Understand the family thing.......ROM widows can be dangerous
Good luck Dan see you soon..............

Not only did he make some pretty cool roms for EDT, but he made the awesome Vibrant Music Thread that all of us horrible metalheads took over. Hope to see you again soon here, these forums just wont be as brutal without you.

this is sad brothers...brick is out too

does anybody know what is going on the EDT teams?
anyway, you guys are going to be missed on the vibrant scene. GL

Rest assured that we are still here!
There will be an announcement once we have heard from one more member.

well lets see what is comming up new

Big props to all EDT members past and future. Thanks for your time and effort.

I sure do hope Dan_Brutal and Br1ck'd the best of luck. Your guesses Work is really great and like no other. Dan_Brutal taking family time is great its going to benefit you and your fam. Br1ck'd i hope everything is cool with you and hopefully stuff works out.

Its not like we are out for good you guys. They are making changes to the team that do not suit everybody. I won't go into specifics or my personal feelings about it, it doesn't need to be discussed.
Best of luck, and lots of thanks to all of EDT. Without those guys, I would never have made it this far. Its just a fork in the road, but the journey continues.

Hey you guys still got Toxic Heros!

Thank you, Rob! (ptfdmedic)

The following is crossposted from the midNIGHT ROM threads.
I'm not sure if Rob posted anywhere here yet, but as per his Twitter feed, he's having to make some sacrifices as a parent and is selling his Epic and extras on eBay. Unfortunately, this also means that he will no longer be developing for right now.
On behalf of myself, all of ACS, and the userbase at large, I'd like to thank Rob (ptfdmedic) for everything he's contributed to the Epic community, and all of the time and effort he's put in, in his already busy schedule and hectic life. Our very best wishes are with he and his family.
I and ACS fully support Rob's mission to spread autism awareness. I would like to encourage everyone who has not yet added an awareness banner to your signature to do so now, whether Rob's version, or the version in my signature, by ZHkilla.
But don't just toss up a banner and call it a day - if Rob has taught us anything, it's that autism is a disease that we the public really must understand better. Read the Wikipedia article, read Rob's blog, and keep in mind the challenges that parents of autistic children, and autistic individuals themselves face. Understand that those on the spectrum are people first and foremost, and that while they may be a little different, they deserve all the respect that any decent human beings deserve.
Once again, thank you Rob, for your generous donation of time and effort to making our phones run better, making this community more harmonious, and raising autism awareness. I didn't mean to steal your thunder if you were planning on making an announcement here as well as Twitter... but I wanted to say a few words anyway.

+1000...Thank you!

Thank's Rob.

Rob, thank you for everything you have done here for all of us and for always doing it with class and a huge heart. All the best to you and your family.

I read your blog a while back on The Man with Bare Hands and it really touched me. I never got around to posting a banner but will do so when I get home tonight. Best wishes.

Man that really sucks. I don't post here often but I check in on xda every time I have a free minute. You guys are all great at developing but ptfmedic has always stood out to me not just because of his roms but because he always seems to be very helpful and very patient with the questions around here. Genuinely seems like a great guy. I have also followed his blog on many occasions and yes a lot of it is vey touching. If he has to go I'm sure he will be missed by many.
My question is (without knowing any details about his situation) Is there enough members in the Epic forums to make a one time say $5 or $10 donation to a save ptfmedics Epic fund. Seems like he goes through a lot on a daily basis and that phone could be his only outlet. I hope I am not out of line even suggesting this but I hate to see such a valued member of this community have to leave.

+1 on that one I have the Midnight Rom on my phone. I respect his decision. Is he broke or does he have to spend more time taking care of his family or both?

Thank YOU ROB!!! Will miss your work! Wish you and your family good luck! Stay strong!

Rob, dude. Thanks for everything! I have been running your ROM every since release. You are very talented bro and hope to see you in my next phone venture when things get better.

Wanted to add my thanks. Much respect Rob.

Rob,
Thank you for everything you've done for my phone and things you have taught me about life while reading your blog. I wish you and your family all the best.
THANK YOU

Thanks, k0nane
I also started the same type of thread over at ppcgeeks as well.

