Hello, I have stepped down as Administrator and I am no longer staff.
The idea of this has been in my head for a long time but recent changes gave me the little push to finally step down. I am now a Youtuber rank on the Server, and Default rank on the forums.

Reasoning behind this is because of how the Staff team and Community has become.

When I met Jerry and Harry on their Teamspeak I was very lucky to have them ask me for my help in their video. After this I helped in almost every video that came out, I always loved making videos so I loved doing it.
So for a channel with around that time 99k subscribers asking me to help in their video was like Christmas morning.

After helping in a lot of videos people started to recognize my name, to make me stand out in the chat and to give me something to do I was promoted to MOD.
I was getting to know Jerry and Harry better playing games with them, helping them with videos etc. Which soon made me become an Admin on the server.
This drew a lot of attention on me with the other staff, they were working their ass off daily to try to get promoted while I was getting promoted every week for appearing in their videos.
I felt really uncomfortable with this I got a rank everyone wants without really wanting or applying for it. I decided to solve this, by working just as hard as they do. I spent full days catching xrayers, moderating chat and other Staff stuff. Just so I could prove to the others that even though I am getting promoted really quick compared to them I am still doing the same amount as work as they do.

I seriously loved what I was doing on the server, I had fun doing it. I also started talking to people from the community more and realized its full of fun people. I was meeting fun and nice people everyday.

We skip a lot of months, and we are now at the time the forums came.
I was really excited when I heard about the forums, I had never really been on a forum from the start and being administrator on it would mean I could see it grow everyday. When the forums started it was a lot of fun, people would upload the little things they made in real life or just interesting or funny threads.
And the best part, BAN APPEALS. I loved doing ban appeals, reading about how their younger brother or sister x-rayed on their account and how it wasn;t them was a lot of fun.

Everything was fun, and went well until my really bad habit kicked in. Slacking off massively.
I do this on here, and in real life. I started to slack off once everything got a little less fun, I started doing less Ban appeals and soon enough they got taken over. I still came on the server daily but just didn;t do as much work on there as I used to. My building career on the server also stopped once a better builder came along, to keep it short I lost all my motivation for doing stuff. All I really wanted to do was help with the videos, since that is and has always been fun. Even though the last months it;s been harder to do, I still enjoy helping in videos for the ItsJerryAndHarry channel. (Also now for JerryVsHarry)

Soon after that new staff got hired, and more staff would be online which would mean less looking at the chat for me and more doing whatever I felt like doing, since any other staff member could also kick the person spamming, cursing or doing something which was not allowed.

Then, the forum flame wars came. A bunch of people would make the biggest problem out of something small creating huge threads full of fights. I realized how the community actually was, the people that I liked so much turned into the people I hate so much. The community was still fun on the server, but I realized that when you put them on a forum it goes wrong. Horribly wrong. This did not help in the process of trying to regain motivation. You can pretty much say the community is forever scarred by a few bad fights, because even mentioning the word drama gets everyone on their toe;s.

Skipping a lot of months again, the server revamp came. I had my motivation back to a 50%.
I had a lot of fun with the new mini games and factions, and around this time the server was growing everyday with a lot of numbers. The problem was I was having so much fun with the Mini games and Factions that I would rather be playing that then do my job as an administrator. Which should not be the mindset of a staff member on a server this big. And with a server this big, more and more staff got hired. A lot more active staff that would do the work I did but then only ten times better and faster.

After this I pretty much did nothing for a long time. I would just play on the server, kick a few people everyday and do my own thing really.

I did nothing for a long time. I started doing stuff a long while back again but not enough.
I did nothing more than 3/8 reports a day and replying to a few PM;s everyday.
The reports I did are the ones we receive when you press the report button. Those reports are not public so no one ever really saw it when people did them. And in this staff team reports seem to be a big thing. So not having your name on at least 3 reports on the ;public; reports would barely be acceptable.

When the entire mod+ thing happened a lot of people started calling me out on why I am still an Admin while I do nothing in their eyes. I got pretty uncomfortable with this, I didn;t even know what was going on and all of the sudden three people attack me and ask me what I do on the server everyday. After catching up with what happened, I still felt really uneasy with it. I realized that I was pretty much not seen as an administrator. When people talk/talked about Admins they talked about Daorack And Willy, not about me. And that is pretty annoying, since I was just as much as an admin as them. I just didn;t make a public agenda or a news post about everything that happened.

I guess people started taking me less serious because I wasn;t acting like it at all.
I was usually spending a lot of time talking to people in the lobby whenever I was online. Making jokes, just having fun really. This didn;t really make me much of an admin, more just someone that goes on the server to chat. And always chatting wasn;t my strongest part either, I ended up insulting a ton of people with the wrong comments at the wrong time, including other staff members.

I also felt excluded from a lot of things that, when I tried getting more included it didn;t really work out.

And with all that stacking up the idea to step down as Admin came up, and with the promotions and new helpers I feel like its the right time to stop being an Admin.
I had a lot of fun at the end, but its just no longer for me. I;d rather have someone who;s work actually affects the server take over my position.
I will still be on the Server and Forums, but no longer as staff.

I had fun as an admin, I have done my goods but mostly my bads.

I know some of you will say : Finally that lazy Admin gone.
While others might say : Ah, that good Admin left.
But I am interested in all of your opinions, so please post them.

I will probably regret creating this thread since I am really bad at these letter kind of things and I have probably forgotten a lot which makes it unclear but .. screw it. I have been working on this for the past two hour I wanna do other stuff. And brain farts are not helping me write this.

See you guys on the server and forums :)
