Well, just now, I have gotten my box for the PS3 to be sent in. I'm sending it in on the way to school, all of the way to Texas. It's not likely to get back until just before I have to move.
Therefore, unfortunately, GCW will be closing down. I hate how this has ended, but given the hardware situation, I cannot do anything different about it. Whereas I felt we were a good kind of unique by running with Next-Gen visuals... it kind of bit us in the ass in the end due to my system crashing, and the difficulty it'd be in having someone else sim the shows. Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets about going next-gen and thought that was one of our best features for this year, but unfortunately the hardware didn't hold up.
I want to thank everybody for participating this year. I think this was probably the most fun that I had since the LXW opening year (which was my first year), and for the most part, this year didn't seem like such a chore like I had let it be in the past. I'm a tad bit disappointed that the activity levels couldn't keep up at times, leaving me to wonder if the fed had died or not... but that's seemingly e-fed-land wide, not just in here. Mostly, I'd like to thank those that have stuck by, and RP'd with me for the most of these last four years, and participating in my feds: Myke, Kyle, Brian, Bryan, Addy, Ryan, Jay, Jager, Haven and especially Lessien... you guys have been a lot of fun to work with through the years, and a constant encouragement to keep on pushing here to keep the fed running, and providing a place to unleash some creativity. Even if we've all had our sore moments between us.
And, as well, to anybody participating or watching, or both, I give to you my most sincere of apologies. I didn't want GCW to have a shitty ending, but unfortunately, fate saw differently. GCW was a difficult beast at times and pretty much rocky throughout it's existence, but I feel that it always had it's potential to be a premier e-fed.
For what happens from here on out? I'm unsure. I have bought a home, and I will be spending time moving into it and improving it, as well as spending time with my girlfriend and doing school. For now, I'm sure that some of you have closing RPs to do, as do I, and I encourage you to do them. And, who knows? Maybe one day, I'll be RPing with some of you in another fed down the road (although probably not one that I'm adminning... it's high time I retire from that lol). Thanks a lot, you guys.
-Jon.

Had some differences here and some regrets mostly this season my first season was probably the best efed wise and probably be my best role playing and sad that I went too far, and on top of personal stuff I went through this year just wasn't happening for me. My main regret is leaving and not retiring Lauren in a good way in her home. Could of had a feud with Lessien probably I don't know but I left over something that in the end didn't happen. GCW was my home fed even when I left it for this season sounds stupid but no other fed could or will replace it. I have a lot of mistakes that I truly regret and going back would change if I could. I've butted heads with a number of people here and I regret doing that. Also saying that I have made a lot of friends some still here to the end and others left before, and honestly if I go to other feds they'll always get compared to GCW.
Honestly at the moment I can't say if I'll get to role play with any of you again in other places, but I can say that with Lauren I just wished I could have retired her here in the way I wanted to. Role playing her in other feds just didn't seem quite right. I also share similar feeling with Cal but a Natural Selection reunion would be very tempting for me. So I'd better stop as I've made enough of a fool of myself now.
Goodbye GCW.
- Jay

Sad to see it close down like this, without a proper sendoff, but.. after VWE went the same way, it doesn't surprise me in the end. It is a hell of a lot of work when your running a fed nearly on your own. I know my next venture is over yonder in TNB2. I'm working staff with Karl & Brandon (Lionheart & Genesis). Looking at a July 1st opening event, so if anyone wants to venture over there, it's wide open. We could really use the females for the roster. tnb2.proboards.com/index.cgiI hope to work with all of ya again. TNB will be the place I'll finish off my career and transition to staff only.

