Resignation

"HunteR_" at Fri, May 14, 2010 23:56 - PDT

 

To the community,
As you may know, there have been some extremely damaging rumors of me floating around lately, the result of a long-term hacking of machines under my posession. Over a period of time, certain community members obtained login information and used these to install keyloggers, trojans and more - which they used to do further damage. Whilst I will be pursuing all relevant legal avenues to bring these people to justice, things have obviously gotten out of hand.
The community response has been all that you could expect from a scenario like this. To sum it up? They want my head on a platter; they want my head on a platter garnished with some really expensive salad. At the end of the day, in the eyes of the general public, I can entirely understand this. Before I go any further, I would like to apologize though for any harm, damage or undue stress caused in the days since these events unfolded - to my friends, our business partners and sponsors, and most of all, to the community as a whole. I'm sorry that certain individuals felt it necessary to perpetrate these acts, then drag the community in to it for their own amusement.
In response to all of this, after speaking with my team, business partners and sponsors, I have decided that the best course of action will be to step down as CEO of eSports Media (Honcast, e.t.c) effective immediately, with a replacement to be named shortly. I ask that you please leave your anger directed towards me, justified or not, and I'm confident the team at honcast/eSM will be doing just fine in my absense: providing you with a quality service in the field of eSports.
Regards,
HunteR_
