AFTER ALMOST 6 YEARS WITH "SPRUZ," THEY HAVE DECIDED TO GO THE WAY OF "NETZERO" AND OTHERS ... THEY ARE GOING TO A PAY SITE ONLY.
SINCE WE HAVE BEEN INACTIVE, AND IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THE TRANSITION, WE ARE GOING TO LOSE THIS SITE, AND ALL THAT IS ON IT!!!
IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS, COMMENTS OR "GOOD-BYEs" ... YOU HAVE UNTIL THE END OF OCTOBER ON THIS SITE TO SAY THEM.
TRANSITION OVER TO THE OTHER SITE, FOR ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS.
I BELIEVE IT IS CLOSE TO $10 BUCKS A MONTH TO KEEP THIS SITE OPEN, (I'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT), BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DON'T THIS IT WILL BE POSSIBLE AT THIS POINT.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WORK & SUPPORT OF THIS SITE OVER THE MANY YEARS.
I WILL MISS YOU ALL, OR SEE YOU THROUGH TEAMSPEAK, XFIRE, GSC VOICE PROGRAM;
I HOPE WE CAN SOMEHOW RE-FORM IN TIME, AND MEET AGAIN!!!
Well, things have been slipping a while now for our clan. That sucks. So I propose we do 2 things to try to remedy it:
1.) We are going to need to stop thinking of ourselves as a "clan" and more as a "gaming community." A clan usually plays just one game (in our case it has been America's Army). A Gaming Community plays several games. The have no dedication to just one.
The problems with this idea are that many of the long-time Eight Ball Clan members, are getting older and getting ... (strike that) ... HAVE GOTTEN burnt out - especially playing the same one game over and over again.
Another problem is that there is "work" (and sometimes money, i.e. donations) involved in keeping a clan/gaming community running smoothly and popularly. Here again, the "old timers" have already done this, and more for a very long time and, again, are well burnt to a crisp.
So the POSSIBLE solution is this: To look at ourselves as A MULTI-GAMING COMMUNITY called "The Eight Ball Clan." Even though "clan" is built into our name (and it's too late to change that now), if we begin to think, and spread the word about our "change in status," I fell that the name will not be much of an impediment.
The logo can add additional icons of other games, etc. ... But we'll worry about that down the road.
The most fundamental question is: DO WE WISH TO REMAIN TOGETHER - ESPECIALLY THE LONG-TIME MEMBERS? For me the answer is YES! I would hate to see the day come that I cannot talk to the many friends that I have made here. So I think we should at least attempt this transition.
THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE ANY ACTUAL "WORK!" --- IT JUST TAKES A CHANGE IN THINKING AND ATTITUDE!!! I THINK WE CAN ALL HANDLE THAT!
SO LET'S BE FLEXIBLE! START TO THINK OF OURSELVES AS A GAMING COMMUNITY, AND PLAY THE GAMES WE WANT, WHEN WE WANT, AND MAINTAIN AT THE VERY LEAST A TEAMSPEAK SERVER (via donations -- about 10-20 bucks a month, as opposed to 80 bucks a month.)
Many members have found COD4 to be fun to play, and I will probably be joining that group soon. There are also many other FREE games: First Person Shooters, as well as Golf, etc. That we can also play together. (By the way, we have a great ally in a Golf Guild called "GSB." Maybe we can form some sort of partnership with them eventually down the road.) And we all know that Parker loves World of Warcraft.
Anyhow, I think that since we have been in existence for about 5 years now, it would be a shame to fold. From the looks of the donations, it looks like we will be losing our America's Army server & the "free website" that came with it, that we never used anyhow. But if we are going to try to stay together, we might just have to suffer this loss.
The second recommendation follows:
2.) WE NEED A MEETING!!!
I purposely added the "Recent Visitors" section to our site to see just how often people come to this website. And I must admit, it's not many, and it's not often. So announcing a meeting here, may not work out so well. SO IF YOU ARE READING THIS SPREAD THE WORD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON TEAMSPEAK!
Let's try for THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 18TH AT 10:30 PM, EASTERN USA TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will try to make it at that time, and hope other will as well, to discuss certain things as I have spoken about above. But in general, we should at least try

To the active members of The Eight Ball Clan
ECK are still holding tourneys, Fridays 8pm and Saturdays 6pm. We are looking 5 or 6 members to sign up for these tourneys on a regular basis. The more the better.
The next scheduled tourneys are 8pm Fri oct,12 and 6pm sat oct,13 If you can be available for either of theses match ups, sign up, if possible a day or two in advanced so we have time to join the ladder
I have been "busy" from when I get up, to when I go to sleep, CONSTANTLY for a while now, trying to learn about and fight the NWO (New World Order).
The NWO is a VERY complicated subject. I cannot explain the MANY hours worth of study that I have put into it, in only a few lines that I am posting here.
Let me say that whatever your opinion or knowledge may be about the NWO, it is my opinion that this is very serious business and is growing more severe all the time.
I wish I could give you reasons why I see things this way, but it would be a "book length" post.
I HIGHLY suggest that you begin to fervently research this kind of material as fast as you can, because many things are pointing in the direction of things becoming "out of hand" in many ways. (Sorry for being so vague, but there is just too much to explain about it to get into here.)
I can only recommend that you begin your research by exploring some of the Alex Jones sites and material, etc.
One of the easiest ways to research about this, is to go to Google video, and do a search and watch some documentaries about this kind of stuff. THERE ARE TONS of them.
Here is just one for starters: (In this video they make several - most of the first 1/3 of this video speaks about "religious" topics, that is NOT the part that I am trying to point out to you here, it is the "history" of the NWO, etc. that I am trying to show you with this video, so please feel free to "pick and choose" the religious parts, or discard them as you see fit).. but watch the whole thing because interlaced with the religious stuff in the first 1/3 of this video, is also some good NWO info. -- The other 2/3 of this video is much more about the NWO and how it works.)
This video is EXTREMELY LONG .. about 5 hours... so get the popcorn out when you have some time set aside and give 'er a go.
Also, watch some of the Alex Jones videos (link lower right), or search for them yourself on google video.
Many of these videos will just give you "background" information , and not so much of the "current events" information, that is becoming more and more ominous each day. But without the background, you probably wouldn't be able to understand the seriousness of the "current events" material.
Take it from me, things are getting serious. And if you don't want to believe me than: GOOD CALL! -- It's always best to do your own research.
Good luck, and I hope I can join TS and see you all soon.
Try to "hold the fort" as best as you can in the mean time (THIS ESPECIALLY GOES FOR THE HIGHER RANKING OR LONG-TIME MEMBERS).
Thanks! KEEP EIGHT BALL GOING... I'll be around as much as I can, when I can scrape myself away from my "NWO Fight."
