The guild is going in a bad direction, and this may seem like a drastic change but i feel and many others feel it's the only way. The guild will be disbanded. A spare account will be placed in charge until everyone gets a chance to see this message.

if you have any questions post here, or contact me in game S H A D O W sin mg. I will answer any questions.

Steve or Reaves: in a week or so you can delete the Onyx section of the forums, and you can have your forums back. Thanks for the time we used them.

May I ask, WHY? I know activity has been short and everything in [Onyx], but from this vantage point it seems nobody was really putting the effort in to build it up. All it takes is a few people and some effort and that guild would recover fine.

It's not like [ECTOs] activity is jumping off the map either. We only have like 15-16 members atm. Recruiting starts next week for [ECTOs].

They're your forums too. They're everyone's forums. This is a community and the community has history. Nothing gets deleted - just archived.



What are the plans for the still-active bunch going forward then?

I'm asking short-term AND long-term here. Will you be making a new guild? Will you all just be going your separate ways then? [ECTOs] is an option for anyone who wants to jump over, but just know that this time around we're not being so hardcore about rules and what-not. (That's the way it's going to be, like it or not.) Anyone from [Onyx] is welcome as long as you won't be deadweight on our roster either (ie. still semi-active with mic, forums, and in-game). We're also trying to build up our activity levels.

^^ Just throwing that last part out there. I most certainly don't want to sound like I'm trying to interfere with whatever plans your still-active bunch may have going forward, but the option of sticking together has to be given as an option.

I'm just trying some random guilds. in YUM atm. The fact that i have a new job which requires my attention throughout the week and the fact that people are just dead to everything we have tried. Scheduled runs, meetings, etc etc etc. It's just done. Seems rash but it's not.

Sad to hear it GMike sorry I have not been around much.

Sad to see this happen, but I guess I'm partially to blame so sorry for that.
I don't plan to join ECTOs because I'm not really playing recently, but I'd really appreciate being able to use the GSC and forums just to come and talk shit with you guys. I would have been more active on vent/GSC but with my recent house move I'm still like a week away from being able to actually sit down and play/talk for longer than five minutes, there's just so much to do.
Thanks for having me in ECTOs, reap, meh and Onyx, you guys are really the best guildies anyone could ask for, and perhaps one day I'll be back to play with you guys but right now I think voice chat and forums is as far as I can really go
thanks again,

I removed most of the Onyx forums. They were archived into the meh Archives as the time Onyx existed (and what little it accomplished) isn't worth wasting separate space for archives with. In a few days, I'll also archive this (remaining) forum. Given the uncertain status going forward of the Onyx Administration members, I also removed the forums moderator powers of those people (for now).

Thanks for everything over the past whenever. This is only the end for meh/Onyx, not the end of the greater ECTOs Community. In fact, it's a new beginning. Whether or not anyone joins up with ECTOs (sooner or later), everyone is still welcome to use these forums to keep in touch and have a good time with. That's why they're here. Anyone, regardless of their destination, is welcome onto the ECTOs Community GSC Voice Server as well at any time to chat, game with us, or just shoot the shit. If you need the GSC server password, just ask and it will be given to you.

Hope to see you around.

Shoot me the password and info and ill download it when i get home to come visit from time to time.

im at work now. On hold with a stores isp......

For the record, Steve. Onyx is not disbanded, nor will it be. Trevor (Sparkk It Up) has assumed control in an attempt to keep the guild alive. I have no idea what his intentions are long term, but in the short term, he's going to try to build it up again. Either way, the guild will never be "dead". Just inactive. If Trevor decides that it's not worth pursuing, he is going to give control back to my alt account, in which case, I'll keep open for others to use as a dumping ground for faction.

I just don't know what to think or do about any of these developments. Seems that Onyx was just abandoned and left for dead by many of the Onyx Administration. Although it could just be postponing the inevitable, I removed the "disbanded" part from the Onyx titles for now. Most of the still-active Onyx players weren't even using these forums much lately anyways. I don't know what is worth my time anymore and what isn't so I'll just wait and see.

I can't be sitting here contemplating rubbing anyone from the meh/Onyx crowd the wrong way or not when I have my own priorities too. My focus is going to shift heavily towards building up ECTOs. Anyone who sticks around will see that over the next week or so. Since much of the existing blood doesn't appear to give much of a shit about this community, I'm going to concentrate on getting some new blood in here who does.

Don't take it as a slap in the face, Steve. Damn. It's just a turning point. Nothing bad, just not good, either. There are several reasons why many have left these forums. I've pm'd you about a few, and I'm sure you know the rest. As to not cause drama, I'll leave it at that. But your work on the forums has always been appreciated. However, definitely focus on the Ectos side of things and let the Onyx side of things die until someone contacts you and requests otherwise. I'll see what Trevor wants to do.

Yea, I'll still be around. It's a pretty good community. Even though the guilds aren't one in the same any longer, it's still cool to see how others are doing. I assure you, though. I won't post in the Matters of Ectos forum. It's not my place regardless of how insignificant the post may be (are you reading this? You know who the fuck you are).

im still here.

lol, you know I got nuttin' but love fo' ya, Kodi.
