Intro~
I’m going to try my best to make this short and sweet. After almost 4 months of struggle for the moderator position, I’m giving it up after only 2 months. The last 2 months(2 weeks of which I was on leave) have been better than anything I could ask for. I've made friends, taken part in projects, and moderated these servers like nobody's business. Before I explain my reasons, I’d like to make one point clear: I want nothing more than the ultimate success of these servers. The reasons for my resignation have nothing to do with MCGamer. The staff team here has been a joy to work with, I truly could not have asked for anything better.
Reasons~
1) The main reason for my resignation is school. While school has not yet begun, I feel that I need to get back into the correct frame of mind in the remaining 3 weeks before it does begin. Normally, I would try to cram all of my internet stuff and school into my life, think that I am succeeding, and then realize that I am not after it’s already too late. This year, school is going to be 5x harder than last year, and I have to be ready. While I am not very close to college, my family is close with a member of the board at a very prominent college; For private reasons, my entire high school career, even the first couple years, is very important towards my later life.
2) When I realized how gravely important my school year would be, I faced myself with the hardest decision I’ve made in a long time. Do I give up youtube, or do I give up MCSG moderator? After 3 weeks of contemplation, I chose the latter. As much as I love the MCSG servers and moderating for them, making youtube videos has always been my true passion. I have more reason now than I have ever had to continue creating content. I recently hit 1,000 subscribers on my channel. Many of my videos get over 300 views, and often up to 70 likes. In all my 5 ½ years of youtube experience, this is the farthest I have gotten with a channel, and I intend to do everything in my power to keep my channel running.

Conclusion~
So yeah. I’ll no longer be a moderator here, but I’ll be on the forums, on TS, in-game, on youtube… You get it, I’ll be around.
Thanks for everything,
