    I'd take over for this week, but family issues and the end of my university year prevent this. Hope it all works out for you, Nutty.

    Thanks. And it is good news - she just finished her PhD in English Lit and has been hired as a professor/lecturer. The academic job market is completely brutal so getting a real position this quickly is a coup for her personally and professionally; it also means that after many years in the wilderness financially, we're going to finally be a dual-income household again. God, I can't wait.

    WHAT! Okay, well I'll be online anyway if anyone wants to test with me. I'm usually on around that time every weekday, so the same goes for those days too.

    yea good luck with your move and life changes Nutty

    hopefully these lobbies or something similar will be kept going in some capacity.

    Chron, I will look for you when I'm on and we can try to get an ad hoc lobby together with randoms... who knows?

    A (temporary?) farewell.

    OK guys, the time has come... at least for a while.

    As mentioned last week, my life has suddenly gotten crazy. This upcoming week I'll be in Las Vegas on behalf of my employer. Once I get back, work begins in earnest on fixing, cleaning, and selling my house, plus I need to fly to Georgia to shop for a new house... then the move... aargh, just thinking about all of it is giving me a headache again.

    Additionally, and not insignificantly, I'm not feeling the lure of forge anymore. I have yet to make a single Forge Island map or do anything more than **** around on it for a few minutes here and there, so that should put a rough date on when I stopped having good map ideas. I may get back to it, but lately if I fire up Halo, it's just to play customs or drop into matchmaking for an hour. I don't seem to have either time or inspiration to make anything. And while I was happy enough just running the lobby for the rest of you this past couple months, now that my life is insane, I can't keep it up.

    So effective now, TCOJ is on a hiatus of unknown length.

    This forum will remain open if you guys want to run lobbies of your own, or just gather here to talk about whatever. And if you're running a game and I have time, send me an invite - I'd still like to play. (Not this week though... again, Las Vegas.) See you on the other side.

    Best of luck Mr. Nuts.

    I hope all goes well for you guys in your new endeavors and you can find some peace of mind amongst the insanity.

    Perhaps I'll see on the field of battle.

    Its sad to see you go, Nut. I had a great time playing with you in the TCOJ lobbies.

    But, there is nothing stopping someone else from hosting the lobby at the same time and day of the week right?

    Yeah, I'm having similar issues with finding time to do much on xbox. What time I do have often doesn't last for long, and it is almost never during TCOJ usual time. University finals, a newly deceased grandmother, and my own personal projects have just sucked up too much time. The hiatus will be good for you and I both, Nutty. Good luck with your efforts in it all, and don't disappear from our Forgehub lives. You're too awesome to lose, man. I've really enjoyed all of our games in TCOJ from Reach up till now, and even if we can't maintain the regular lobbies, I'd still love to play a game with you every now and then.

    See you round.

    I don't think so. Talk to Nutty if you want to continue TCOJ specifically, he's the main guy in charge of it all. I'm just the poor bloke he trusted enough to show up frequently enough to co-host. And I let him down a lot in that regard. :p

    thanks for the good times Nutduster & Audio..

    to others, there is a new map testing group forming in the Community Customs area that looks promising. Likely to be THursday nights.

    Not at all. I'd love it if one of you guys continued it, and I'd even join on weeks that I'm not pulling my hair out. The problem is, this is more work than it really seems, if you're going to do it right, and historically not many people are interested in doing it week in & week out. But I'd be more than happy if someone took the reins.

    Damn, sorry to hear about this. I had to take a break for a few weeks and was hoping to rejoin for next week only to find this! I have not had much time to forge lately but I haven't run out of steam, so I would also be down for continuing to play with the lobby if other people can. I wish I had more time to step up and be an interim host, but I can't promise I will be around every week like the above dedicated souls.

    Nutduster, best of luck with all your upcoming life changes. Hopefully you will see some awesome creations or real world structures in the near future that will suck you back into the forging world. And hopefully we can still play a game or two from time to time until then.

    Without a doubt. I'm not abandoning Halo or the forum, just taking a partial step back so I can focus on what I need to focus on for a few months.
