Thanks for the kind words everyone, it all means a lot

Hey y’all I’ve never been one for extremely long posts, so I’ll try to keep this one down. I’m sure many of you saw this coming, and an equal amount thought this day would literally never come – but some good things must come to an end. A bit of a background on me: I joined the community in early 2009, solely so I could wear the «SG.Reg» tag – and this was the extent of my involvement here. It wasn’t until 2011 when I just happened to hop upon the forums again, and see a new wave of admins being promoted, along with other changes to the community, that I started to be active across all platforms. I’m not sure what sparked in my head that day, but just seeing those promotions and how the community was run created a drive in me to become a bigger part of it. This drive brought me from SA, to CE, then to AO relatively quickly in 2013, where I spent 3 full years before being promoted to BD in 2016, where I’d have almost spent 2 years. Back in the day I’d spend hours upon hours per day working on this place, both on the servers I managed and with the people I worked with. Throughout my time here I’ve managed probably upwards a dozen and a half different servers, and I can’t even begin to explain how much time and effort went into those (or the amount of surf maps I’ve zoned over the years. Literally hundreds upon hundreds), and have days worth of playtime in the servers alone. I’d spend countless summer nights up until 5AM in TS, with fellow admins/friends, just talking about the servers and how to improve the community. I’ve seen hundreds of admins come and go, ranging from SAs to BDs, and from strangers to best friends. And I’ve seen/been a part of almost every major change that has occurred here dating back to 2011 – whether it’s the 2012 forum hacking and deletion, the eventual move from CSS to CSGO, or the domain and ownership change – I’ve seen and likely played some form of role in all of them. The point that I’m trying to illustrate here is just how important this community was to me – and still is – and why that’s a part of my reason for stepping down. The main reason of which – the drive that I mentioned a few paragraphs up - simply is no longer there. Being in my 3rd year of college, with my entire life ahead of me, I just can’t see continuing as a dedicated higher up here as being a part of that. This place will always be in need of having dedicated staff members who have a true passion for improving this place, and that are actively and publically involved in the community. I don’t have the same passion for CSGO and improving SG that I used to have, and it wouldn’t be right for me to essentially be a placeholder at this rank for any longer. I’m more than happy to say that I’m ready to pass the torch on to whoever can fill this role in the future. I could do personal shout outs and messages here, but I’d be sitting here typing this for over a week straight, and I’d go far over the character limit. I’ve gotten to know so many of you so well, and so many of you have meant so much to me in one way or another, more than words can explain. Rather, I’d just like to give a quick thanks to the BD/TA/AO team – both of the present and in the past – everyone who I have had the pleasure of working with dating back to 2013. You have all put so much work into this place, and it’s been great to work with all of you, and for that I’ll always be appreciative. I’ve made countless friends from my role here, and I will always be appreciative for those as well. Currently, we have such a great staff filled with wonderful people, and I know that they will lead this place right back into the spot of being the top gaming community out there. I won’t be disappearing completely (at least moreso than I already am xd) – I’ll still be around on steam and on the forums as usual. I’d just like to end just by saying thank you again – to all the mems, regs, subs, VIPs, HGs, SAs, LGs, CAs, AOs, TAs, Liam Brown, BDs – everyone. You all make this such an amazing place not only to play games, but to hang out with friends and have a good time. It’s all of your dedication that keeps this place running as smoothly as it does, and turns it into something more than just a gaming community, and that is something I hope to never see change.

:okay:

:okay:

TTT is such a situational server to admin, which is why we have never implemented something like this and likely never will. In almost all cases, we would prefer admins to handle situations with their best discretion rather than having an automated system with plenty of room for error.

One day it shall! congrats on the job buddy

Congrats both of you!

Good to have you back =)

Looks like a server restart fixed it, everything seemed back to normal.

Congrats guys =)

The surf settings haven't been changed since the server's inception, just tried playing it now and asked around a bit and everything seemed normal. Want to try it again and see if it's still giving you issues? @spikes252

Shameless

Congrats everyone, all well deserved! @Prez

It's great to see you and Suri so happy together, and I wish you both the best of luck with everything - you guys deserve it more than anyone. @Prez, our scars from Rocket League shall never fade away :>
