It is with great sadness I have decided to quit LDraw.
LDraw has been my primary hobby for about 15 years and an endless source of joy
and relaxation, combined with intellectual challenges. But in the last few
years, it feels like LDraw has changed while I haven't. Instead of joy and
relaxation, LDraw has caused me anger and frustration. And while my health is
steadily declining, the challenges presented by the changes of the LDraw format
are too great for me to overcome. I haven't even been able to achieve status quo
in my projects; ie had the time to repair all the damage made by the perpetual
changes of the LDraw format standard. So my projects have been going backwards
instead of making progress.
I've come to the point where I am forced to realize that my LDraw projects will
never ever be finished, or even move forward again. Therefor it is pointless to
keep on. Better spend my time on something I have I chance to finalize.
I want to try to remember LDraw for all the countless hours of work made by
hundreds of volontairs from all over the world, the abundance of great LDraw
models from thousands of enthusiastic LDraw users. I will try not to keep the
bitterness of the many times I tried to explain why some changes are such bad
ideas, and the frustration of never been taken seriously. Hope you are also able
to forgive and forget the words I have used in my anger and frustration.
Happy Building and LDrawing,
/Tore
