Hey guys.
Sorry. I am probably going to take down the server. It's been bugging me for a while, but I don't think I can maintain it anymore. I am glad that some of you loved the server and even became staff for it. I'm sorry I couldn't promote you guys to your next rank :/.
The server isn't going down because I don't have money. In fact, thank the donors for making the server last 2 years and gave me enough money to buy more addons/scripts.
Rather, the server is going down because I don't want to do it anymore. Don't have too much time and when I do have free time, I'd rather do something else, like play new/other games, or focus on programming other things.
I'd like to thank everyone who became staff or those who played for a long time. But all servers end at one point. This one will probably end tomorrow.
I feel really bad for those who applied and just got enough +reps like Fox and a few others, or those who have been tmod/mod for a long time and were going to get promoted.
Sorry guys
. But the server will end soon.
Thanks to admins and everyone else for staying for so long. I hope my server taught you guys something. Perhaps responsibility, fairness (?), kindness or whatever
. But this is it. I really hope what I wrote in "how to be a good tmod/staff" will influence you guys to be good staff on other servers, or kind people in life.
You can remove me on Steam if you'd like, since I won't be an owner anymore. Or you can keep me as a friend and we can talk a bit.
In short, server is going down. Sorry, but I feel this is the best way. The server has been declining. I know this because people don't play as much anymore. It was because I have been inactive way too long and I'm not sure how to get back into maintaining the server.
When I first became owner, I was the only staff so I stayed on my server for a very long time to make sure people didn't get rdmed and stuff. Soon, I got more people playing and staff members. Then the server became one of the highest rated/ranked servers (top 450) last summer. This was the time I really liked playing gmod and liked building/improving the server.
It seems like I have changed over the year, from the pressure of tests and school. Now, I'm lost on what I should do with this server. I don't think it will ever be as good as it once would. I'm sure this is because I'm not on to promote/do what owners should do. I feel like I became a bad owner this past year because I have been out for a long time. People used to praise how great an owner I was, since I was on a lot and was kind. But I don't think I can be on a lot anymore. That's why I'm closing the server.
My old server that I loved ended so I wanted to make a server just like it, but better. I feel like I accomplished this goal last year. I don't want you guys to feel the same way I felt when that old server shut down. Some of you might want to start your own servers to replicate this one. That's fine. But being an owner is tough.
I hope you all well. If you got problems, you can still talk to me. I just won't be the owner of a Garry's mod server anymore. But that doesn't mean I won't be your friend anymore. We can still play other games, etc.
It was a great experience for me to be an owner and to see my server sky rocket in popularity. It pains me that I had to witness it downfall and I have to end it even though some people love it.
Thanks & sorry,
Backstab.
P.S
Thanks Meez for being the first player on the server. I won't forget you for just joining my server and then becoming an admin. But meez isn't the only one I want to thank. Special thanks to Tuk for being a noob, and Jam for being 2 c00l.
But, I want to thank you all for staying with me
.
It's been fun.
Good bye server.