Just want to say thanks for everything you did running GCW. I had fun, and won't forget the good times spent here. Hopefully, somewhere down the road, we can all get together again, and do this one more time. Until then, have a good one. GCW will be missed. ~ Crymson's biggest fan ~ 'Jagerllama' Richard

What kind of sick universe only gives Lessien proper closure? ;D Thanks for everything Jon. It was preasure and plivige to play in your little, assorted circuses with our favorite Cheshire girl. It was a hoot. As most know, I haven't owned a Smackdown game in almost two years ... so Jon was keeping my old yet trusty Lessien design alive and true to form with his talents. With Lessien's proper retirement, it will be the last of the CAWs created by my own two cute little hands. *sigh* I had a great season here with everybody. I think Lauren and Lessien could have torn it into a million little pieces too But I loved the run against Jennifer Drew in all its frustrating glory. Thanks for putting up with her for soo long Of course, ending with Crymson was poetic if not totally irritating. The Debutante division had a rough go ... but I stand by its quality, even if its quantity was lacking. I also had fun seeing Misty again lol ... and Trinity was a fun mini-encounter as well. Anywho, I had fun. And that's what it's all about. Thanks again Jon ... it will all be missed, I promise you that.

wow, kinda creepy but jack seems to be the kiss of death, everytime he becomes world cha,pion, the fed closes but im going to miss this place a lot, and rp'ing with all of you, becus as i've told afew people, im basically done in the fed world and maybe in the caw making world, unless the rp bug bites again, then TNB better be prepared This fed was the fed I felt like home when i clicked on the link in my favourites, always had friends here, always had great rp'ers, and was just fun for the most part. afew things just on my mind I'll never forget, Jingle Hell last season, aka the ppv NS cleaned up at. The amazing three way feud bettwwen Pryor, Remmy and Jack. Talking to Jay after Cal pulled out the impossible last season, and helping him come up with a main event that would be amazing, which we were doing once again this season but unfortunately we will never see who really was the better man just afew ppl I want to thank for being good friends or just good ppl to rp with: Jay (u are the mentor and i am the grasshopper ), Addy (cracked me up quite afew times bettween your XSE rps or facing you on Live with our weird CAW versions of ourselves), Jaques (Toreno and Jack bros for life ) Jon (You are one of the hardest working admins, a great juggler balancing everything in your life to make time for this fed, and eventhough your choice of hockey teams is questionable, a damn good admin ), 187/Remmy/Jayceon (Jack v Remmy never dissappointed in my books), Bryan "Showtime", Leon (eventhough hes gone, great rp'er and a really nice guy), Shia ( been gone even longer, but still was jacks biggest foe imo, which was a great thing ), Starr, WJ/ Jagerlama.... and thats all i can think of atm, also like to thank everyone who made GCW soo awesome. see you later? -Kyle

I was sad to hear that GCW was closing down when you first announced it, and I had selfishly hoped that something would change and GCW would remain open. I truely had a great time RP'ing and reading everyone's RP's here, and I feel that this was one of those boards everyone SHOULD have known about. I felt so at home here, (as stupid as that may sound) that I often neglected things I had to do in my normal life. I'm extremely grateful to everyone who spoke with me, and RP'd with me. And to you Jon for being patient with my constant questions, helping me understand how efeds go and such, and running things here as well as you have. I hope to RP with you all again in the future....If for whatever reason you guys happen to join elsewhere and need more people, send me an invite to (super.havoc@yahoo.com) This was my very first efed and I honestly don't think I could've asked for anything more stellar than this. Thanks and Goodbye GCW - "Hollywood" Haven/Raphael

GCW has and alway will be the home of Steve Toreno (Toreno, Jack and Cal = Team Awesomeness ). as this was only place where i found that he was not a total shamble XD, this place will always have its place in my memories as one of the best times of my life. would like to thank everybody who helped me evolve as a rper throughout my time here. Thanks to everybody, too many to mention, well lets just say everybody who has ever Rped with me deserves thanks. im dissapointed that this place didnt get the send off it deserves. i really dont know what to say at the moment. too many thoughts are running through my head about what i want to say. so i will say one thing. THANK YOU and i will hopefully work with all of you again in the future Jacques (Pryce/Toreno)

wow... I come on to say that I can't come back cause I'm too poor for a computer (while I'm on my friend's computer) and I find out that GCW is closed. That sucks.
Thanks for the fun times, everyone. I failed at RPing here, due to circumstances out of my control, but it was awesome while it lasted...