If k0nane still needs a phone maybe everyone could donate to a "buy Rob's phone for him" fund and kill two birds with one stone.

Read his blog. It will give you a huge insight into his life and the daily battles he goes through. I've been lucky enough to be on his beta test team since version 2.6. In that time I got to know him as a person and not just as a member of the forums and rom chef, and for that I feel like I've been very lucky.

Thank you Rob.

Rob... your a really inspiring guy, you like too please everyone and use your free time to do this for us when you already do so much for your family... I never knew much about autism untill you opened my eyes and when I read your blog I see how much stress you go through and your about the nicest guy I've talked to... hope to see you around when you can get a new phone, thanks for all the work you've done for this community (this post probably doesn't have that great grammar, sorry)

Taking Leave

I am going to be taking leave from XDA and the Epic development world for a while. I make no guarantees about what will happen with regard to INC but I suspect you won't be seeing the name around much longer.
I will be working on the Indulge while I lay low for a month or two. I make no guarantees beyond that. I will not be answering any questions regarding myself, ACS, INC, or any member thereof. Do not ask. You will not get answers.
Behave yourself, kiddos.

Aw damn it... good luck I guess. Hope you come back.

You will be sadly missed. You have done great things for the Epic and made it a better phone. Thanks for everything and enjoy yourself with whatever you go on to do. I hope to possibly find you on a future phone It's been a pleasure.

Damn bro, sux to hear that you're taking a leave. I'm sure you have reasons why you decided to stay low for a while. Good luck and I just want to say that I appreciate/enjoy your work.

Sorry to hear that. I have enjoyed your work, but I guess you need a break from all the drama lately. Hopefully you can find yourself back here after the dust settles and bring about some improvements for our Epics.

Good luck with your career/ future in developement dude thanks for your work oveer here

Sure ill miss the Amoled but we all know the Evo name gets all the love and you can't deny HTC build quality.... After this phone i will try my best to avoid Sammy.

Oh dayyuuummm. Losing a great dev. Good luck man. Hope to still see you around.

Take care. Have fun with the other projects. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the projects here with the Epic community. You made this place better with your efforts. Have a good one.

Even us newbies will miss you terribly. Best to you.

Hey guys, I'm gonna go a little softy here...you know...since I'm usually ruff, tuff and meaner than a rattle snake, lol
But really, I've noticed a major change in our coummunity lately and for the better. People seem to finally be coming together and helping each other out and not flaming each other back and forth. People are actually working with each other and answering questions instead of yelling 'newbie go find search button'.
I know we've had some issues between us and the mods of late but I think everything is working out for the best. I'm sure things will get better once the changes with xda get buffered and tuned.
You know what guys? This is what its all about right here. A good device, good people and good friends. I think I can finally once again kick back and say I am proud to be an Incredible! And I am most definitely proud to be part of this community!
Thanks guys and lets keep this greatness going people.

Hmmm... I don't see in the above code where you unmounted Mean Mode and mounted Thanks mode... So you may still have been accidentally stuck in Mean Mode while thanking the community?! How could this be??!!

I agree. It seems like there are huge "flare ups" around here every so often, and they come and go. Things seemed to have mellowed out for now, and people seem to being nice and helping out, like you said.
It's way better that way, for sure.

You're absolutely right WildStang. I've seen a lot more cooperation and a lot less kicking and screaming like 4 year olds. Thanks to all the hard working devs for their roms, kernels, etc. Thank you to all you forum goers who take the time to help out everyone else out here!

Community
The hallmarks of an effective community are involvement, creativity, tolerance, passion, confluence and respect.
XDA Developers has a history of innovation, and a reputation for looking imaginatively at different ways of doing things, influencing the environment in which they operate and learning from, and sharing with, others.
Recognition is deserved for those who volunteer real time and effort to advance not only the products that we so love, but the knowledge, understanding and experience of the end user as well.
It is an honor to acknowledge my appreciation for this fellowship.
Much love my friends.

This forum was pretty bad before TheScottsman & Deca came and cleaned it up. Impaler was a great mod as well. Glad I stuck through the bad times and didn't jump ship to a newer phone though. It seems like quite a few of XDA's subforums are troll wastelands.
