    Writing this spontaneously, I hope it doesn't get cheesy or cringy.
    This is an open letter for the community in general.

    Simply put, I've been quite absent this past months, I've tried several times to step up my activity and become what I once was, which was a fully dedicated individual, to the server and everyone's well being, on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this part of me and image has been dying out.

    I'm sorry if this text has any sort of errors, I'll try my best to avoid that.

    A lot of things have changed in my life and I've become, out of my control, too busy. Friends, family, relationships, work, personal projects and university have all taken its share on it. I've always had a hard time managing my own time, but now more than never, it has impacted the way I work and function here on the server.

    I do want to go back, and some people really know the passion I have for this place. I've put my heart and guts on this place, defended it countless times, put countless hours on it and I've never even imagined my journey's ending not being the server's end itself. I still do want to put all of this into practice.

    Things are not bad, fortunately we have a very good admin team who has picked up the burden I've been leaving behind for the past months, and things still do function and go smoothly. Yet, I still have this sense of responsability to come back and do what I do well.

    So, I am not resigning.... yet. This is how I want to proceed. I'll give myself a little bit more of time to see if I can finally execute this wish according to plan, if I can do what I've done best for this place. If I can't fix this and I'm still to be found in this state of ''Limbo'' where I hold such a great position here but don't execute my tasks, I will proceed with my resignation. Simple as that.

    I do want to publicly apologize to the whole server for not giving my 100%, I wish I could find the strength, motivation and time to do so. I will try my best to be as present as I once was.

    I also want to publcily apologize to the whole Staff Team which has seen me as a sort of shadow that hangs above them, silent and still. I do want to fix that and I want you to have the greatest experience here ever. I want you to remember this place and your fellow staff members as an unique experience that you had during your aging and personal growth. I want you to learn something from this and not just ''be a staff member''. This is a good experience for someone to grow personal aspects on. I want you to aim and reach higher, and I still do want to be the one to show you that path and help you. If I can't, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not doing this for the past months, at least not as much as I would have wished. I will try my best.

    As for the Admin team, I can only thank you. Specially @NESlover and @Xenon for never giving up and being constant reminders of planning should be respected. @Ezzerland is still learning but on a great path, and will do very good job. And most of all, @ItsHarry and @ItsJerry for just being there for the past years and believing in me through all of them. Without them, I wouldn't be here at all. I've learned so much and grown so much that the people that I need to thank, are these two for sure.

    Then again, I hope I can do this. If I can't, this is a public reassurance of what will happen. I expect to hit a few bumps on this try, but I hope to still be able to stand on my feet and keep moving forward towards my goal. If I can't, it was the greastest of honours to serve here.

    I don't know what else to write here, so I'll just end it right here. Thank you for reading if you made it here.

    Where do I begin here, well you've busy I know that we often speak on Skype and I can fully understand it. But you retiring? nNo you're not allowed too, you've been a role model for me for such a while and still is funny enough. I hope everything goes well, making you able to stick around and helping the staff team as you've surely been a role model for more people than just me. You care for your staff so much, for example if there's someone on our asses, you clear it up as you don't allow people harassing us, like a family and I can surely say you're like our big brother, keeping us safe.

    Cringy post I know don't need to tell me more, just like to say my thoughts.

    Come on now Willy, we all have in real life issues which can take over our actions and activity, seeing your acts for all these years I can easily say you will choose the right choice of resigning or not.

    I know I have posted this on skype, I want the community to hear this.

    I respect you a lot, and I hope that everything works out perfectly for you.
    Even though I was only staff for like 6 months(?) I still enjoyed every moment of it, thanks for that btw.

    I'm sure we can all understand and appreciate whatever decision you make, even if we don't want you to go.
    Even though we never really talk, I still consider you my friend and I wish you the best of luck.

    Just take your time with things and try not to stress out about the server.
    I have been staff for a year and 4 months and I have honestly enjoyed it so much, and I have to thank you for that as well. You have helped me with even personal issues, which I wouldn't of expected but you came to me. What you're doing is great and I'm truly thankful for everything you have done for me.

    Keep it up man.

