I really don't believe people give you the credit that you deserve for running the servers for this long, thank you for running the servers for as long as you did Byte. Unfortunately I didn't come across the servers / community until late 2016 / early 2017. I only joined the community in July of last year really, but since then I've built great relationships with so many members of the community and created such fond memories throughout my time spent with the Invex community. It's been a great year and a half that I've spent playing your servers, and I've enjoyed every moment of it, and to think of how much the community has grown since its creation in December 2014 is truly incredible, and it's all because of you Byte, you made this and you should be really proud of what you've accomplished over the years.
It's unfortunate that you have to shut down the servers, but I believe its a decision that had to be made. It didn't have to come to this, and really it isn't your fault that the servers are shutting down, so don't blame yourself if you think that (I doubt you do). The amount of pathetic morons that found it cool to say someones full name, or any other personal information of someones, were toxic or annoying, constantly broke rules etc. that affected your time as well as other Staff Members, Head Admins, Admins, and community members was very irritating (for me at least). Time is precious, especially yours, which could be spent developing plugins (which would ultimately benefit the servers), or just hanging out with friends and playing games. You don't have much time on your hands as it is, but when you had to waste that time dealing with some morons on the servers / forums / discord etc. it frankly pissed me off (and I know it must've pissed you off) which I'd say probably contributed to your lack of motivation to do anything for Invex recently (maybe it was time idk just an assumption) . The amount of complaints that you had to deal with (especially over these past couple of months) must have been beyond frustrating. The complaints ranged from server lag (which was out of your control) (streamline), to people constantly asking you to do suggestions / bug reports etc. All of these players just complained and made fun of the fact that there are alot of suggestions / bug reports up now, but they have no idea how long it takes to implement a suggestion or fix a bug, they have no idea about how much you do behind the scenes, nor do they know how busy you are in real life, because these players that complained don't give a shit about you or anyone else, nope because its all about them and what they want, they think they are entitled to everything / anything. I don't know how you did it Byte, how you dealt with these people but you did, kudos, and thank you for dealing with these players so that others didn't have to. It's just unfortunate that these types of players contributed to the downfall of your motivation towards Invex, and ultimately the servers.
Anyway's back to what I wanted to say. Thank's for running the servers for so long Byte, had a lot of great times with you as well as other community members on the servers, and I'm looking forward to playing with everyone during the community events.
