Just wanted to post in here and say hi! I looked back at my groups and looked back at all the comments and messages. I never realized how much you guys loved this server, despite it's short run. It's been a long time and I hope you all are doing well! Ever since I shut down the server, I went through a lot in life. I thought I'd talk to y'all on why I shut it down so suddenly.

I was in college during that time when running the server. Unfortunately, I was focused more on playing video games far more than my studies. I hit rock bottom and ended up failing most of my classes, and went through a mental breakdown. My parents came to get me and I dropped out of college.

Over the years, I had ween myself off my video game addiction and over time started to work on myself and my career. Currently now, I'm doing great. College was a good thing to pursue, but wasn't necessary for me.

I was able to move into the IT field with a lot of what I've known with computers and whatnot (and even running this server had helped a bunch for experience surprisingly). But yeah, I'm doing great now. I live on my own, I got my own place, I'm doing well in my career and currently work in VOIP IT for a healthcare company.

So yeah, that's a short summary of what's been going on with my life. If you ever want to see what I'm doing lately, my twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AzureusBat

I've also been streaming for a few years now. I got a small, yet fun community. If you ever want to swing by, I stream here Tuesdays and Thursdays: https://www.twitch.tv/azure_bat

I'd love to hear how everyone's been and where you all are at in life. It was a fun (sadly short) time with you all and I know you all really enjoyed your time in the server. If you ever want to say hi, just hit me up on discord. Feel free to add azurebat if you want to stay in touch!

I'm sorry to bring bad news, but the server will be shutting down. I have a lot of problems to deal with in my life. I dropped out of college, seeing a counselor, and working on getting my life back together. I'm quite sad that I have to take it down since I spent countless hours on making this server awesome. If things get straightened out, I will make sure to bring this server back. Thank you for supporting this server everyone. I had no idea this server would be popular and I'm glad I managed to make something awesome. Thank you to my donators as well. You guys helped me keep enough money to get through college. Although this server won't be listed anymore, this isn't goodbye.

Thanks everyone and wish me luck.

I have been going through a lot of problems lately that desperately need to fix. There is a possibility the server could get shut down. If will post a notice if it is the case. Those whom have donated this month will recieve a refund if I decide to shut down the server. Hopefully when I get everything fixed, I can get the server up and running again. This is not a for sure thing, but I'm letting everyone know so it isn't a misunderstanding.

Sorry and wish me luck,

Azure

Hello everyone! I just wanted to put out an announcement for donation goals. For me being a college student, money is hard to come by. I need donations to make sure this server stays active. This helps me out and also makes the server grow.

This month I am hoping to reach around $35. Sordie is a current donator, so we already have $5. I appreciate the support guys!

TL;DR: Hoping to get $35 by end of month. I'm poor as ♥♥♥♥.
