Title: I apologize.
Post by: DeadTreeClock on June 25, 2013, 10:26:34 AM
Hey guys,

I'm here to face the jury, so to speak. This is a really difficult thing to do, because I always hoped that when I finally did it, I'd be able to in the light of setting things straight. LumpClock and I had a great conversation that convinced me that I shouldn't wait for the ââ,¬Å"perfectââ,¬Â time.

For years since my mom suddenly passed away, I've struggled with really severe depression. It's made it really fucking hard for me to make a living and put food on my own table, on top of having to deal with legal obligations related to both of my parents and my mom's parents, all of which passed away in a pretty short period of time.

I spent a lot of time selling things that belonged to them to clean up their messes and make ends meet. At one point, I sold something valuable that was in my family for a long time. I fucked up by sending it via USPS without any tracking or insurance, thinking it would be fine. When it didn't get where it was going, the PayPal dispute sucked the life out of my account, which I was stupidly using alongside the Clock Crew's money. It's fucking stupid and it's 100% my fault.

I've perpetually been in a state of it seeming nearly impossible for me to put food on my own table and take care of myself. My financial situation sucks. I've interviewed for all kinds of jobs and repeatedly been told that I wasn't a good fit. My mental state has been shit, without family or friends to help me figure anything out. Certainly I've had no help figuring out my depression and my legal obligations. I've had no insurance for years and any medical problems I have just come out of my own pocket, which is virtually empty most of the time.

It's been the worst for me, and to top it off, I've felt guilty the whole time because I'm not good enough to fix my stupid mistake here. I never felt like I could show my face here without being ridiculed, unless I was immediately prepared to set things straight by making a SURPRISE! I FIXED IT announcement. And even if I could I still expected to be hated and ridiculed for my stupid mistakes.

Shame is the real name of the game here. I'm ashamed of my mistake and the way it hurt a community that I loved giving my time to. I'm ashamed of the circumstances that put me in a situation of living from eBay auction to eBay auction and even then, being barely able to make ends meet and move on with my life. I'm ashamed of not having a family to spend holidays with, or to encourage me when I struggle with this shit over and over again.

Since the beginning of this year, things have looked up a little for me. I've had some great freelancing clients that have helped me take care of myself, put food on my table, cover my expenses. I have had some promising interviews and other job prospects on the horizon.

I talked with PatriotClock and we're going to talk more about ââ,¬Å"replacing the treasury through installment payments or something of the sort. Really anything would be a sign of a serious desire for forgiveness.ââ,¬Â When I work that out with them, I will tell you all the details myself and let you know how I'll be held accountable for everything start to finish.

I never wanted to fuck this up. I made stupid mistakes at a time in my life when everything was falling apart. It would've been better to never have touched anything financial for you guys in the first place, which was also my mistake.

Any ridicule or hate I get, I probably deserve, and I don't expect to be very liked here even when things do get worked out, and that doesn't matter because I want to set my wrongs right however I can, however long it takes and whatever I need to do, no matter what anyone says to me about my past.

I also apologize for anything I said that gave any of you the impression that I was taking credit for your work. I'm just proud of the things I was able to be a part of here, and I hoped that pride would help me stand out to a good company, and help me get myself into a position that would let me set things straight here. I'll just strike my work here from the record and find another way to talk about the things I think I'm good at. I don't deserve to be able to associate myself with this place anymore, I've thoroughly un-earned it.

I didn't imagine my life going the way that it did, and I'm sorry that I've deprived you guys of an important resource because of my mistake.

The apology is empty at the moment, but as the empty money pit fills, so does the sorry pot.

Of course. I'm not looking for forgiveness, which may or may not come. Just to do the right thing as I am able, and I expect nothing from anyone in the meantime or even after the fact.

Given that you seemed like a pretty good guy why I Internet-knew you back in the day, I am going to take your word on what you've said. I've skirted the issues you've had in my own life, and I know how crushing those kinds of things can be on a personal level. So I'm sorry for everything you've had to go through and I would have likely exiled myself in the same situation. It really does say a lot that you were willing to come back here knowing the kind of response to expect.

