It was fun, goodbye everyone!

[Chormee 2,973 / 29,227]

Good Evening everyone in GFL. This will be my final resignation letter for a long time, for I do not think I will be a part of any team on GFL for a while.

 

(Note this is for all positions)

 

In the recent months, I have felt further and further apart from the community of GFL, as well as further and further wanted here. It’s unfortunate to think about, but let’s be fair here, I’ve been a weird person in my 3 years here. I’ve had my ups and I’ve had my downs.

 

GFL has been an emotional roller coaster ride of various friends and enemies. Most of which I would love to kindle a friendship with as long as they would want to do the same. Many of you here have made my past few years better than I could imagine. My first year here I felt accepted and part of a community, and it helped a lot with getting through a really tough time in my life. My family at that time hit a really rough spot financially and we lived in a really ghetto city, and I was stuck in a closet of a room for a year, visiting my grandmother from time to time, which was my outlet and ability to go onto Purge, when that was around. Purge was the first server I was on in GMod, and it really felt like a utopia of a community. Being able to talk to people, do things i wanted to do, and just be myself. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, but the ability to be able to remember those moments have been a wondrous time of my life.

 

These recent years, however, I’ve felt more and more disconnected to GFL and it’s community, with all the changes, staff development changes, servers, and so forth. It’s been a weird time recently. Something I once grown up with and loved seems to now, unfortunately, a bunch of teens trying to piece together a once-great place for people to get to know each other and play games together. It just doesn’t feel the same.

 

I’ll be residing to becoming a part-time twitch streamer and that’s mainly what I will be focusing on online until either A) College and Work become too much and that’s all i have time for, or B) Twitch kicks off and I can focus on that full time.

 

With that being said, I just will not have enough time in the day to focus on GFL’s issues and drama as much as I used to. Meeting so many of you was a wondrous journey and I really can’t thank you guys enough for the years of fun I had and the people I’ve met along the way.

 

I’ll pop by from time to time, mainly in the hundreds of discords I am in that have GFL in the name.

 

Since I’m not going to leave empty handed, here’s a list of things I would recommend GFL’s staff to check in on.

 

- Instead of leaving Managers and Division Leaders to their own devices, have everyone contribute to a goal in a division and have the staff go to higher ups for opinions and reassurance. This will allow for less failure in things (like purge)

- Read up on my donation suggestions. Those tricks are key to a better business model in finance.

- Allow community members to have a say in who gets to be staff and who doesn’t. Just because you don’t want them to be staff, doesn’t mean they won’t be a good staff member. This is a non-profit community. They are supposed to be transparent with it’s members.

- Allow community members to read up on roadmaps on what you plan on doing and have it more available to them rather than on a trello that 5 people know about. Not just on big things, but some people would love to see the little things being fixed, too.

- Either treat GFL’s staff ladder like an actual business, or leave it to anarchy. Division Leaders should have a final say in Managers’ changes, Council should have a final say in DIvision Leaders’ changes, and so on. Again, leaving people to their own ideals might conflict with another staff’s ideals, and guess what that leads to? I think you can figure it out.

- Don't allow little things to slip through the cracks.

- If something isn't working right, fix it entirely instead of putting a band-aid on it. That doesn't work and it's proven not to work time and time again.

 

@Roy, if you ever need financial advice, please talk to me. I say it all the time, I know, but I’ve taken various classes on that stuff. Read my about me for more info. Same thing to @Unknown

 

If you'd like to see me more often, or want to check up from time to time, I'll probably be streaming on twitch @ https://www.twitch.tv/charmayy or you can find me on discord.

 

Thank you all for the wonderous ride GFL has given me, and thank you all for the amazing experience that I had.

 

Twig

Charmmy, you’ve been such a huge help to the Media team. Even though we had our ups and downs you’ve always pulled through. I’m going to miss you dearly as my second in command, and a friend here too. I wish you all the best ❤️?

 

 

Ps; add me on steam :^)

[VilhjalmrF 2,099 / 30,689]

Cya buddy! We love ya!

[shelby 23 / 1,749]

alright time for a serious reply

 

Charm, I don't really have much to say about you except for the fact that im your #1 mod on twitch mod on twitch and for now "community manager". Though, I still have those little memories from the past which come back to me every now and then. For example, I remember one day I came on to the HnS server and started playing. The name "Twig" showed up in the voice chat. At that time I was stupid and ignorant, but ive always remembered that moment for some reason. Who knew I would end up here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (im also still stupid and ignorant so no worries ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ). When I first met you on discord, I had a blast. Thank you for a day/night I will always remember. I look forward to being there on your streams on twitch buddy (づ￣ ³￣)づ

 

totally not about to cry right now

This.  

 

Anyway, it's sad to see you go, but it was nice to have you as a friend. If you ever just want to chat or want/need to talk about anything, feel free to send me a message.

Good luck in your future, I hope things turn out well for you, Mason.

Good Evening everyone

It's morning! (triggered) 

 

Miss the times we had together when we were on Purge or on Hide and Seek as admins were we would always fuck around.  Now days, it's hardly ever those times sadly. Even though we don't talk as much as before, you're still a good friend to me. 

 

       Remember, I DON'T hate you, I'll give you more things if I have to, to get you off the mind that I do. 

      Also, you should give me that rainbow rep.

Things change, but we have to do what is viewed as better; which leads me too what Charmayy says about the community

Out of what was suggested, by far these are the two i most agree with; as i've said before in a few other posts. We are a community, which means we need to start listening to the players which we rely on. If a community votes for someone they think should be there, and only one person disagrees higher up, don't you think that's wrong?
I have also commented on the "transparency issues" that GFL has in relation to it's members from higher ups, public updates are few and far between; but changes to critical features and the core of GFL are often never brought to attention.

Anyway, now is time for a "Goodbye comment" - 
I still remember the first time i met you on Hide and Seek, and it was a blast! You were one of the funniest people i'd seen represented in my somewhat limited view of GFL at the time, and i'll probably never forget that either. VCing with you later on was hilarious, all you did was take the piss out of everyone, and i laughed harder than i'd ever normally do!
I still remember the time you gave me a million "totally" legitimate points on HnS, and i must say you're a really cool guy. Thanks for the short, limited memories; but i'm sure I'll still remember you for years.

[im not inactive you are 888 / 16,340]

First of all, sorry to hear about this whole shitty rollercoaster of emotions and stuff, it was nice to meet you too.

There are a couple of things I need you to do for me/the community though:

1. When Twitch DOES kick off, mention us that we were the community you were a part of make us famous boi.

2. Remind me on Discord monthly about subscribing because I don't use Twitch.

3. Keep checking up on our shitposting (and maybe join in some time)

[Auralanity 1,097 / 19,948]

Have the best luck in life, my friend.

[Winter 1,707 / 25,782]

<3 bye
