Well, if you're lazy, just don't read the post: the Subject tells everything.
I was thinking about this a while ago:
I like the Aprilion Sandbox server but the sad thing, its because the server itself, NOT the community. Well, its not much time but some of you guys know i played lots and lots of hours on aprilion, especially before the whole "applications on forum" stuff started (it was funny to get adminship without writing an app
, and loosing it because i'm inactive on forums XD)
T'was fun sometimes and everything but there are a few things that just kills my mood and it happens lots of time on aprilion:
-Admin abuse
Dont tell me its a lie, i cant remember how many times i've seen things like "Why did you kick me? / Because you annoyed me, go cry to mummy!" how many times i had to leave because i cant build my own stuff, because an admin unfreezed it, started to mess it up or just couldn't stand the lag because an admin made a laggy stuff, or just spammed a big pile of explosive barrels, to have something to shoot at. And these are just some examples. I wont say names, my goal isn't getting rid of abusive admins, if the community let it happens... its not my problem anymore.
-The "Many admins on, or no admins on" effect. In the 75% of my playtime i didn't see any admin on, but otherwise i've seen 2-3 and... well technically most of em use adminship to build peacefully because they can kick/bann players. And it would be nice BUT something happened lots of time: An admin didn't give a s***t to kick the player who mess with other peoples stuff, as long as they leave the admin's.
- A community that expect you to being an active part of it, but it really don't care about you.
This is the main reason, why im not active on forums. I hate to see that, how many new players don't even join because the community of "good old friends" here treat 'em like a pile of... nothing.
Sooo these are the main reasons why im leaving the Aprilion Sandbox server (i didn't play on the TF server a long time ago because the same reasons).
Yes, my biggest problems was with admins... i know its not easy, because i was admin, but adminship isn't about "power" its about responsibility, and i think most of admins don't know this here.
Ive found some friends here, thats true, but only a few and... ive just got enough.
I dont want to make it a big thing, i really just wanted to say Goodbye.
I played 99% of my gmod time in Aprilion so now i hope i will find another sandbox server i can play on for a long time and my problems wouldn't exist there. If i do, of course i WONT advertise it here, nor will i say bad things about aprilion.
Anyway... it was fun sometimes, it's enough!
Goodbye Aprilion ^^
