Hello there everyone, reading this is probably a lot of peoples favorite thing they've seen all day, for others quite the opposite. I'm a polarizing person to a lot of people and I get that, but I'd just like to thank each and everyone of you that made my experience a fun, learning, and great experience.
I joined ZARP all the way back in late July, early August of 2013 and it was the first Garry's Mod server I had ever joined and or played. I played so much on the server and I was completely hooked with the fun things it offered at the time. The best printers were single boosted Nuclears and people had fun with it, I remember one of my first experiences as a new user was trying to apply for Moderator repeatedly, learning to work with my criticisms rather than fight them, and working to try to help the servers.
Soon after I had received Moderator, Chuteuk and EMP both bought ZARP and although I didn't talk to them a lot at the time, I would certainly grow to speak to Chute and EMP a lot and share a lot of learning experiences, but mainly banter and fun times with those guys. Chute and EMP still today are some of my most respected and favorite people I've met in the Community, regardless of my past bans.
I want to thank all of the people over the past 5 years in this Community that I've had the pleasure of working with and having an impact on me, mainly the following people:
Chuteuk: Chute you're probably my best friend in the entire Community, we've known each other since you basically joined the Community back in 2013 and we've shared great banter ever since. I hope we continue to talk frequently, regardless if I'm active in ZARP or not.
Gunnar Anderson, respectively: EMP you're a legend! We all have a shit ton of fun messing with ya while you're offline but you're still a champ for not perm banning any of us for it yet. You've been there with me on and off the CM Bans and like Chute, I've known you since you joined as well. I hope I see you making many more apps on google play and the apple store in a few years!
RedPowder: Funny guy and was a great Owner, resigned due to differences but dealt with it maturely. I always respected you for the way you dealt with the day to day bullshit, best of luck raising your family buddy.
Chris Andrews (Medulla): Chris you were the first Community Manager in ZARP and you were a hell of a lawyer! Even though you were exposed by Chute for using Microsoft Word to find big words to use, I respect you for being one of my favorite CM's ever for the hard work you put in this community, it's been unmatched.
Keith: We talked a lot during the past 3 Community Manager votes, I remember when you won and you were surprised I didn't lol. You're a great guy with a bright future! Quit smoking so much ganja.
Max: Max you've definitely been a great friend and a great staff member. I still remember voting on you and Captin for Mod and Admin back in the day. We've both been there for each other when we needed it, and I really appreciate the work you've put into this Community. I hope we can stay in touch.
Tyler: Tyler you fucking hacker! We've had our spats but who doesn't, you've been a great friend for me and I hope we can continue to be gay to each other over facebook.
Captin: We definitely have our differences when it comes to dealing with rulebreakers but you're a good guy and your heart is in the right place. You and Max have been there for me all the time and have supported me a lot, thanks for all of your help.
Dcxbigdaddy: DCX! Legendary man that lived on top of tesco's for over a year! Definitely one of the best Owner's we've had, thanks for all of your help.
Bane(Gordon Brown: Not many people will remember you but you were a good meme duo with Lazybro and a great super administrator back in the day. Thanks for all of your help.
BaronVonSchnitzelMeister: Thanks for all of the banter and fun times, not sure if you'll read this but hope you're doing all right!
Progenic: You were responsible for probably the most fun I had on the server like a lot of people, you're the owner of the 4th Empire and brought a lot of fun to my experience on the server and plenty of others. Thank you for that.
Getzco: Bitch lol, we'll definitely still talk to each other so calm down
Corgi: Thanks for the fun times and I'll still be talking to both you and Getzco frequently I'm sure. Keep up the great work on SSRP!
Xhantium: Stop poking me lol
I'd also like to state i'm happy I'm leaving this way, this time, and not with another ban. I've learned from my mistakes and I will not let emotions rule my actions like that again. What do I plan to do after this? I want to focus on my personal life and getting to where I want to go. I'm sure I'll come back in 6 months to a years time and check up on everyone.
Why am I resigning you may ask, well, it's been a great, long 5 years and I've been tired out over Gmod partially, it's more than a chore at this point to force myself on to do anything and I'm just not having fun. On the other hand I want to focus on other games, and real life. I have goals and aspirations outside of the Community that I'd like to pursue to ensure I have a great life ahead of me, and I have to let go of this to pick something else up at this point.
