Another Stepping Down Thread

[All Ts]

This might come as a surprise for some of you, for others you may have seen it coming. As of today I'm stepping down.

 

I'm not going to give full explanation as to why, but if you're curious feel free to approach myself or others privately. Reasons ranges from losing passion, not agreeing with the direction the community is heading since my return, and feeling like my time here has really met some kind of a new chapter. I won't be disappearing never to be seen again, but my time here will definitely take a large hit. I love this community from the bottom of my heart. From helping me through a tough childhood, to giving me some of the best friends I've had, awesome laughs on the servers, some little Asian boy who I love, I could go on forever. The reason why I always put so much loyalty, work, and time into this place is because I really wanted to pay it forward to help the next All Ts that came along. Besides the fact that it's amazingly fun it's largely why I've always loved Prison Break so much. Just to throw some love to that server, it's players, you guys are truly fucking awesome. The community that server has had over the past 2 years is truly a blessing because no other people would make that servers confusing ruleset & tiny map rotation work so perfectly. It's some of the best times I've had playing games in general, so sincerely from the managers, ex-managers, admins and most importantly players- thank you so much.

 

The higher staff (especially the TA's) at this community deserve your utmost respect because no matter what you think they try really fucking hard to make this place somewhere you guys love, somewhere that makes everyone happy. The lower staff the SA's, CA's, you guys are extremely important- without you this place would not run properly whatsoever. Everything from the time you invest, the bullshit you deal with, the ideas that get the gears turning and the pure love for this place is amazing. I know many of you current admins & higher have had to go through my gate keeping on applications- just know nothing said ever was personal. I don't see enough praise given to @Caution when some of these step down threads get made. This guy is a dick, but he's dumped a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this place. So many rumors and genuine hatred fall on this one guy who people couldn't be bothered to talk to even to confirm any of it. Never would I have expected you being someone I got along with well when I got back from my ban. I really wanna thank you for having my back, giving me the chance to help, and trucking forwards for this place time and time again. You have my respect for all the shit you deal with daily, and I wish you the best in your cone waving adventures.

 

This is the part where I mention a few people and say some gay shit.

 

@Dominic it would be wrong for me to not tag you here, you were the first person I talked to back at SG cause you reminded me of myself. Hearing clips of what you sounded like 1-2 years ago was surprising to me, and I think you've really started to mature in a great way. We had our ups and downs, but I consider you a good friend.

 

@eXtr3m3 You're like a brother to me and you know that no matter what happens I'll always appreciate what you've done for me. I'm really glad someone like you came along to show me a way different then my own, it was refreshing and I couldn't thank you enough for all of the things you've done for me.

 

@Nimmy I never expected you to be such a great friend of mine when we first began talking but I definitely saw something great in you. You're a genuinely good hearted kid, and even if you've stepped down I want you to know you've made my time here so much more enjoyable.

 

@delirium Watching you step down made me realize that your value at SG went way beyond what I saw on the surface. You really care about this place, and that's something I think I always didn't appreciate fully out of you. Even though you have a way of being rude, or downright overtly argumentative I really think behind it all you're a great guy. I'm really glad I got to be apart of your journey. If you want that deep, mean, analysis of you from me message me on Steam- otherwise fuck you, cunt.

 

@Reece I'm super proud of you. Seeing you come from a beginner in SG, to understanding so much, so fast was extremely impressive to me. There have been times where I've doubted you, and you have continuously proved me wrong. Your work ethic is genuinely great, you're an awesome kid, and I hope to continue being great friends.

 

@Luke I really appreciate the faith, loyalty, and criticism you have given me in my time here. You're a great person, don't sell yourself short on that. I honestly attribute my insane passion to people like you believing in me every step of the way, giving me constructive criticism when you felt I had stepped in the wrong direction. Stunning and you were such a breath of fresh air when I came back.

 

@Roux similarly with Luke, thank you for being so faithful in me. Your encouragement and generally friendly attitude kept me feeling positive towards the community, seeing that despite things here or there it was still great. Playing with you has been nothing less of a joy and hope we can continue to do so.

 

@Crawfish I don't know how you feel about me personally anymore but I really was surprised with how much you took off after your start. I wish things ended differently for you here, there were many people who I wanted to share a seat with at the big boys table and you were among that group. I haven't seen you around much, but there were many times where discussions with you would make me feel better and give me clarity. All of your work at SG and personal help aside you've gained my respect.

 

@Post You aren't just a memer. In your time here I really saw a side of you I don't think others saw, you did a lot for portion of SG that makes it a community. You've given so many people happiness on otherwise shitty days, and the amount of times you've helped me out is not something I have ever taken lightly.

 

@Snowy Thank you for being the definition of a truly loyal, good hearted friend. You are someone I admire greatly for being open-minded and just insanely hilarious. Your return to this community was a blessing, and I appreciate you giving me a chance when others would tell you otherwise.

 

@Malibu We had our little problems at the start but I really hope for your best. You can come off like a clown sometimes, so I can forget you're a person with feelings. The truth is a lot of happiness, laughter and good times stem from your goofy ass- so thank you.

