I'm new here, so I don't know much about how much work you did. But you were polite in the span of time I had talked to you, and you were the nicest grille who has ever conversed with me over the internets. Despite my lack of knowledge concerning you, and the fact I'm a dirty shit-posting scumbag, I really am sad to see you go.

If you ever decide that you want to come back to say "Hi", well, I guess we'll (definitely me) will be waiting. Sorry for those guys who can't control their opinions and made it hard on you, but I'm one of those people who respect you deeply. So...I'm tryin' to say...

Thanks for the work, Abby. Absynth...[insertyournamehere]

Danm Abby. It really is a sad to see you go. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we all truly appreciate all the time and effort you have put into this server. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Be sure to have a good one mate.

Give us ... fuck I forgot her name Abby, and you can have this guy. We need the good guys, not this kind of dump-truck salt-digging trash.

While the phrasing is a bit rude, I approve of the sentiment. You my friend, I like you.

Barely know in real life yes, but we all appreciate the work she has put in. She was dedicated to the server and maybe around as long as Apophis, so she DESERVES our respect.

Fucking...

This is what I'm talking about. It happens every goddamn time, on every fucking server. Stick-up-ass player makes a huge deal, important person leaves because people are complaining that the fun they are being provided FOR FREE out of the blood, sweat, and tears of the staff is like, slightly less good than it was yesterday, server is RUDDERLESS. No new updates, at least not for a long while, and even then they probably won't be as consistent.

I thoroughly enjoy this server and would hate to see something like this happen to it. Everyone that feels it's their personal calling to cause controversy over the staff can fuck right off.

My post was too profane and was deleted, but this is the essential message I tried to get across.

Remember people, these developers, staff, this server only EXISTS because of them, it only gets UPDATED with new shit because of them. It is a privilege, not a right, for CM to exist. We are partaking in this game, for FREE. I'm afraid that one day, the playerbase stirs up so much shit that the staff team finally snaps, and CM will cease to exist. Abby getting fed up could be the first of many, and it's a major blow to the development team itself.

So please, let's just stop the salt.

And to the guy who said "can resin cuffs go with her?", and I think this is well deserved,

Kindly fuck off.

You have no idea how many times I've been very close to "fuck it" and just turning the remote off.

...
The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Well apparently you are stronger than that. :cool:

I don't have anything good to say about this, but I will say that a new coder will come when the time is right. As you can all see, the updates aren't stopping. A torch has been dropped but picked right back up. No matter how many people decide to give up, those that wish to persevere will keep us going and more will come to fill the void. Hell, I may start getting into coding for SS13 and jump in the fray.
