Our Official resignation

[ʝ17 433]

Dear Straya Gaming,

 

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message but, myself and also speaking for @John Paul are formally announcing our resignation from Straya Gaming. After two and a half years of service with one of the best Australian community's (And still is).

 

To the current/retired staff: I like to think that I earned your respect over the years and wanted you to know you've earned mine. I will remind you all to perform your duties as best you can, but with some parting advice: Do not follow blindly, stand up for yourselves and make sure you express whatever differences you have and stick to your beliefs. Remember, mean what you say and do what you say; HONOR, INTEGRITY, and RESPECT cannot be purchased at ANY price. And if you are to be damned by anyone, be damned for who you are.

To the members: You guys make up this community as a whole. How Straya Gaming proceeds in the future is up to you. Take measure of what you have here currently and do whatever you can to make this a better place. Stand up for yourselves and your fellow members.

 

As for me, I feel that I possess neither the constitution nor the strength to remain here. I think back on the times I've had here, the friends I've made over the last two years, the people I've met, and can't help but to wonder if anything could have been different to prevent me from taking this course of action. I concluded the answer is no. I like to think I've been able to help the people in this community and have helped make the community better as a whole. My hope is Straya Gaming can continue to produce quality, respected members throughout the gaming community. I would like to thank all of the members in Straya Gaming for their continued support.

 

I will no longer wield the power to command. As I leave you all today, I wish to say the honour was to serve, both as a leader and as a member. Take pride in this community; for it is what you make of it.
 

Totally relates a bit of a laugh on the way out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO3OTlBqfWM

I need not say that without you guys StrayaGaming would not have been here without either of you,

The constant development of this server would not have been possible with out you John Paul,

The persistence and sacrifices you made to run this server from the start would not have worked J17.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!

All good things must come to an end I suppose.

Thank you so much both of you for helping me along the way when I have needed it, and for being awesome developers and going through shit and coming out clean on the other side  

You will both be missed, and you'll both have a position back here when ever you feel you would like to return as staff. 

Keep in touch guys

[Mozkelby 379]

You both have contributed hugely to how amazing our community has become, and we truly can't thank you enough.  You may have left management, but hey, you'll always be apart of 'our team'. I look forward to seeing you both around sometime.

Thank you for what you have done! We all appreciate all your hard work!

[Spectral 1342]

 

All the best in whatever you guys decide to get up to next, and we will always remember the good times, J17 you were alwsys one of the most laid

back guys to deal with, showing me and Roger the Dev Stuff, on the Research Server, laying out stuff, showing us the Radar and asking us our opinions,

even when we were new. 

And you always backed us, I always knew you were watching, when we play other SG servers and what we had done in the community you knew.

Lot of respect mate. 

Take care. 

 

[Axle_Tiaky 415]

NO almost 3 years mate. Dam you guys have been amazing to this community sad to see another Founder and High staff member leave. D;

Hope you guys have a great time doing whatever else that you choose to go and do.

And please come back once and a while.

Kind Regards Axle

Well first off I'd like to say I wouldn't be here right now without you J17. Back in early January when you first contacted us, I never though I'd end up in this situation now, and I wouldn't have if it wasn't for you. If I wasn't here who knows where i'd be, but luckily I am here, thanks to you. You have given Garry's Mod a chance and I will swear on my life to make sure it doesn't fail. You were welcoming into the community and a nice person, but it's sad you won't get to see the rise of gmod. Which as already started, but that's a shame. Maybe I'll see you around. But I really wouldn't be here without you. Thank you.

John Paul, We didn't really have that much contact which was a shame. But you do things here and there for me which I'd like to thank you for as well.

[SpiderDeX 36]

It saddens me deeply to see two of the people I have made memories with over the course of the 3 or so years I've played on SG leave. The both of you put so much time and effort into creating, fixing and improving all of the SG servers that I am sure all players, both old and new, will miss you. 

[denis 132]

YOU WILL BE MISSED

[Mitch (csninja) 7]

J17 and John Paul you will be very missed in this community, Me speaking for the whole community here in saying, Thank you for what you've done to make this community and the best of luck where ever your life might take you <3

[Travesty 265]

I haven't been a member for that long gents, but thank you for all your efforts with the community.

I think you should both be proud of what you've built, this is a great community.

All the very best for the future, and thank you again.
