Hello guys.
So, as you have gathered by the title, I'm leaving. Hopefully this thread will explain the reasoning behind my decision while, hopefully, ending on a positive note.
What is the main reason I'm leaving, you may wonder? Well, my mentality isn't how it used to be - I used to be really spirited and loved making updates for the community. I said to myself that I would continue making updates after my coursework was done by the end of May. However, every time I came to writing code, I'd always stop and think, "Why am I doing this? I could be using this time elsewhere." It was that kind of mental barrier that has been stopping me from developing recently - the fact that I could be doing something bigger. I am not intending to demotivate anyone by reading this as everyone has different perspectives, but that's just how I felt.
In addition to that, recently, I feel like I've let down the community in a way: I've been inactive and I've messed around on the servers more than I should have. I've been playing with those burdens for some time and it has constantly made me contemplate why I'm still keeping the rank. Those are the short-term thoughts that have been floating around my head for a while, thus sparking this decision. With all of this in my head, I haven't felt comfortable about keeping my position as developer; it feels wrong to keep the rank at this point.
Finally, as I feel like I've spread a lot of negativity through this post, let's end on that positive note I promised. I thank everyone that has given me the opportunity to go from being permanently banned to becoming a developer. It is hard to leave because I do love the community and will miss working in the team alongside other devs and staff. You are all what I'm going to miss the most, the server wouldn't be the same without the community. Anyway, despite all of this, you may still see me around on the server occasionally to check up on it, so don't think that you'll never see me again. I'm still here.
Thank you for one final time,
James.