 

@Ryoku you're a fucking faggot. Thank you for all the laughs you've given me every single time we speak, sometimes you're a fucking douche but all the same I consider you a good friend.

 

@Tsuna @Evil You old fucks are some great people, and I miss you guys- come back around if only for 30 minutes.

 

@Prez You were one of the VP’s I really felt a good connection with. Thank you for being chill most of the time. I really respect the fact that you give a shit and go out of your way for this place. In the 3 VP’s in my time here, you are definitely my favorite. I’m happy I got to work with you while I had the chance to.

 

@euro likes long names Last but not least. I don't wanna embarrass you, but you know how much you've changed my life.

 

I could sit here all day writing out how much this community has meant to me, how much the people here mean to me, but you guys already know who you are. So many unique personalities, awesome people, and Believe me when I tell you that every ounce of makes you all great I have not let go unnoticed.

 

I know many people, even recently have been turned off to me as a person due to my bluntness and I truly am sorry because at the end of the day my intentions have always been in the best interest of the community. There are others in the past who after being downright spiteful towards me, I never really accepted apologies and moved on properly. I’ll take this opportunity to say I’m willing to start fresh and get over past bullshit. I’d also like to say I am sorry for the instances, especially when I first joined the community where my “bluntness” was just me being a cunt for no good reason except just being angry at a transitional stage in life. When I came back I had to fight through a lot of bullshit stigmatization, bias, and witch hunting which honestly made my time here far more miserable. Almost to the point where I didn't just step down, but wanted to leave. This isn't to hold anyone in the current staff to gunpoint (actually the complete opposite) cause there were plenty of them who had my back and saw situations for what they were. I want to thank those people for all of the help, the advice, and more or less keeping me from being permabanned again. The chance you guys gave me to help I hope didn't go without feeling fulfilled at the end of it all.

thanks for being on my cock for the past 6 months babe

 

 

things will definitely not be the same with you around and having you running the Area=pi*r^2 /s. I will support you no matter what.

 

[Brando]

Thanks for everything you’ve done bro I’m gonna miss you

[Cept For Her]

Sad to hear that youre stepping down as you were a great part of this community. Hopefully we can still see you around as often as we usually do, and you stay active with the community. Thanks for everything youve done, and go finish that next chapter of your life so you can tell us all about it

[roux]

Love you "huge faggot"

 

Will miss your ass

[snowy]

Man i’ve always enjoyed your company and im glad you’ve always enjoyed mine, You are a great loyal person and honestly don’t have any words to describe how much you actually mean to me as a friend especially since you’ve been there for me on the lows and on the highs (No fucking homo) You’re a great guy and seeing you step down after all that hard work and dedication does kinda make me feeeeeeel sad and i mean really sad but im proud of you All Ts. And i really appreciate everything you’ve done for this community.

[Reece]

Honestly sitting here typing this, I'm going to say that a tear is running down my face. You've brought me into this community, and I never thought I'd ever see the day where I would be watching you walk out. You've been nothing short of a great friend to me, and you've become one of the greatest things that has come out of me putting so much time and effort into this community. Everything I would do, I would tell myself that you would be proud of me. And I'm glad to hear that everything wasn't unnoticed.

 

Aside from SG, you've been genuine and caring where others wouldn't have been. The countless times I've come to you with advice, you gave me your two cents and you've helped me. I don't know if I would be where I am without you. It's crazy to think that not even a year ago, I didn't know you existed and now I'm sitting here hoping that you're really not gone. I'll never forget the jokes we've shared or the life lessons you've taught me. You might only be a year older than me, but you've taught me ways to get through life, and to pick myself back up when I'm down. Even though you're an ass sometimes, and I want to beat you up, one of my favorite things in this community has had to be you. I can't imagine anyone else here that I would call my best friend; but, more importantly, I can't imagine anyone else that I would call my brother.

 

I can write this hundreds of times, but I don't think I'll ever get the right words. There's a lot more I could say but I think you can take the words out of my mouth, just like you always do. I guess this is goodbye. Love you broski. No homo.

Rip a legend. Thanks for helping the community in so many ways. You were one of the best sg admins that ever lived. Hope to still see you around the servers. Even though I just added you on steam like 3 days ago I'm still gonna miss you. Good luck on what ever you do next...

From the first post that I ever posted and got deleted for not having enough context (honest mistake) and how you confronted me later on that day on TTT, I realized how mature you were about handling the situation. This past month alone, I've seen you on jb almost every time I've joined. The amount of time you've put into baby sitting both the JB servers and forums is something that I personally want to thank you for as its no easy task. Just by the way you handle situations and how you've taken the time to personally message me regarding a separate matter, showed me how much passion you truly have for the servers. It's a shame I never really got to know you on a personal level, but I just want to thank you for how mature you've been on monitoring forum rules.

 

Take it easy and I hope you find happiness in whatever you do in the future

[Chloe Gallagher]

Don't stop being you @All Ts. You proved pretty much everyone wrong here and became one of the most memorable members here for all the right reasons.

 

I'll likely message you sometime this weekend as I'm curious to learn more.

 

I'm sure I'll see you around here. If not, good luck in life!
