Re: May the Trib be with you
sffan4e. I will miss you. You have always been so very kind to me. There are so many things I want to say.... but perhaps a simple "Thank You" is enough for you to know how much I appreciate you and all of your amazing posts. May be the trib be with you .... always. Thank you for everything. (Hug)
Re: May the Trib be with you
Losing you is a huge blow to this community. I wish you would not leave us because your customs are a part of this forum too. In my eyes, you have contributed a lot to us and I thank you for it.
My message to DTHooters, almost every post has your dislike. While I do not think that disliking should something I could control over you, I think your message is very clear to this board. You are a very selfish person. Soon everyone will be chased away by your actions, perhaps I will be too. I have very little motivation to continue to create any subtitles for japanese sexfight videos is due to people like you. Perhaps I am also a selfish person but at this moment, I feel you are making this board almost has no reason to continue.
Re: May the Trib be with you
Man, hate to see you go, but things happen in life that forces us to give some things up.
Be well in your future endeavors and if Giannis can come back after about 10 years, we might very well meet each other here again someday.
P.S. DT Hooters, you are a four letter word.
Re: May the Trib be with you
'Farewell" is not enough my friend
I am full of feelings. Because you honored me with your friendship for many years.
We will be in touch... Nothing more to say here...
Re: May the Trib be with you
Thank you for all your incredible contributions to this forum, from encouraging posts and interesting threads to your recent experiences with having custom videos made. You're a fine individual and one I will miss seeing around. No farewell can ever express my gratitude for your support of this forum.

Re: May the Trib be with you
Its a shame you will be leaving us. Your custom vids posts have been wonderful both in terms of the amazing previews and the general insight to how customs work. You will most certainly be missed.

I appreciate your kind words very much, but I hope it's not a huge blow to this community. I mean, this forum is so much more, and I hope it can grow even more. I feel blessed that I have been part of it and could share my work here with you guys and gals. I hope it has been a positive contribution to most of you.
Please realize that their have been so many more custom work from others that we are not aware of. I know only of a few sponsors, but I got the impression that a lot of the work we are blessed to enjoy, have been customs. Without these, our choices would have been much more limited.
I wish I don't have to leave too. But without going into too much detail, I have been struggling with my health for quite some time. I will try to visit and contribute to the forum as long as I still can. But I didn't want to suddenly have left, without saying goodbye and thanking everybody for their support and efforts to make this forum to what it has become. Together we are this forum.

I felt very sad reading these words. I hope the received dislikes won't discourage you from creating the work you do. Because I think most of us do appreciate the translations you have done.
I personally prefer videos where the girls speak the language they feel comfortable with, which most of the time is their native language. It usually makes the dialogues, trash talk, etc feel more natural, passionate and intense. Those that speak poorly English, make the dialogues often feel scripted. Not that I blame them for it at all! I really appreciate their efforts and often am even amazed that they do know English at all. But I myself know that if it's not a language you use regularly, it will feel less natural. So that is why I prefer videos where the girls talk in a language they both feel comfortable with, even if I don't understand it. And that's where people like you ckskevin, make a difference with your translation. It really brings a video to a whole different level, if you know what is being said. I myself am used to subtitles in movies and TV, where others might prefer dubbed or translated speech. So subtitles like yours, are really a valuable to me.
I currently have a few Spanish custom sexfights made. And I also opted for the girls to speak their native language. And just as I thought, it felt so much more passionate, even if I didn't understood a word they were saying ^_^
I am now trying to see if they can have English subtitles. We need people like you ckskevin. Please don't give up on us!
Not everybody enjoys each and every content on this forum. And that's OK too. Just as long as there are those who appreciate your efforts, don't let a few critics stop you.
I am currently trying to see if we can have the Like & Dislike (and perhaps the Thank you) button replaced with a single Heart button. I think the universal Heart symbol stands for all the positive things, for example thanking someone for their words, liking someone's work, and even show your sympathy when someone has left/passed away.
This leaves out the negativity of the Dislike button, while retaining the Flag button for things that are out of line. I have talked with the moderators about it, and perhaps someday we can see this come true.
Re: May the Trib be with you
Hi,
as you might have noticed I am still around. I did not expected this. For years my situation got worse and 3 weeks ago I really thought the end was near. That was when I decided to post my farewell. Apparantly premature, because I am still around and my situation stabalized. These few days seem even to get a little better.
So this whole situation feels really weird to me, because I am used to do what I say. Now it feels really weird to have said my goodbyes and not be gone. I don't know how to describe it. Except that it feels awkward and uncomfortable to me. Even a bit ashamed. I suppose it's weird for you as well.
For this, I apologize.
My farewall had no passive aggressive intentions whatsoever, as someone suggested elsewere on the forum. I just wanted to thank everybody and say my goodbyes. I have done this, and won't do it again. So when I suddenly don't post or reply anymore, the reason is here.
In those few weeks, I did my best to put out, which I thought to be the last of, my previews on the forum in a rush. Even in the moments when I was very tired, I had some sense of duty to finish this. That's why a bunch of them followed each other in a rapid succesion. The producers put in their efforts to have them finished and released as quickly as they could, for which I am grateful to them. It was by no means to spam the forum with my previews, nor try to agitate anyone with them.
But I can imagine that it could be a bit overwhelming to some. Since my health has stabalized a bit, I will reduce the amount of previews. I will wait releasing a new preview, untill the last one has been pushed down to the second page. Unless the producers decide to release a video earlier. Because I do think that those who are interested, deserve a thourough insight of the video. To see if it's something they think it's worth spending their money on.
This way I hope most space on the front page is left for other posts than my previews.
And for those who had enough of my previews, I have more good news. As I said before, I never thought I would have my own custom video. Let alone this many of them. I allways felt they are expensive. Don't misunderstand this for producers overcharging us. On the contrary, most of them barely cover the costs with the funds. They mainly make money with the online sales after the release. Still, it's a lot of money.
But when your end is getting near, you think about something known as a bucket list. Things you want to do, before you're gone. And having a custom sexfight video made was one of them. Having almost every company of which I over the years enjoyed their work, made some custom videos for me, this item in my bucket list feels completed.
I still have 3 videos waiting to be released, 1 pending editing, 2 waiting to be filmed, and perhaps a few more depending how much of the funds for the Trib It Forward projects is left, and perhaps some if I have new scripts. But in general my flow of custom videos is coming to an end. And so will my illustrated previews.
http://oi60.tinypic.com/262b8dz.jpg
To conclude, I have 2 tips I want to share.
Firstly, don't wait untill the end with your bucket list. I realize this sounds really like a cliche. But I almost was unable to see the last of my custom videos. And I might still not see some of them. So if you have something you really want to do, and can do without hurting youself or others, don't wait untill it's too late.
Secondly, when in a hospital bed you might feel very VERY cold. Even when everybody else says the room temperature is warm. That is why I am grateful for the so called heat pads. They are like little plastic packs/bags with some gel in them. In the gel there is a little metal piece floating around, which if you bend it, the transparant gel turns solid AND warm instantaneously! It's no ideal or long lasting solution, but for a short amount of time it really gives you a relieve of warmth. At least to me they did. I had around a dozen with me. And the nice thing is that the nurses can easily re-activate them over and over. They simply boil them in water, causing the solid mass turn back into transparant gel again. And whenever needed, you just bend the metal piece and have a little warmth.
Now I am back home in the comfort of my own bed, which is automatically heated. But those little heat pads were a real relieve, even if only for a short moment. Also, for me they got a bit too hot, and I put some cloth around them to decrease the heat. So please be aware of this.