Well I'll go ahead and say it here. The years that I knew you I thought we were pretty close. Hell at one point I had even thought about sharing an apartment with you, and that was right around after your mother had passed away. We've had a lot of talks about a lot of different shit, and when people were ready to put your head on a pike I stuck up for you. It felt pretty shitty to have to go after you on facebook just to ask about the money, and it felt even shittier when you had me deleted and blocked after all those years of knowing you just because I had asked. I would have helped you out if you had just said something, but now it's probably going to take more to gain back my trust. And more than just making monthly payments. If you want to talk more, my screen name on AIM is still the same after all these years. I've since deleted the facebook though.

If all this is true then that really sounds awful, I can't imagine going through that without a support system. Everyone makes mistakes and frankly you could have made a lot worse of one. That said, I hope you continue to fight so that you can have a stable living arrangement someday, and when you do, a thousand bucks shouldn't be too big of a deal in monthly installments or whatever.

Quote from: TreeClock;1952382trees view.
well, tree clock, i will be honest here. if you asked me a minute before reading your post here, i would call you a thief, and i would demand the money-back, in the name of justice.

but now...im shocked.
it is TERRIBLE to lose your parents and family, and to lose all support and home from your llife, and losing yoru job, and having no money, doesnt helps either.

so, i forgive you.
but only if you're saying the truth. if you lie, shame on you.

as for the 1000$, i would suggest you to (one day) try to repair that old error. not for you, not for me, but to make things right. to keep the clcok-crew running, for a long, long time.
dont you wanna be proud for the cc, again?

i for one, welcome you back with open arms, and i hope that you will find happyness, and love in your life soon.

ps. what was the personal item that you sold, and it made you to lose 1000$? im sorry if i ask, i am just shocked at the ammount of your damage.

be well.

this shattered my heart. why would you kill the messenger tree-clock? esp. if he was your best internet(and maybe best friend EVER, if you think about it :/ oos)

attempt to repair yoru lost friendship again, tree. i think absinthe deserves an apology.
and to restore his faith in the friendship.
Quote from: VuBawlsClock;1952391If only money grew on Tree

also, to: lump-clock, and losperman-cloc;

you guys rock, you are the best people out there, i would be proud to be your friends, and to say your names. you are great people and you should never change.
same applies to everyone that has a bit of heart and soul in them.(absinthe, pop-tart, pat, sattelite, zombie linclock, and many others)

i mean, seriously, pop-tart is willing to pay him back the debt for some flash. pop-tart, if you're reading this, i tell you:

This is before my time but looking at the obvious here. If you were to say sell something on eBay, and it never made it to the buyer. eBay would take it back as a refund if disputed but only the money the person had paid you beforehand. So lets say you DID sell something and it was lost, paypal would've only taken back the money said buyer paid, not everything in your account. UNLESS of course you had already spent that money.

Just sayin.

If there is one think I know it's clinical depression. It's a great motivator to keep you in a shitty job as a worker drone. I made decent money for years right out of high school working at a rug mill that gave good money and didn't require a diploma. Having a hard time finding work and having a hard time finding only work you want to do are two different things.

I don't really have an opinion on the matter since I wasn't around for it to happen, but theft is theft. It was dumb of him to take the money and run off four over five years and it was dumb of the CC to let him keep it all in the first place with all the hard times he kept talking about constantly.

Still, if you can't save up a measly $1k in five years, you got worst problems than worrying about a forum's opinion of you on the internet.

that's a good point. what was the item, that cost you 1000$ in your paypal?

also, there is a possibillity that he(tree) had spent all the money before he got into the debt, and thus, his account got empty.

i dont know. so, we should ask:

an excellent point!

that's the best opinion on the subject that i have seen in this thread. he maybe had already spent all that money, beforehand, so it must be hard to get them back. again, a debt is a debt, it would be good to re-build the trust in the cc, and to pay(the debt) slowly back.

also, it would ensure CC's hosting future, and future endeavours.

Yeah it's totally like Hannibal! TreeClock drugged us and fed our collective face to the dogs in a particularly homoerotic scene and we've been plotting our revenge ever since. Now that we finally caught him we will be feeding him to our specially trained pigs shortly. Hopefully our sycophantic yet resentful manservant [insert applicable clockname here] won't kick us into the pigpen!

