Shrike and Carl (and many others) made their own decision to leave HLP for their own reasons. If new members don't know about them, it's hardly their fault and we can't hold it up to them. Many of those new members have become very capable modders or coders. They keep the community running in place of those who have left.
You fail at reality check.
No.
Shrike helped found this ****in' place. It doesn't matter if he left or not. They should know. But, no, they'd rather be ignorant little spastics creaming their pants over ****in' glow maps and ****.
As for Carl - fair enough, don't know who he is. But don't whore out his legacy by slapping his name on a piece of **** promo prop you raided the server fund to finance. It's disrespectful at best, and... provocation, at worst.
Elementary school, check. If you ran a search for "Emerald Ellis" you missed something pretty obvious.
Urgh... This is why I don't like starting this **** anymore.
People are too jaded nowadays because of Facebook and Google. Used to be impressive to find someone's dox, now it's just meh.