    Willy, in the short time I've known you and even shorter periods we talked, I could tell you were a great guy.
    The day you first even mentioned my name I was in shock, thinking "Why?". It had been my dream to become helper, and since 2013 it was something I always wanted but knew I would probably never get. I had my phases of retaliation against the staff team, tryharding, and finally acceptance that this is just it. But you brought back my faith when you told me to apply, and the day I got a response on my app, lets just say that made my christmas 100x better. You made my dream come true, even if it seems like a stupid dream. "Hur hur his dream is staff on a minecraft server hah loser!".
    This community has just been a great place to be, which is why it was my dream to get staff.
    I always knew you were busy with life which is why I never thought less of you for inactivity or anything.
    You're honestly an amazing person and a really funny one too, someone who can joke and take a joke. That's the kind of Co-Owner/Owner I admire.
    Someone with personality, who isn't just a robot.


    Thank You, truly, for everything you've done. For the server and me.

    Man, I really don't know how to respond to this. I totally understand this since from January to May, I faced a similar situation. I have gotten back into it now. This does not mean that the frustrations with somethings that have happened will be forgotten. Just like you put forward your faith in me many times despite everyone else saying no, I am going to put my faith into you (disregard the rumblings from around here) and still believe you can lead us to better things. Everyone should because then why are you here? We are all here for the community/server or else we would be doing something better with our time. So everyone should be rooting for its success, which starts with you.

    I don't have much to say but I just want to say thanks. I know you play a part in recruiting the new staff members so I just want to say thanks for giving myself and others the opportunity to help this community out. I am so..so grateful. I've learned so much during my time as staff and I wouldn't be the person who I am today, same with others. All because of you.

    Whatever happens, I'm behind you Willy. You've been through hell and I really know you love this community as much as anyone, and more than most. I know for sure the decision to create this thread and admit what's been happening was really hard to do, so you've really gained my respect if you haven't already. Best wishes, and best of luck. You'll make the right decision, I know for sure.

    if you leave... plz we already had an admin resign we don't need a co-owner resigning our server is too young.

    had to get that out.

    Now I gotta be serious, this is the fcking Co-Owner we're talking about.

    I absolutely love to see the new Staff Team grow into an entire community, and you know why? The Staff Team has absolutely outstanding recruits, and I couldn't imagine any better members. Why? Because a certain someone guess who? recruited them.

    Additionally, you make the server enjoyable. We understand you're inactive, in everyone's life, they have this Perspective. It's your choice if you choose to leave, or stay. Everyone, staff or not, ranked or not, will respect your choice, no matter what. You've really gained my respect, and the server really wouldn't be the same without the amazing Co-Owner we have now.

    I really don't have anything else to say, other than good luck on your journey. This server might be behind you in the future, if you have anything else to deal with, but remember this: The whole server respected you and looked up to you, like a leader.

    It's really sad to see how you might be leaving in the future, and we, the community, all know for sure, you will make the right decision on your journey.

    All I can say is that I'm thankful for the opportunity of letting me be on the team and helping me grow more as a person. You've made many great choices with building this team and helping the server. I'm glad that I got to know you and I'm more glad I got to call you friend. Bearing the thought of you potentially leaving in the future is heart breaking and it'd be a pain to see you go after all these years. Just know you'll always have love from the community and we will always support you.

    I remember when you got that Co-Owner rank, you just asking and asking Jerry and Harry for it on TS until they finally gave it to you. And while im not sure thats the most conventional way to obtain a rank, I think it was a smart move on their part. You have done a lot for the server and hope you will continue for a little while longer. Seriously though, thanks for the opportunity you gave me, I still think you might have mistaken me for someone else but you gave me Helper and Mod nonetheless. So again I just wanted to say thank you.

    Willy, you've done nothing but good for this community. You've helped it grow and you have been the best in being friendly and kind to others. It sucks what's going on, and I sincerely hope it gets better so you can return. I want to say, resigning or not, thank you for what you've said about the staff team. Thanks for believing in us and it really means a lot how much potential you see. I can safely say you're a good friend to us all and if you need to vent, we are here for you. Take your life into consideration before the server, that's how it should be for us all.

    I admit, it wasn't easy reading that because the community has been through a lot and you helped it through.

    Good luck with your plate and you can always take time off instead of resigning.
