Haha thanks Kuz, I'm happy to be the crew punching bag, but remember I hit back ???? and sorry I got disconnected last night y'all I really had a good time while I was on!!

i've made some friends on twitter outside of crew stuff... they mean a lot more to me than the people that only like my gta related stuff... those people can jump off a cliff for all i care, lol... there's a good portion of that community that literally live in los santos, while the rest of us live in reality... i still want to share crew stuff tho, there's a general interest in seeing what we're up to, and what themes we do... someone in the PALS crew twitter chat said last week that our crew looks fun, and that was just randomly after he saw another set of BMX pics... i see it almost every week tbh, it's what keeps me posting .. but if you don't want to, you don't have to... it's all good... i don't think it's a waste, it's just something else to do... i gave up a long time ago on trying to get us noticed by rockstar, now i just share our stuff for fun... but you don't have to if you don't want to... and thanks for understanding, dup... i do have stuff in my life right now that is stressing me out... i am trying to do too much, and i could use a lil help here is all... and yea, i am seriously getting burnt out on GTA, so i think a small break will help out...

It's not rocket science, but it is a time commitment (banners and emblems too), and your dedication is appreciated and hasn't been taken for granted. We've met pretty much every single week for the last four years!...that's a big deal. bOnEs works two regular jobs plus freelancing on the side to pay the bills on a house and car, and hasn't missed a crew night since what, his brother's graduation? Whereas Kuz's mom still makes his supper and does his laundry, and he only shows up once a month, if that. So, suck it, Kuz, don't kick a guy in the nuts when he's down. bOnEsy, you've faithfully served as crew night wrangler on the forums for a really long time, I'll take over topics and we'll take it from there. Take a couple of weeks or all of August off from crew nights and just take a mental break, it would do you good. It takes strength and honesty to communicate what you need, well done. You take care of you. Come back when you're ready. There are more than enough of us to spread the work around. I mean, when DiO announced he was not doing playlists for a while there, we made it work, right? The wheels won't fall off the bus because someone else is making the topic. We'll be fine. I'm a forum mod in name, but the reality is the site's current traffic is pretty low for that to be a big job anymore. The game is several years old, so we don't have twenty n00bs an hour posting shit in the map topic or spamming the videos thread. We still deal with issues you guys don't see, but it's not like it was a few years ago. It'll pick up again when a new game is announced or once Psy and the other red admins get to the next level with his website plans. DiO, do you want access? We can ask Fitty to grant you permissions for the crew events section, you're already a mod on the FML portion of the site, so that shouldn't be an issue. Then you could cover for me if I'm going to be unavailable. I'm prepared to take the lead on it, but we could alternate weeks or whatever. I'm pretty easy-going, tell me what works for you.

I swear some shits always gotta go down when i skip a crew night. Gonna be honest here, ive never seen you as the boss/authority/etc, bOnEs. I see you as the topic creator and the most active Twittererer, maybe that's just me but maybe it's not. This Isn't a knock on you or anything, i'm just saying aside from the pressure to create the topic each week, it seems you're carrying a phantom weight on your shoulders. Let it go, bud, i promise no ones toes are gonna get crushed Crew nights aren't really as organized as they use to be anyhow, most of the needed organisation if not all came from staged photo ops which we almost never do anymore. Just chiiiiill, have some fun, go find a Casey, and hit it. I nominate weev as the temporary topic starter.

i've been at it since GTA IV days, i need a vacation lol... i've been extra bitter lately on crew nights about the game so i think i need this break... i might pop on occasionally to sell some cars, and i'll prolly hang with wendy friday... but i am gonna just stay away from GTA for a while... the new creator stuff i might check out, but i feel like even that is gonna be underwhelming to me if it's only restricted to races and 100 props... but enough about me, this topic is for sharing crew night stuff so... ...here's a selfie i took because i wanted a new SC profile pic ... me, bmx, north, weev, grl, fanboy... i look forward to seeing the snaps and vids ...

Bones, seriously man don't worry about crew night it's all good... Sort your own life out and come back when you feel ready, that's waaayyyy more important. Gtagrl, I appreciate you feel the need to put kuz in some sort of place (even if it's unfounded because in my opinion he made valid points without going after anyone personally) but you should never assume. You know what happens when you assume? You make an ass out of you and me. You don't know what anyone has going on day to day so don't pigeonhole someone. It's a shame because your 1st post I mostly agreed with, but with decidedly turning this into some sort of war against everyone else, fanboy included, you changed this from a topic about Bones' personal life and helping him deal, to something unwanted and uncalled for. I have a lot of respect for you gtagrl but on this occasion I felt that was out of line

I'd be happy to make the topics too. I just don't have the ability too because the forum is restricted. And what Kuz said. We don't do the staged photo thing as much anymore because we generally can get cool pics in the rockstar editor much easier. We did a 100 meter dash in dups fuck around. That is about as much direction we needed for the theme.

