Welcome to thieving central, called Geekhack. Hope you enjoy the results here .
Hey, now. As much as I regret bumping this thread, I'd like to point out that statistically, most GBs are successful, even timely by GB standards.
It's just that the failures all tend to be big, flaming zeppelins taking down everything in their path.
This is my first failure, in fact. I feel pretty okay for the sheer volume of keyboardicity surrounding me (CalmDepths set, NukaCola novelties, other things) and I guess I feel pretty okay about being sucked in by somebody with a couple years and half a dozen successes under his belt.
Honestly I'm expecting it wasn't his first decision, either. The hospital probably came after him for sixty grand, and he decided his debt management was more important than his honor & pride. But I also doubt we'll ever hear what really happened; Ivan has clearly made the break from this community.
