    I was busy like spamming @KokichiOma and from seeing all of her old comments, and all the old names of people within the community really brought some nostalgia about my past here.

    So, my time here basically started when I became a staff member for the first time on November 30th of 2016. Even though I did play before this obviously I didn't have many friends that I actively talked to / played with, I normally just came on and played the games by myself and sort of "fanboyed" over the staff members at that time. Even though I didn't talk to or personally know any of them, I looked up to them because of what they did within the community in order to make it better for everybody and that alone encouraged me many times to apply for staff. I applied many times starting at the time I was 12 years old and had no real experience, I was immature, and all that jazz so as I'm sure you can imagine all of my applications were terrible and honestly kind of embarrassing somewhat. Eventually after I turned 13 and after 6 failed applications.. I got a response and then like a week later I was a Helper for the first time. I still remember the moment I realized what happened because I was so excited that my awkward antisocial self actually called an old friend on Skype all hyped and happy.

    From this point forward it has been nothing but good times, new friendships, and experiences that to an extent has turned me into who I am today. I'll be honest, I truly miss those days. All of my old friends have moved on from the community for the most part, and overall just moved onto other things and started to focus completely on their real lives which is of course a respectable and normal thing to happen. It's just kind of weird to think about how all of my old friends have moved on, and for some odd reason I'm still here doing what I can even if I'm not as motivated as I used to be but you know what? Even if a lot has changed both for myself and the community as a whole, I love this place and right now at least I just can't leave.

    Now, the community has indeed changed a lot since when I first began to really play and from the time I first became a staff member.. I remember it as a bunch of friend groups hanging out in each server. We had the people on creative who would RP together, build mini games, skin comps, etc. Then we had the people who would play on survival together and build up their little town/cities with their friends and just build whatever they imagined and be happy with it. And of course we can't forget the group of friends who would just hang out in lobbies and talk with each other, this is how it used to be in the old lobby. We could just sit around and talk for a while and if we get tired of that we would all get in teamspeak and play whatever games we wanted and just have a good time.
    Nowadays it seems that most of that has gone, people have moved on, and now sadly the server is just full of "edater drama" as some people might call it.

    Okay, now because it's nearly 3:30 am and I'm getting tired I'll stop my little story time and finish with this;
    All of my old and current friends if you're actually reading all of this I just want you to know that I appreciate your friendship even if we don't talk anymore / as much. You really made my time here enjoyable <3

    also can i just note that I first joined this community at the age of 12 and I'm now 17 like wtf lol

    After reading old comments and such I just felt like writing up a thread about my nostalgia here. Even if I maybe rambled on or whatever it still felt good to sit here write this up, and remember all of my old memories here. Obviously I have many more that I could share, but I don't want to write a book so this is all you get for now. Thanks for reading if you actually read all of this ;d

    I wish i was around during those times. It sounded quite nice but you are correct about the "edater drama". It seems like what quite a bit of people worry about. Its getting annoying. To all those players who dont know what we're talking about be happy about that. and avoid people in the breadcorner fac or voltwave's fac. its something between them and its getting annoying nothing against these great people but its just an ongoing drama between them.
    Anyways i would of loved to be here at J&H then that sounded amazing.
