I'm sure you were all expecting this sooner or later. I gotta give this site up. I'm way too busy with school work and life right now to keep up with my own site, even if its this slow. It was a lot of fun and i appreciate everything everyone has done, but I have other priorities that are more important right now. The domain is expiring in a month (i think?). I dunno if the VB license will have to be renewed. If anyone wants to take over the site, let me know so we can transfer everything. Otherwise if not, the site will go down in a couple weeks.
It was fun!

Meh, new it was coming sooner or later. I would love to take it into my hands, but I just dont have the time either. Wish it could stay, but we just haven't had the time lately. We finally got a great system set up and very efficient just not enough staff. Most of our staff is young and in college, and that crap takes up about all your time. Others work and have a family life and between us all its hard to find the time to complete the required stuff in efficient amounts of time.
I wish it could stay, but I understand not wanting to spend the money on something you don't really have time for. It would be awesome if someone would be able to take it over, but I don't want to pressure someone into it or try to guilt anyone into it.
All good things eventually have to come to an end, so here it is. Fair well Screen-FX it has been great to be able to help so many people from a vast amount of communities. Maybe sooner or later she will get a second chance, but I have no regrets and I don't think anyone else has. We have been able to help so many people out in such a cool way. Where most signature places charge or watermark their sigs, we were able to offer quality work for free. But as any thing free comes its all on volunteer basis, and just gets pushed to the side.
I would like to say thanks to Storm for hosting this site, and allowing me to be apart of this for so long. I would also like to say thanks to Strike, I didn't know you when this place started, but now I enjoy every conversation we have and being able to see you progress along the way. As of the last month or so I haven't got a chance to talk to you much, but hopefully I can catch you soon. Lots of fun stuff going on. Coobies and DirtyD have become good friends, and awesome to work with. I would also like to say thanks to all other Screen-FX Staff members, and especially to all those who have contributed money to help keep it up this long.
We have created a great community here, not only for discussing graphics and making sigs, but just to generally chat and have fun. I have made a lot of great friends here from different forums, that after the site goes down will probably never talk to again. To those I say thanks for the great times, and hopefully catch you around. Any of those that ever want to talk or chat on msn my email is Alex_watson91@hotmail.com, I have aim somewhere along the lines so just contact me and I can probably figure out my user name.
Sorry for the paper haha.

Yeah, this surely gave me something to do on those long nights. But I have moved to day shift, coming home at night being with family more not so much time.
We indeed made some of the best work and created I think alot of smiles.
Screen-fx.net wont be forgotten.
Storm I salute you for being a man about it and puttin it all out on table!
To everyone especially Watson91 thank you, I mean what do you do when you have no idea what a layer is??? haha ttyl later guys.

Sad to see this go. Good/fun site. Glad to have been a part of it, and learn from all the great talent here! Really allowed me to develop some tiny bit of photochoppin' skill.
Thanks to everyone on here for what they've done, you all take care!

Someone to take responsibility of admin position, take over all donations. And if donations aren't enough be able to pick up the tab on hosting and domain name costs.

I might be able to do that, just to keep this great site running
Storm
04-19-2010, 04:54 PM
if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested in taking over. please tell me immediately. Not much time left before I want to shut it down. I dont know exactly everything that would be required in transferring ownership either!
