Update 20 January 2005: Skyclad1uhm1 resurfaced and posted the following in
this thread:
"I got more and more depressed by reading in the news what humans were doing to eachother, and concluded that if I would keep feeding my hunger for news I would indeed get depressed to the level where I most likely would take the final step. I then decided for a while to stop reading any news for a while, including all the sites like ATOT on which news gets posted.
A few people from the RtCW clan I used to be in (and still am in, considering we never disbanded it) mentioned some ATOTers contacting them, so I decided to post on here. Just didn't get around to it until now.
My apologies for getting people worried, at the moment depression is not so bad that I'll be considering suicide as a way out. But I'm still careful with how much and what kind of news I read."

Update 2: "lol, basically, I haven't given an update because I haven't done anything with the ball. I got busy with school, so I basically forgot about it until I saw the thread bumped a few days ago. When something does happen to it, I'll post a real update."