Hell man,I know I haven't been here all that long to run anything I'll gladly step up and run at least everything online if say gtagrl runs the forums side of things considering she's a mod.I don't know,just thought I'd be the first to speak up and land the temporary role.there's obviously more people that know about this more then I do but just throwin my name in the hat.

well put, gtagrl, well put ... but as of today, i am stepping away from trying to organize for the time being...we're planned out for a few weeks, but maybe it's just me that is getting tired of it... or maybe i am having a mental break down in real life... but for now, i wouldn't mind if others stepped in and ran things... i am too stressed with running a graphics team, a kitchen team, and a GTA team... i need a break from one, and unfortunately, two of them pay the bills... it's not a knock on this place, i love it here, but can i get a small window of solace?? i think only gtagrl knows what i am dealing with in my "personal life" , which also adds to my struggle, but i think i finally realized that i could use some help here and not try to run the show all by myself... as much fun as i had tonight, i also had a meltdown after we all parted ways, and i am still dealing with it... and i am man enough to admit that... i could just use some help with organizing here... i'll happily make new banners and such, but i am tired of playing mr. nanny, mr. vault overseer... i'd like to just join and not have to be boss is all... i just need some time right now to be another one of the guys...

Speak for yourself, bOnEs, I'm not bored of the game, and I'm busy too, but not so burnt out that I can't play GTA once a week and have some laughs. IMHO, you spend an excessive amount of time on crew nights complaining about what we don't have, instead of just having fun with what we do have, and it's frankly exhausting to listen to a steady stream of negative, critical comments. There's nothing wrong with venting or expressing disappointment, but it's a different story when negativity overshadows everything else for hours on end. (Fanboy, that one's for you too. All sour all the time. Yeesh...) You seem to spend a lot of time complaining to us about non-crew people from Twitter (not the awesome ones we've recruited to iGTA), and you're the one saying weekly you're burnt out and don't want to play, I don't hear anyone else saying it. I think you're too caught up in social media stuff and it's affected your perspective, so maybe a break would do you good, and there's nothing wrong with taking a step back. I still look forward to seeing you guys on crew night. It shouldn't feel like a chore. Our usual routine of gathering, some car lineup/fuckaround, playlist one, intermission, playlist two seems to work most of the time. That said, if R* releases five brand new races on a crew night, I refuse to feel bad for wanting to play them...that's a normal thing for a fan to want to do! We fucked around in freeroam, did one playlist, argued about it then tried the new stunt races, spent too long in freeroam again, then launched the fuckaround job, then it got late, that's why things had fizzled by the second theme playlist. We can all step up, not a problem. You've been doing an awesome job of listing themes a month in advance so we can plan ahead. Crew nights work well when we know themes in advance enough for people to build new jobs and get playlists put together. There's a few of us that are comfortable throwing together playlists on the spot if needed, and our creators always seem to make new playgrounds for us, and push the game's boundaries, that's what's kept it interesting for me...seeing what new crazy-ass job arena, racetrack or photoshoot set location you guys will build next. The DLC stunting creator tools mean we'll have new toys to play with soon. Even if things aren't perfect or what you expected from new content, we can and will still "have a nice time", and it would be great if you were with us along the way when you feel ready, you're a key part of this team. I've helped you with crew night topics before, and can do it again, starting now. You aren't alone and never have been, okay, bearded scooter brother buddy of mine? #iGTAfamily4lyfe

Yeah it's really fun. So much to do. Already cleared the dangerous obstacles. Not scrapping everything. In doing so I found two exits, one to University Point Pharmacy, the other of which leads to my favorite place in the Commonwealth, the parking garage maze of death near Milton Hospital. If you guys have never done the maze of death, I highly recommend it. Totally psycho, full of traps, and things, but you'll earn a ton of XP. The reward for surviving is how I got the hot pink power armor for Nora.

I can't post these as neatly as usual, because I'm temporarily without a computer, and trying to post everything on mobile would be hell. Hopefully you kids like these.