Also Gary Oldman has been playing us all this time but I won't notice that until after repeated viewings.

When I read his post it seemed more like "I can't find the work I WANT TO DO!" When you need money it isn't the time to be picky about where the income comes from. Guess he just decided to wait five years until someone on the internet decided to hire him for his skillz.

Makes for a great story. Now he can tell everyone about the years he spent as a starving artist.

That potential value is bullcrap, no one does Clock Crew stuff for money or should because it's all supposed to be for fun and learning flash. Anyway Tree is willing to pay the money back, we can still have fun with it and let it be water under the bridge.

It's entirely plausible that Tree only intends to do the minimum he can so that he can get preserve his reputation and then fuck off again.

Don't be so quick to forgive, don't forget he stole A THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS from charity. If you don't think that the CC could have done ANYTHING with A THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS, then maybe you shouldn't be here?

Great point, something for all of us to remember when approaching this subject, even Tree himself. If he is really sincere it will not be the last donation he will contribute, and I would like to believe he is honestly sincere, but only time will tell. However this is a De-mock-racy so we are trying to be civil about it. We [the staff] will give Tree the benefit of the doubt [despite past crimes] because we don't have a means to enforce debt, but mostly because this is an internet community that thrives on acceptance through harsh means; If a man who has done such wrong can be accepted [gradually] back into our community than it is the ultimate proof that CC = <3. If he flakes then it proves his intent and we move on for good, closing a door that has been left open for years because of young ignorance and apathy. We learn, we let live. Lets get on with the CC and shit.

Don't blow up my words, this is an internet cartoon group that makes cartoons to fuck with thirteen year olds, maybe you should lighten up a bit.

This in so many places sounds ridiculous, you basically just strung together a bunch of conspiracies based on information HE just gave us. Doesn't it sound a little ridiculous to you that he would need to preserve his internet reputation and that it would have any impact on his job hunt? None of us knew what he was up to before he decided to come back, so I really doubt that's it. He could of just walked away with the money and none of us would of been able to do anything about it.

Anyway, I think Tree should just pay the money he owes back and everything can be cool after that. Tree had some fucked up shit happen all at once in his life and I know people in similar circumstances who have also made stupid decisions. I'd like for the group to forgive him.

You don't think that if news of you stealing $1000 from the animation community you ran would be a detriment to employment? I'm not saying that this is definitely Tree's motive, I'm saying that you shouldn't just assume his motives to be pure.

Plenty of people have fucked up shit going on their lives, much worse than Tree, but if should we let them hurt others? No.

Again, I'm not saying we should all hate Tree and assume the worst; I'm just saying we should reserve judgements until he's actually made a sizeable gesture.

Posting to agree with MSPaint.

We are not a charity. That $1000 would probably have bought some tablets and cash prizes, but in no way is that a guarantee of invaluable artistic contributions or activity. If I don't feel like making a movie, a chance at $50 in prize money is not going to entice me to do so. The Clock Crew's drop in activity and productivity has nothing at all to do with not having that money.

If I were TreeClock, I'd be pretty concerned about people associating my professional identity with an outstanding $1000 debt, too. Wanting to look good for potential employers is kind of a big fucking deal if one of the things you're trying to do is make enough money to be able to spare $1000. Impure motive, my ass.

What matters is what happens from now on. Try cooling it until there's another fuck-up. It's not like we still don't know where to find Tree if he disappears from the Clock Crew.

VCR, the problem with what they're trying to say is that none of us would of known what Tree would of been up to if he didn't come back to apologize and tell us what he is up to. What I'm trying to say is that he could of never came back and it could of been left at that, easily.

Quote from: VCRClock;1953757Posting to agree with MSPaint.

We are not a charity. That $1000 would probably have bought some tablets and cash prizes, but in no way is that a guarantee of invaluable artistic contributions or activity. If I don't feel like making a movie, a chance at $50 in prize money is not going to entice me to do so. The Clock Crew's drop in activity and productivity has nothing at all to do with not having that money.

