whut, now that you are back, i would like to apologise for all the complaining about the map cycle you will read in these forums that took place while you were gone.  when i made the first thread i didn't think it would be that big of a deal, but it seems that a lot of people started sharing their opinions too and it kinda blew up.  i know you put a lot into these servers and the last thing you need is to come back from a trip and read about people bitching at a decision that you made. 

i also just read about bailing on the bid, that sucks.  i hope something works out in the near future so that you make lots of $$$ and you can pay for new servers that way.
