Original threads get locked or removed on the forums, so I thought I'd put this here.

There comes a time when you're involved with anything and you just have to step back and weigh your options. Last week that happened with MCME and myself, and I chose to leave. There is no need for dragging up every reason but the main one would be me just growing out of the community. There are quite a few people my age on the server but its primarily filled with people that I don't really have a connection with, and those that I do have one with aren't as active as they once were. I've asked Credoo to remove me from the Artist rank as I won't be coming back. There will still be a few days that I come on teamspeak but as far as the main build and freebuild servers are concerned, tis time to move on.

Bubai everyone;

Still low activite due to IRL stuff. I'll be back as soon as I have more free time.

Date Leaving: 29/5/14
Length of Absence (or date you'll be back): 1/6/14
Reason or comments (totally optional): going on a very small city-trip to London!

Date Leaving: 30/5/14
Length of Absence (or date you'll be back): 1/6/14
Reason or comments (totally optional): Visiting Grandparents and i got now internet there. Ill just check the Forum.

Right...so...I've not exactly been active lately, what with school taking up a ridiculous amount of my time and just a general lack of enthusiasm on my part. I suppose I'm primarily making this post as a more formal way of stating my alienation from the server. I've had a lot of good times here (almost three years of them, yikes ) but I feel as though recently there's been a real disconnect between where my head is at, and where the server is. As far as work goes, I've not exactly been the most active member of the community (I think that accolade goes to @SugarKoala or one of the absolutely fantastic build staff), but nonetheless I'd like to think I was still somewhat involved with server shenanigans.
Ultimately all that I want to say here can be boiled down to two things;

1) I love you guys. You've helped me through a lot of the bad times, and made my life a far more enjoyable experience than it would otherwise have been (bear with me, I'm a bit of a sentimental prick ). I can't make a list of all the people I've had the honor of getting to know on here, so I just want to tell you all that I really appreciate your friendship, you're amazing (and sometimes really twisted ) people, and as cliched as it sounds I'll miss interacting with you on the regular basis that I have for the past few years.

2) This is hardly the end. As melodramatic as I've been up until this point, I'd like to think I can still make the time to check in every now and again, see how you fine people are handling things, and just enjoy your company. As for those of you I've gotten to know fairly well, our friendship doesn't stop here (you can't get rid of me that easily ), and no doubt I'll still be talking to y'all on Facebook or Skype or some other shit.

So yeah, goodbye for now...maybe I'll be back in future, who knows. Until then, thanks for being awesome guys and gals
