jeez i said ill take a rest and comecack on anniversary event and this happens @Highwon thanks for all the fun also a nice way to shutdown better than the last time. p.s: can we get to read our notes before the shutdown?
Unfortunate...but, all the fun times will live on in our hearts. Amazing that it lasted this long, but all good things come to an end. My hope is that the successor, After Hours, will be just as fun to be in..
I was so close to reaching a full year on the server. It was fun meeting y'all, if we got along good or bad doesn't matter, we are all part of this amazing community. All good things must come to an end, it has been 8 long years, but fuck were they good. I hope that not all of you leave and that we can still see each other on the other community. @Highwon least thing you could do is talk with us, make a conversation on sb or at least reply to this thread, or are you just going to stay silent until the shutdown?
This is all just a ploy to get us to yolo our points, nice try Highwon, but you're going to have to do a lot better than that. But if it's true, then thank god, that bum never fixed frag storm.
Ive been here since December 2013. SGM was an escape for me, my life was very hard and dark but this place helped me through it. It gave me friends, best friends, and even people that i would describe as family. Even though SGM is going to close it'll always have a place in my heart. @Highwon Thank you for everything. God Bless! ~Savannah
@Highwon I know you are getting a lot of tags on this post, but I want to also say personally thank you so much. Though I joined in March of 2020 when Quarantine was ramping up, this place has become my home away from home. When I wanna get away from the pains and troubles that real life brings I turned to SGM and met so many amazing people. I could go on and on tagging them but then I would probably have a multiple page paper full of names. One amazing thing that you have done is given me a place to meet one of my closest friends @RyanHymenman which is a friendship that held me together during certain parts of quarantine. Overall the community that you built up is one of the best ones with the some of the most caring people on the internet. It is a safe place and I know that I plan to try and keep this ideal alive at AHG. Thank you so much for all you have done -j3kawesome
An interesting thing to think about: I joined SGM on April 2nd, 2014 I was 13 at the time, in my second semester of 8th grade. Today is April 22nd, 2021 I am 20 right now, in my second semester of my 2nd year in college. What has changed in that time? -Overcame anxiety -Gained friends -Gained girlfriend -Partied a little too hard at times (booze and pot boyo) -Graduated Highschool with a 3.8 GPA -Started college, in my second year, I've got a 3.9 GPA (I thought pot was suppose to make me stupid?) So, I'm basically living my best life, but SGM has over time become a background process in my life. Something I come back to when I just want to escape into my computer. I'm not saying that I don't have a special place for this server in my heart, but to say that I am sad now is kind of an overstatement. SGM, for what its worth, is something I don't think I need anymore. I will miss it every now and again, but I think that this transfer is a natural resolution to my TTT arc. You'll see me around no doubt. Still got friends here, will have friends on After Hours Gaming. Additionally, for the record, After Hours Gaming was stolen from a title for one of my modded maps. ez money.
This is probably a broken record to you at this point but thank you @Highwon for keeping this place going for so long, I wouldn't have met any of my friends or my fiancee if it weren't for SGM so you could say this community has had a pretty large impact on me just as it has for a lot of people who've found it...I could rant on and on about exactly what this place has done for me as a person and it's impact but at the end of the day- Thank you for all that you've done, this community will always have it's place in my heart and I will miss it. really really gonna be upset x10 when I lose that Highwon boss event crowbar... I spent so much damn time on the servers that day trying to get both of those crowbars
Why y’all simpin we have 2 months left Edit: In all seriousness, it’s been a good run. I first joined July 7, 2013.. nearly 8 fucking years ago. I’ll be completely transparent with everyone, while I do enjoy this community and all of you people in it, I’m not really as sad as many others. I have made a lot of good friends, especially during the weird ass year that was 2020, but the rest of my memories on these servers have essentially been repressed and shoved down to the pits of my brain since high school fucking sucked and that was when I did most of my time here before last year. i think this transition to a new community will be a good one, there’s a lot that can change that was never going to happen here, and I think any of those changes can be for the better. Glass half full type shit. For those of you joining the new community, see you there for those of you not who will probably stay lurking on these forums, I probably will too highkey
