BYE BYE CIRCUIT CITY, HELLO FREEDOM!

[Mockery]

Yep, today is my last day working for Circuit City. Starting tomorrow I will be working on I-Mockery full-time. It's crazy looking back on how long and hard I've worked to get the site to this point. Hard to believe it's finally here.

So a big thanks to all of you who've helped work with me on the site all these years. And thanks to all of you who've helped support the site over the years, whether it's just checking it out every week or sharing it with your friends or whatever.

As for what the future of the site holds, all I can say is I'm extremely excited.

Hey Rog, I don't mean to pry, but this is great news.

Does I-mockery.com really bring in enough revenue for you to get by? That's friggin great to hear, man.

[Mockery]

How is that prying? You're one of the oldest members on I-Mockery man... you've been around since we had our very first forums using that crappy old "InsideTheWeb" free message board service. It rocks that you're still around after all this time. And thanks for the congrats.

Anyway, yeah it does bring in enough revenue for me to cover my half of the living expenses each month. I'm hoping I'll be able to make the site grow much more so I can afford to pay I-Mockery's writers for each piece they write for it. While I'm not at that point yet by any means, it's definitely one o' my goals.

I'm just really happy cuz now I'm gonna be able to spend a lot of time on the big I-Mockery projects that I've been wanting to do for a while, but simply couldn't because I had a full-time job.

[Zomboid]

Congrats man, you deserve it.

[Dole]

amazing rog. nice one! I expect to see you on the boards all day, every day now, replying to every single thread.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Especially Jonathan Clements posts.

[Archduke Tips]

Congrats, Rog.

[Blaber66]

You know, since you don't have a Circuit City job...THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT CHANCE TO RELEASE A CLUB PACK!! *HINT HINT* :wank :whitepig

[Ninjavenom]

[Black Flag]

[sadie]

rog, you have restored my faith in the american dream.

[kellychaos]

Congrats, Rog! I just get this feeling that I should probably contribute more than inane posts. :/

[deAdeNdz]

Congratulations bro...glad to hear you can finally do this....I've seen you do amazing things with this site over the years and you never cease to amaze! catch ya soon! I think Kabutos is in the future!

[Mike]

Sounds like it's just what you needed!

[Protoclown]

I've said it already but I'll say it again...congrats, dude!

[Dole]

Rog has assured me that if all goes well with the site, all vets will soon be PAID to post here!

[KevinTheOmnivore]

FANtastic!

[kahljorn]

Congrats Mock, nice that your work is paying off. I'll do celebritory things that wont really involve you at all, but as far as life on this message board is concerned the next 48 hours of xanax taking pot smoking excitement is all for you maaan.

We call this Celebration the traditional, "48 hours in 4 hours fiesta".

[Stabby]

Kudos to you!

Won't be long now before we're all complaing about how I-Mock Corp is running the country with all it's liberal media outlets and 68% ownership in the Mega Peeps conglomerate (peeps of course replace oil as the new fought over fuel source in fifteen years).

[ScruU2wice]

When do you start your job at freedom?

[EisigerBiskuit]

This is awesome. Congratulations!

I propose a march through the streets of DC throwing flyers and confetti.

[Slinky Ferret]

I think this is what is required! :bestthread

Congratulations! I knew you'd get there one day! :)

I'm curious to see what will happen to the site from now on...

[Chojin]

Hourly updates to the rog blog.

[Immortal Goat]

This is great news, RoG. Glad to hear that you have unshackled yourself from the chains of corporate America! Now you are free to do all the articles you have been aching to do over the years, get some awesome new goodies in the club packs, and dance around like Tom Cruise in your underwear!

and perhaps pay everyone who writes movie reviews? JK.

[whoreable]

it is amazing that you can run a website like this and make a living, hooray for the internet.

enjoy your retirement!

[McClain]

Would that "pay" portion you spoke of be prorated?

[mburbank]

I am now counting the moments until I can start talking about what a cool magazine I-mockery used to be back in the day before you got fat and happy and totally lost your edge. Who'd ever have thought Ol' RoG was going t o sell out the way he's going to now that he's all succsesful. I remeber when I-mock used to be the cutting edge of comedy.

[Mockery]

Sorry, I would've responded sooner, but I've been too busy laughing at all of you "people" who are looking up at me as I stand atop my mountain of gold.

Rog has assured me that if all goes well with the site, all vets will soon be PAID to post here!
Actually, you'll all be paid simply to EXIST. How's that sound?

Thanks again for the congrats all :picklehat

[timrpgland]
