Even though I'm gone, I got a text from a friend who still comes on here all the time and he told me Vod left right after you did. I had to come back and check this out. Needless to say this message brings tears of happiness and pure ultimate joy to me. Contemplating buying some BTC back thru coinbase and doing a rain of 0.001 BTC to everyone who wants it to celebrate this amazing moment and savor it.

I'm SO happy I could EXPLODE with joy!

You all really don't know how much this has truly made my week. Wish I was still in bitcoin now but I'm not. Just felt I'd share my joy. God bless everyone this week and for the next couple months.

Personally I hope you fail your Microsoft tests and go back to being the bouncer at the bar where you haven proven through facebook photos Martin Laurence that you sexually harass your own co-workers there.

Of course, man. Your personal life is more important than the forums.

I hope DefaultTrust picks up enough to cover the hole, though - this may cause a bit of a problem if we don't all step up...

Oh. One last thing.

KingOfSports, please get out. That post just proves you are a terrible human being.

Always the right decision to focus on things that will help your future. Good luck to you and your certification Vod.

Hopefully, there are other DefaultTrust members that can pick up the slack and not let scammers run wild.

All the best Vod, it's easy to get caught up with the forum sometimes.
See you back here in the new forum soon.

Hopefully you won't return to find the forums like this:

Jokes aside, good luck with your studies Vod, it sounds like you're making the right decison. The forum will be missing a valuable asset during your absence.
I was under the impression this was the status of the forum not even two weeks ago when there were 8+ threads open in meta about default trust, wanting Vod removed and wanting the trust system to be changed, along with multiple people trolling him from various angles.

I don't blame him for wanting to take a hiatus, his work here is really not appreciated by the people who he stops from getting scammed and the people he stops from scamming tend to hate him

I'm sure vod can handle the 'trolling' and likely doesn't let it get to him ultimately, but I can see how getting involved in this sort of stuff is distracting from his studies. Even being on the Internet isn't a good idea when you're studying as it's far too easy to just procrastinate. And something tells me vod doesn't need the appreciation but enjoys the scambusting anyway  Cheesy (though maybe not when he's got better real world things to be doing).

He said recently that all the false accusations were getting to him. He mentioned that since his RL identity is tied to his account anyone that knows him, or looks up his name will be able to find all the BS that people write about him. I wouldn't be surprised if it is somehow affecting his personal life/relationships. (I think this came up in the takigirl fiasco)

Oh really? Where did he say this? Though I can understand the being tied to his real name thing. I wonder if his name being known was on purpose or was he doxxed at one point? Never a good idea to post personal stuff on here especially if you're a member like vod. Very easy for people to get grudges very fast especially when you bust their scams and rub them up the wrong way.

He said it here.

His username was actually changed a while back by theymos, it used to be something like mlawrence but since he was so active in busting scams that was too close to his real name for his comfort.

He probably posted his dox/RL identity when it was not yet known just how popular this forum would be for scammers and before bitcoin became so successful.

I am fairly certain that Vod has caused scammers to lose a lot of money at at time by foiling potential scammers, and as a result they really have it out for him

If VOD has a problem with accusations being lodged against him, maybe he should refrain from making false accusations of his own.

Good luck with your studies! Smiley When you come back, please try to be more level headed instead of throwing little tantrums.

All the best.

You would also do well to re-evaluate some of the idiotic trust accusations you've made recently, as by your own admission they are probably undeserved.

Hey all, I figured I'd post this in Meta since I'm a substantial contributor to the forum, and I get a lot of PMs from people asking for information or giving me tips. 

Someone I respect recently told me I seem like a different person lately and it's true.  I'm in a career change and it's not going well.

The last two months I have been studying Object Orientated Programming (before I used to do procedural programming).  The end result will be a certification from Microsoft in the C# programming language.  I'll be moving my business to 100% programming down from the 20% it is now.

I get frustrated studying (I'm not learning as fast as I was even 10 years ago) and I come back to the forum and the frustration follows me.  This causes stress, which in turn, causes me to have more distractions while studying.  It's a negative cycle that has to stop right away if I can even hope to meet my time goals.

I won't be logging into the forum (even to check messages) as any news on what's going on here will get me hooked and stressed all over again.  I plan on coming back only when I get my Microsoft certification, which should be March or April.

In the meantime I'd ask other default trust members to continue to be vigilant when dealing with newbies, ponzi operators, etc.. all the things I used to handle.

There are a few of you I'll miss chatting with but mostly, this forum has become a waking nightmare to me since I started studying. 

Thanks for reading guys, and I'll see you in a couple months!

Vod



That's a very good decision you just made mate , respect
Good luck on your studies and I hope you will your ceritification from microsoft Smiley Programming is a huge world & interesting I HOPE YOU accomplish a lot of things
Till then ... see ya Grin
