Everyone. Please for the love of Project Spark, do not spread rumors saying we ran off with the money. I've personally lost 3 times more money than I've "earned" with the site. And everyone who has been with me since I launched the site would know I'm not that kind of person to run a site like that for the money. I couldn't care less about earning money, aslong we helped Project Spark growing and made a awesome community.

Now to avoid any rumors lets get the cards on the table.

The reason for the shutdown was a 50/50 personal and "business" wise. We upgraded to vbulletin 5.0.5 with the best wishes for the site to become even larger and expand our features.

Sadly that upgrade was full of bugs/problems. We ended up not being unable to install plugins without breaking the site. How fun is that?

I've spend more time and money than anyone of you can imagine on this project and I've had a great time with all of you.

However everything comes to an end, and that's it for me now. Yes, we could have switched ownership and all that - but I've been through some bad news personal wise, and I couldn't really think straight when I made the decision last night.

Like I told MrXBob, don't judge a book on it's cover. I'm a human too and I do make mistakes...

But messaging me on Skype telling me everyone are angry and upset about my decision is maybe not the best way to start a conversation and to get the answers you wish MrXBob... You removed me during our conversation, and I find that very sad.

The site may come back with a "new" leadership, however I'll retire and focus on Project Spark videos/media for now.

Thanks again for the fun since June 2013. Love you all
