do, I realize this was one of the bigger mistakes I made back then and I wanted to say how sorry I truly am.
   
   The day I deleted the site hurt more than just me, Cerveza and TrailMyx.  I let down ALL the great coders that were around then and the up and coming coders that had yet to be a part of the community.  I let down having a place for learning scripting, having a place to belong, and not having the dictatorship of the EasyUo site block us all from having the scripts we wanted.
   
   But TrailMyx and Cerveza did not let everyone down.  They created scriptuo.com to continue having a place for like minded people to continue to work together on UO scripting, I am so glad they did.
   
   So why am I even telling everyone this?
     
   I am not sure if this message will stay or if the bridges burned long ago are still burning, but I just wanted to put this out there.
   
   To TrailMyx, Cerveza, Missymoose, Gimlet, Freddy, 12TimesOver, _C2_, Endless Nights, Guadah, Tidus, redsquirrel, Neo and the many other names I just don't remember, I hope you accept this appology. 
   
   Keep scripting, enjoy the game, have fun.
   
   -J4bber

When they come for me I'll be sitting at my desk
     with a gun in my hand wearing a bulletproof vest
My, my, my how the time does fly
     when you know you're gonna die by the end of the night

No grudges felt here.  Sometimes little things like that can create opportunities else where.  UOCoders was great because of the people, and it lived on when it came to ScriptUO.  The community is still here, and you are still apart of the community.

Well it is time to call it done.  Hanging up my UO and scripting hat.  Fading into the sunset.

To all those out there over the years, thanks for the good times.  To all those still using the scripts, enjoy and realize just how much blood, sweat, tears, and sometimes even more were put into them.

It probably does not need to be said since I left for 15 years before, but just in case anyone cares.  At this point all my scripts, if you still have any, are Public Domain.  Do what you wish with them.

Remember, it is just a game....

So long everyone.
