Everyones like "I would go back to 2012"... No way on earth I would go back to 2012. If any of you guys had ever experienced 2012 mcsg, you would agree. It wasn't just "oh the server used to be perfect and is growing", there were a lot of bugs. You couldn't hit someone from 2 blocks away!
I wouldn't go back to mcsg 2013, although it was a fun time, there was still a lot of lag + the fist glitch... and we all remember the fist glitch.
I personally would go back to 2014 summer. It was a great time were the server had near to no bugs, and had been at its peak. All these great youtubers made great content. Every youtuber used to play MCSG, you could search "(youtuber name) mcsg", and that youtuber would come up with an mcsg upload! It was honestly a great time for the server.
Although the players have been dropping, I still love the server, and people need to realize its not "dead". Sure, it's not getting 10k players at a time, but it usually gets 750-1.5k which is still pretty awesome for a minecraft server. All I'm saying is; enjoy it while it last, because you have seen what can happen!
