What Have I learned?
Wow, it's absolutely astounding I've been in ZARP for three years now. To break that down into numbers:
9.46707779e10 Milleseconds
94670777.9 Seconds
26297 Hours
1095 Days
When I first joined, I wasn't at all what I'm currently like. I was immature, rude, and created a lot of drama. I was punished and served a Community Ban, after this I returned in a new light and within that time there was a lot of self improvement involved.
I learned how to treat people with respect, how to put myself in other peoples shoes and be more open minded. At the end of the day I learned how to conduct myself properly around others in the community.
I've learnt so much when it comes to people, how to treat others, be friendly, kind, and spread peace, love and positivity every single day. I learned how to get up when I was pushed down, how to set goals and achieve them, how to even gain trust and build relationships with others.
When I first joined a ZARP server I never expected to get on the ride I've been enduring and will continue to ride for years to come here at ZARP. It's so much
more than a server or game, it's a community and a
hell of a great one.
Thoughts
Thank you all so much for the great community we've all built up from the ground. It wasn't me, it wasn't Billy next door, it was all of us that contribute into the Community everyday that make it what it is and it truly is such a great place to meet others and have loads of fun.
I've spent three years here, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I've seen this Community Start with Corrupt members of staff in place back in the day three years ago in ZARP bloc_42 and it's blossomed into a thriving community with a plethora of great people and content.
I will and hope to see ZARP grow even further and improve servers and future ones, and I hope you all join along with me in the journey! Thanks so much.
Thank You's

EMP - The big G.A how could I forget you bud. You're really hard to describe because at times you can be the most serious guy then at some times you'll do the funniest stuff, but thanks for all of your help over the years as I know your decisions and votes are a big reason of where I'm at today. You're a great guy, and a great owner.

The COMMUNITY!
Thank you all for these past three years, I could keep going on all day about each and everyone of you that go out on the servers, play, staff the servers, help out on a day to day basis, contribute to the community, and everything else under the sun but I feel this is the best way. Thank you all so much for doing what you do, together we all contribute and make ZARP what it is. We need to be weary about this however, keep contributing, keep posting, keep playing, keep staffing and we'll continue to grow as a community. You all are so individual and unique and it's what I love about ZARP, YOU!. If you're reading this thank you so much for all of your help, I hope I've managed to touch your life or experience in a way and make yours that much better. I'll continue to help as always,and continue to staff. Thank you all for the greatest years of my life.