If I were TreeClock, I'd be pretty concerned about people associating my professional identity with an outstanding $1000 debt, too. Wanting to look good for potential employers is kind of a big fucking deal if one of the things you're trying to do is make enough money to be able to spare $1000. Impure motive, my ass.

What matters is what happens from now on. Try cooling it until there's another fuck-up. It's not like we still don't know where to find Tree if he disappears from the Clock Crew.


the reason we started doing prizes in the first place is because it gives people more of a reason to make flash, and put more effort into it. that in turn will generate attention for the clock crew and attract newer members who will produce more flash.  for a long time we were funded almost entirely by lump's donations, while generous, was nowhere near what we could have offered had we had access the money entrusted to tree.  if you were some scrub flash artist and you tried really hard on a clock day flash and won like $500, wouldn't you be so fucking excited to make more?

$500 represents half the money Tree stole/lost, so our first assumption is that we'd even hand out prizes that big.
I'm assuming you're imagining a $500 grand prize. Maybe a chance at $500 would entice some people to compete, though I still think we're largely talking about a userbase that, over the past few years, has been predominantly in college, working full-time jobs, or has been otherwise inclined to spend most of their time on things other than Flash.
The second assumption is that any scrub flash artist could win $500. Money motivates seasoned pros as much as it does amateurs, and everybody saves their best for Clockday. If I had a chance at that money, I might be excited to make more movies, but I'd have to be one of the Clock Crew's best to be in the running, and I'm not. I don't even think I'd make a movie for a chance at $500 today, because I'd rather work a bunch of extra hours for money I was certain of getting than bust my ass on a Flash movie, motivated mostly by money, and then lose.

Way to miss the point entirely. Both you and pop. Jesus christe.

My point is, newgrounds is dead and we aren't the thriving community we used to be. $1000 is a nice incentive but even if we produced something SPECTACULAR not too many people would see it and we'd maybe pick up 2 new members at most if we were lucky.

Hell even the past few clockdays have failed to produce any measurable influx of new members.

ergo, i'm not discrediting animation, but flash just isn't as popular as it was say 10 years ago.

I used to lie to shit when I was a kid, and my six year old lies of saying I've been to Donkey Kong Country turned into seven year old lies of "Theres a donkey kong country show" and my mom was going "No, Jordan, there isn't" "I'VE SEEN IT, I'VE SEEN IT" and then right around the time Fox Family came on, and that fucking show started it's intro, I went screaming and running to get my mom to turn the channel, and she flips the channel and it's the fucking donkey kong country show, and I'm like "HA! I TOLD YOU YOU WASN'T LYING!" and she's like "Jordan...I KNOW WHAT GOES ON TV, I WATCH TV, TOO. THIS IS THE FIRST EPISODE, IT'S A NEW SHOW." and I STILL didn't back down, i was like "NO, NO, THIS IS THE SHOW I'VE BEEN WATCHING ALL ALONG"

okay thats the end of the story

indeed, but back in my days, those crappy 3-D's looked like the best animation ever.

I had two job interviews this week, and have at least two more next week, so things are looking up for me as far as my ability to actually do something about this in a reasonable timeframe, and that is all I care about right now.

Even though there are some people who want to see me actually stick aroundmake Flash etc. I will only be able to think about that once I have another job. Like I said before, I'm not going anywhere, but work is the only thing I can focus on right now.

Quote from: pop-tart;1956111What kind of jobs are you applying for?

Well fortunately, last week I was hired for a job transcribing interviews, business meetings, and those kinds of things. I had coffee with the guy running the business and he immediately wanted me to work with him. It's a small operation now, but he's had freelancers doing everything and he wants one person to take over their current workload so he can stop managing them.

I'm starting on that this week and although it's part-time for the moment, I may end up working on it full-time soon because he's making deals and it's growing quickly.

Until that happens, I'm still applying for as many other jobs as I can find near where I live: food service, retail, stocking the grocery stores/ Target/ IKEA, the Starbucks stores in the hotels nearby, etc. These have been majority of my applications, but I've had far better luck getting interviews in other places.

