Popular Post Aksel Posted July 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hello, I just wanted to announce that just like everything I have created in life, ORB Website will be closing down in August. I am a failure and I have failed the ORB Site just like everything I've ever created. Now that the haters are writing their posts about how they saw it coming, I'll give y'all the true true. My RL is pretty darn crazy, my career has taken giant leaps which has pushed me into a position to be pretty gosh darn busy during work (where I'd usually spend a lot of time writing articles) and outside of work where I end up working from home/traveling (where I used to finish/write more articles). I am extremely happy with my career and where it is taking me, so I should probably focus more on that real-life career. Apart from that, its fricking summer and I have a dog. There is the sun to enjoy, lakes to swim in, places to visit & my dog isn't going to be here forever, so I want to work to give him the best gosh darn life any dog could ever have (he goes hiking with me and travels with me when I can have him). The website also is paid for out of my own pocket, I've messed with advertisements here and there trying to take a little bit of that out of pocket cost, but to be honest I've made $5.43 and I won't ever actually see that cash - you have to make a certain amount before you get a deposit and its not really worth the pain....and I really don't want people suffering from ads and popups....and its just hard to have a staff that is willing to write frequent articles and keep up with politics. So the site goes away - the server will still be there - server is easily manageable and I (and others) want to do some shows on there, plus I enjoy y'all on there sharing your life with each other there. PLUS Orbis Tribune posts up news there and that's just fricking rad. I appreciate y'all who helped the site out, participated as staff, and all of y'all who paid PW Cash for subscriptions when we first started. That cash went towards contests, payments, and stuff related to ORB more than it went towards my personal nation - so thank y'all for being cool with that. If y'all aren't in the ORB Server - come and join, hang out, earn some ORBs in the economy or just enjoy the random games we have pop up. There will be no next time for this, so seriously, thank y'all who actually supported the site. Love you forever...or until you cheat on me. Also, the Soup is Hot & So is Charlie and Kev. 19 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aksel Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 12 minutes ago, Malleator said: The frick is an ORB? Was originally branded as Orbis Weekly - a news site for PW. Because of some backlash, I was finding myself in due to shedding some light on moderation after I departed the moderation team, I decided it was best to part with the worldly name of Orbis, just in case - so went with ORB. Orb is defined as a spherical body; a globe - my idea was that a community is like a sphere or in itself, a globe (of people) and we encircle this game, so it fits pretty well, IMO. The website is here and was used for articles, gaming news, and housed the Great Job! Worldwide radio show recordings. ORBs is just the currency name for the economy we have running on the server. You can purchase things, steal, etc for the server. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasky Darkfire Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 What Fraggle Said x2. I didn't go on the site much myself, but the server is one of the few places I actually enjoy being and one I'll probably keep around. You've done some great work mate, no shame in putting your RL first tho.

Max hun, i think i speak for everyone including your parents, this is the opposite of failure. 1 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spaceman Thrax Posted July 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2019 Be well max! Your site was cool! This isn't a failure at all. You now have demonstrated you can build something like that, which is an awesome thing that will be with you in whatever else you do. Sitting around and thinking about things you could do and never doing them is so much more of a failure than having projects you make, and then move forward from. I had a lot of fun in your channel, and I hate everything, so if you don't knock off that kinda talk I'm gonna kick you in the teeth. All the best. 8 Quote Slaughter the shits of the world.

Royal Orbis News and Orbis Tribune are the only ones I know. AFAIK OT was the better one which is why we did a partnership with them, but they did just sell.

Chapsie Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hey Max, I've always respected your hustle for this game, but we ebb and flow in life and we always need to take a step back to realize what's real. You made/make this game more fleshed out off browser. and your past roleplay events/participation was always a good time. ORB may have closed, but we are all very happy with what you've done and if there's ever a lil something in the future, I'm sure we'll be open for that. Best of luck in life and your career, stay happy; you're not a failure. 2 Quote We have seized the means of production.
