So, you may have noticed I’ve been a ghost in the online gaming community and gamingtv.us has been down most of the summer.

Basically, I have been editing videos and doing photography non-stop for a christian youth camp in Wisconsin. What happened to GTV before I left was somehow, we were putting out some sort of nasty email spam or something in our site code(I still don’t get it), and the owner of the hosting company(I thought I knew the owner but apparently there’s a company higher than him that owns it all) demanded our whole account and everything get terminated. Apparently it didn’t get totally deleted…just the entire website, minus the video files themselves. At that point, I was leaving for the whole summer….and to be honest, my enthusiasm for GTV had been waning in general. To be perfectly honest it’s a hobby that’s taken wayyyy too much of my time and I barely had time to game as it was….gaming has taken a bit of a backseat in my life. Basically, I am saying effective as soon as I pay my last bill, I’m taking GTV offline, forever. I will not be opening any new websites like GTV….ever. I gave it a pretty good shot…but trying to do things like contests and just paying the hosting bills have been a slow drain on my wallet that I need for other things.

I’m just telling you guys to fill in the blanks, and I just want to be a normal gamer again. I’ll probably be dropping the “trigger” handle and changing it to something else. I honestly hate being recognized online…I’d just rather game with my friends and just…HAVE FUN. What a novel idea. I’ll probably just change my gamertag on Live so you don’t have to re-add me. I love playing with THXers, and I hope to see you guys online again. Officially I am done working at this youth camp late August-early September…so I’d anticipate me coming back to Live sometime in September.

Just so you know my playing online will probably not be that much…this fall is a bit of a crossroads in my life and I have a lot of important career opportunities/choices to make that will definitely affect where I am living, which would then obviously affect my internet situation.

I hope to see you all online soon(and hopefully a LAN, lol)

Sincerely,
TJ.

P.S.- Those looking for alternate hosting who like making their gaming videos available for download, I recommend www.filefront.com . As for flash video, there are a myriad of hosting services ranging from the MLG GameRoom(http://gameroom.mlgpro.com) to WeGame(www.wegame.com)