In a few weeks, I'll be having dinner with a director from an ad agency here. They actually approached me through an ad I placed. I have also been lucky enough to have interviews at five of the eight companies I applied for support positions at; I have second interviews coming up with two of them, I know I didn't get the job at three, and the remaining three either haven't finished looking at the applications or haven't said anything when I've followed up. So nothing definite from those, but at least two that are still open loops.

So, to answer the question: Everything I can find, not turning anything down, but going for as many different kinds of things as I can. Throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. A few things are starting to stick after working at it long enough.

Anyway, just wanted to check in and let you know that things are beginning to work out a bit. Hope you guys have had a good weekend.

I cannot be arsed to read this entire thread and get caught up on where it's at. Tree, I respected the fuck out of you. When I was active on this forum, I was in the latter half of being in high school and you were one of the top dogs here. In my mind, you were involved in pulling some crazy shit that I had no idea about just to keep our asses together. This site ran because of a random group of people that you were a part of.

I'll never have even a prayer of thanking you enough just for that alone. The money thing happened, and to me it was a huge "....fuck. whyyyyy." moment. I felt a massive betrayal, because in my mind at the time, you were flawless. Now I've graduated high school, graduated college, and I technically find myself in the "real world". Life is a fucking bitch. Honestly. I seriously cannot blame you for losing some money tied up in only the Clock Crew. Was it shitty of you to do? Sure. Compared to what real life entails, though? It was trivial. Absolutely, fucking balls to the wall not even notable whatsoever, as important as stubbing your toe. I thank you for being a worthwhile authority figure in a time where I was growing up, fuck everything else. You made mistakes like a human goddamned being. Fuck it.

Guess what, I've never felt sorry for myself, I've never let that shit go unto others.

If he does he is subject to EU laws and I'd gladly write the sue-letter (or whatever you call it in english). Free of charge.

I'm drunk.

I don't think I did a whole lot to keep things together. I just tried to give the community something creative to work on because the community was always looking for something to work on, and because I had a lot going on and needed something to contribute to. Trying to get CCTV2 together (when I had no idea what I was doing) was probably the only thing that kept me going in that first year that I didn't have any family or the home I grew up in to go back to.

And Harmony, don't worry about forgiving me. I'm very appreciative of the people who did, but I'm not asking for it, not entitled to it, and it certainly isn't a prerequisite for anything.

Anyway, another $20 down. A small step, but I didn't want to avoid it just because I think people will give me shit for it being a small step.

Actions speak louder than words.
yeah.
Quote from: TreeClock;1958149And Harmony, don't worry about forgiving me. I'm very appreciative of the people who did, but I'm not asking for it, not entitled to it, and it certainly isn't a prerequisite for anything.

Anyway, another $20 down. A small step, but I didn't want to avoid it just because I think people will give me shit for it being a small step.

Glad your back hope things are well. Oh and yea about the money, it happened between my times here for the grand heist so I can't really be angry so. *slap on the wrist* don't be a thief! It never works out in your favor.
Move on and pay your dues and most people will just pick on you for eternity for what you did instead of hating you. its like emotional herpes when people for get everythigns fine but when they come to the surface and remind you its gonna BURN!

What a fascinating 15 pages of online melodrama. My curiosity has led me to appreciate what is ultimately a modern day tragedy, for which I empathize.

On one end of a computer, behind a clock alias personality, is the sincerely depressed, ashamed and humiliated man stricken with poverty consciousness.
On the other end, an online jury determining justice for a collective $1000 of stolen money donated to an online nonprofit flash animation club.

The entire context is sad, irrelevant of the final verdict or the morals we choose to rationalize our trivialities; Because these are the things we let rule our emotions and entire lives.

Quote from: MightyBooshClock;1967074How do you know that he isn't just fucking with us so we'll be sympathetic?

well, thats my reason right here.
i mean, what if he's lying?! i mean, if he felt bad about it, wouldnt he, umm.. say, give 30 bucks and say ''i will try to help'' a bit more often?
and even if he really means it, why did he left for 3 months?
thats why im doubtfull all the time anout this.

i hope he proves me wrong, and that he will redeem for this
