It's quite strange to be writing here again, years after a time where almost every day I'd log in and check, here, a place that helped shape the kind of person I am today. Admittedly I was a lot cringier back then, even though this post I'll deem cringy give it enough time.
I'm not sure why I'm posting this, to who will find it, if I even bother to check, but seeing the old layout, while not the OLDOLD layout, while all those horrible looking 'Smilies', custom signatures, profile pics and other small nit picky things that I'll leave out, something just made me want to post, perhaps one last time. "
" title="Very Happy"> " A lot of things have certainly changed since then, and while it sounds oh so cliché but things are certainly a lot different, from times that were simpler. A lot of what has happened on McTopia over the years has molded me as a person, taught me to be more responsible for myself and others, but not to be a total hard-ass. Taught me that the more effort you put in, the more you get out, which was interesting, as the golden age of McTopia was a time where I devoting most of my time to the server, and it was also the time where I was enjoying it the most. I can't say I could stay on the server a few months ago for more than thirty minutes before having to log myself out again, after all, that'd be a lie. Perhaps it was the direction the game itself was taking, the different people now populating the server, or the lack of the old goldies.
Minecraft was my guilty pleasure at the server's peak. As I'm sure most people here know, it's rather embarrassing what societies' view on the game has become, 12 year olds screaming and playing PvP. While it felt different, perhaps it wasn't? Either way it was certainly more that whatever Hungergames-Hybrid kids and cringey minecraft users constantly play now, which can be reflected in the new PvP-centric update for the game coming out soon, which I ironically only was looking at with a friend as a joke less than two days ago. Life's own foreshadowing I suppose.
I made a bunch of friendships on here, made a bunch of enemies, lost friends too. Made some amazing creations, regretted some stupid decisions, but over-all I enjoyed myself. While being a twelve year old made me hyper-sensitive to the drama that seemed to be constantly bubbling on this server (Haha what do you expect when you cram a community of all different thoughts, opinions, races and cultures into one little connection), I certainly had fun. I was never really hurt, even though I surprisingly lost some Irl friends over disputes on this server.
Would I relive it all again? Perhaps. I don't think I can really answer that question, given what I know about the game now, and the current stigma that while I am self-aware of, still affects me. I wanted to say thank-you, however, to all the people that populated this place during the time, even though the majority of the ones I cared about won't see this.
And to Alex, thank you so much for making all of this. I know at time we all probably were a bit too much to handle, which would explain the absences at some times, among other things, but really it changed a lot of people's lives, and you've got to take credit for it and walk with pride in each step, no matter how cringey all of this may be to an outsider's perspective. Thank you.
Thanks to all. It was a great run.

The circlejerk of Minecraft is what ruined our fun, however for the times we had, I wouldn't have changed it. Cheers for it all Draz.

It was a great run!
And, I'm not going to type something long and heartfelt and tearjerking, because you and I still do a decent job of keeping in contact. But really, how could we not? For five years, you've been my right hand man. My partner in crime. My everything, and there's not much you (or anyone) can do to erase that.
So even though I'm sad to see the server go, the memories you and I have made are the ones I cherish and won't ever forget. I love you!

Perhaps I'll put in the time to say goodbye to specific people, however I'm terrified I'll forget someone, but I can guarantee you'll be on there Tobester, haha. Love you too, you quirky Americano.

No, I think you're right, this is an experience most will never be able to have, and I'm glad I had it.
