    For the last 6 years I've dedicated a lot of heart into the projects I've made, and have been the instructor behind a lot of very successful websites, but you know.. after loosing a lot of those websites based on legal issues or issues that related to copyright I started to loose more and more interest in the niche as a whole.

    It's almost like I am dedicating 200% of my time into something which has no pay off in the long run, and it breaks my heart I was pretty content on running with this until the wheels fell completely off, but their not gonna throw me in jail, their not gonna take my money their just gonna continue wasting my time.

    I've put a good 10+ days into this thought and I think at this point my decision is still a little on the fence on if I will follow though with this and it not just be a break, but at current stand.. I'm devastated.

    I'll be leaving Sectioneighty, and every other forum / social media for awhile but I would like you guys to know it was a pleasure meeting a large percent of you and I hope nothing but success comes your way.

    This is not a "GoodBye" It's more of a See You Later.

    @Gavin mate I hope to see you around the forums soon. You'll be missed. At first when I saw you join the blog I thought you were a hotshot coder with an attitude but you were more than that and my judgement of you was way off.

    After that I grew to enjoy your posts and thoughts as well as your willingness to help out the community whether it be coding tips or just quirky thoughts. Anyways man good luck you deserve a break from the scene and hopefully we see you around this joint soon.

    I appreciate the kind words.
    And you're right in some senses I do believe I am a hotshot coder with an attitude but I believe that with success comes a lot of mixed emotions about helping a scene that doesn't really benefit you so I was on the fence at the beginning. I've grown to love the community here on Section Eighty you guys make me feel welcomed and I think that's a key role in any successful forum or community not just a forum is making your viewers feel welcomed.

    Maybe it's time for me to get a real job though, maybe coding isn't for me or maybe running music based websites isn't for me.. I'm not completely sure on my emotions at this point because quite frankly their all over the d--- place.

    Coding is a talent of yours, I think you just need some time out to reevaluate what's next in your life.

    The man is having a crisis after pouring so much time into coding for sites for years now only for them to be torn down. Let him express his frustration. :wow2:

    I much rather be arrested them for them to illegally take down my sites.
    What I am doing is not illegal by any means but they don't give me the ability to fight it.
    I have my lawyers currently fighting this case for atrilli right now and it's looking pretty good but that is still not the point.

    As I've said numerous times man I don't care about jail time I've been arrested 6 times and I'm only 18.. f--- jail dude it's nothing but why these people think it's funny to waste my time? All this drama over Beyonce's album which wasn't even worth all this drama to begin with.

    I appreciate those words once again man, I enjoy coding a lot but it seems to do the one thing that I started coding in the first place to get away from which is get me into more trouble.
    Maybe I should just stick to doing freelance jobs instead of creating my own websites, but that's me doing another thing I said I would never do by working for someone else.
