For a very long time, folks wondered and then said it's slick's game. No, it is not my game, let me be very clear about this. TPB3D arose from the fact that a community was clearly abandoned, in fact not just a community, but something much grander, a world wide culture. There are many community's out there, but not many cultures, and a crappy corporation threw this away with reckless dis-abandon, even while people screamed and prayed for another expansion theme pack. Then there is the lengthy time the coding and game have gone on for, but do consider this as well. Good or bad, depending on the people's view, 3 years ago, we were singing the carpenter's song "We've only just begun," and we actually had. Not a single ride model where 143 as of today stand, no coding, where much coding is, good or bad whether you like it or not, it has grown and grown quite big. Landscapes, well whether you love it or hate it, a landscape sort of exists. It may not be quite ready as we would like it, but the coding is in place. Modelers coming perhaps an old faithful gone, but such is life. Is this all mine? Nope, it's all yours. Each and every person who contributes makes this a step closer to happening. See, here is the deal. YOU OWN THIS, it's yours. Go elsewhere to make a better one, ok, but are you hurting yourself and others. Stay, linger and do nothing, you will wonder, that little devil's advocate on your left shoulder, if you had contributed, would it have been the small thing that brightens the faces of millions and becomes a well loved part of the game. Hot shot modeler, they say a quitter never wins and a real winner, never quits.
People in this "CULTURE" and make no mistake about it, that TPB3D is a CULTURE, and now a global one at that too. People will come and go, most for a while some will stay, and unfortunately some will disappear and we will mourn their loses as well, because we love our friends. But every time we advance this culture we shall remember them as well. In here we have something very special, we have what a crappy corporation callously tossed away, a culture and nothing can replace this rarity. It has taken a little over 3 years and might require a bit more time, but when you actually look at what is here, you will see we are not just beginning, we are here to stay. The future belongs to those willing to seize it, grow it, nurture it and appreciate it and finally, all those fun times with their culture of friends worldwide.
