The End of an Age

This post bring some serious news. I have recently sent a message to my cast mates at Hak.5 in which I, for lack of better words, resigned from the show.

I must preface this by saying that the recent news about Hak.5 signing with Revision3 has absolutely nothing to do with this decision. I think that this new partnership may provide some wonderful opportunities for those involved. It will certainly open new doors that would have been very difficult to reach if Hak.5 stayed completely independant.

With where my life is right now, and my career, I do not have the time or mentality that I need to dedicate to bring all of you that which you deserve. That coupled with some difference of opinions and other personal differences, the time has come for me to move on. There is always a possibility for an appearance here or there, but in no capacity similar to when this whole, crazy ride started.

I will be starting my own project in the future, and plans are already in place and rolling to get that off the ground. I will keep everyone posted on that project's progress. I will also remain in the Hak.5 community, hanging out in IRC and chatting it up with all who wish to join.

So, I wish you all the best. I hope you enjoy the new format of Hak.5. I hope that you stick around to check out the Unpersons when I get that started.

Thank you for the 3 awesome years, and, for one last time....

[this is good]

It's just not going to be the same show without you man.

The show's just not going to be the same without you man. Best of luck with your current project. Can't wait to see what you're working on!

Hey wess,

What a shame.

[this is good]

I just came across this shocking news. I just can't believe it man, truly. What a complete loss. I speak in all honesty when I say that you'll be truly missed by the fans of Hak.5

It's been a great three years of watching you guys work together to produce such an independent iptv phenomenon. I'm not talking shit when I say that you have given me some of the best entertainment since Looney Toons. I mean that in the most flattering and complimentary way. I've learned so much from you and Darren and it's a damn shame to see the end of that.

I'll keep watching the show even though it's moved to Revision3 and I'll definitely keep an eye out for your projects in the future.

Best of luck Wess and Trust Your Technolust.

Regards,

Duncan.

You'll be missed from the show, hope to see you back on sometimes.
Best of luck with the future, and Trust Your Technolust!

Haha, I don't care who you are, that's funny right there...

It was better that I make my move now then wait till after the cut over was complete. This way they can plan correctly for my absence.

Wess You and Your mods will be missed. I hope the show doesn't change to much with your departure. There were be something missing to the show with you gone. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Best of luck to you Wess your projects were all great.
If you launch a future project I will be excited to watch.

Another Hak.5 fan that will miss you Wess.

You and Ali were most of the reason I watched.

Looking forward to your future projects. :)

Sucks your not going to be on Hak5 anymore but you gotta do what life throws at ya. Best of luck with the new horizon man.

I will miss your mods and case tips. I am curious about your next project.

Shame you are going I thought the show when it was you and darren was better there was a good element of humour along with the technolust, although the new show could be good i am looking forward to the new series

Was it your choice to go you mention "differences" so I was wondering was you sort of pushed out

Wess,

I guess with time, comes change. The end of an era. All of you guys did great work! Thanks Wess! Best of luck and look forward to hearing about your next project.

-You have friends everywhere.

No, I wasn't 'pushed' out. There is nothing to be read into. Differences are differences. My personal life goals didn't align themselves with what was good for the show and what would have been best from me for you, the viewers. Don't think for a second that there was some huge falling out between the other 5ers and myself. This was a decision that I came to all on my own, after weighing many factors. I neither harbor nor wish any ill will to all those that continue to be, and have recently become, involved with Hak5. I wish them all the best and hope that they as successful as they want to be.

Well, at least you didn't just leave during mid season.

Well, at least you didn't just leave during mid season. You were patient enough to think it all out, plan ahead, and wait til the end. I heard you gave Darren a heads up, he just didn't believe you. I doubt any cast member or viewer would. But alas, time changes all and I wish you the best of luck.

PS Heard you were in Colorado, if I remember correctly. Hows it there?

PS sorry about the double post, Vox messed up

i only just realised then, i was thinking about the current new season ep's and sat up in bed late at night mentally screaming,

What Happened To Wess ?!

no i know, good luck with it all
