Hey everyone!
It's Raidon here. It's been a long ride, but I think it ends here. The reason I'm leaving is for several reasons:
1. The community has changed. Few of the Moderators and staff members I knew haven't resigned or quit the community. Most of the players I once knew have left and moved on and I think I should do the same.
2. Hostility. There are several people in this community who go out of their way to criticize the staff members and the build team I am part of.
3. And a few minor things.
I've split this thread up into a few sections.
My Story
I started off in this community as a common newbie. I watched several AntVenom/CaptainSparklez YouTube videos in which they competed in a minigame called the "Survival Games." I was fascinated by the intensity of the games, which led me to pursue a server to participate in these games. I came across the MCSG community and chose to start out there. I looked at the server information and found the IP's. I connected to a lobby (no hub back then!) and played my very first game. I don't remember much about my first game, but I think it was played just after SG2 had been released (we played on that map).
After playing for a few days, I became addicted, I made myself a route on my all-time favourite map (SG1) and continued playing. Several months later, I got a new computer and created a new account. I sold my old Dell running on Windows 2000, which in the process deleted my server list, resulting in my leave from MCSG.
(2 Years on)
On a regular Skype chat with one of my friends, he told me about a server he played on called "MCGamer," I joined with him and noticed nothing familiar until I played a game, instantly giving me a feeling of nostalgia. I grew back into the community, I joined the forums and continued playing to the present day.

Moderators - Give these guys a thanks, this community would be non-existent without you all.
Favorlock, Bowl O' Soup, SomeMugger, ZombieTracker, Le0, antster, Gibbo, KR - Nostalgia again.
