My Retirement

Hello to the community, its Max I am making this post as my last one as an Administrator on the server. I have been with this server for something like 4 years: through Terrascape, MC Zone, and finally, Avicus. Let me tell you, this server has been a major part of my life in total, and its going to be hard to let it go. Its been a pleasure, and I can't wait to watch (from a distance), and see this server grow larger and larger (it'll happen). I am retiring for a good reason (in my opinion), I have not been online enough to be an Administrator on the server, and I have not been being active in the community, or on the server in general. At one point, I could play for 2 hours a day, every day. Now though, school and life are taking a toll on my available time, and I will soon not be even to play. I am not leaving because this server is "boring" or "less good," I am purely leaving for personal reasons, and I most likely will be playing a bit in the near future, and helping out the staff team whenever I can. I would like to point to FTW's reason for retiring. He had a noble reason for quitting, and I completely support it. Life isn't made for living inside on a computer, its about going out, being social, and making friends whenever possible. I respect you if you like the computer, but this is just my view on the subject. For my replacement, I have chosen Jake/Aversively. He has been a staff member for as long as I can remember, and he is the one I believe will most suitably fill my role. He will be a better community Administrator than me, and I have complete faith in him. I don't want to thank people by their names, because I know Id forget a few people, and I don't want to do that. I want to thank the staff, for always helping the community. I would like to thank all of you, the players, for making this server great, and for making this job worthwhile, and I would like to thank Ivy overall; without him, the server wouldn't exist, I wouldn't have made so many friends, and I wouldn't have met any of you. Thank you for all of the great times, this won't be the last time you see me (hopefully), Max Gillette
Good luck in whatever you choose to do with your life Max. You are one of the best staff members I have ever seen and you've helped me through some tough times. You will be greatly missed <3
Bye Gill, thanks for everything that you've contributed to the server! :) I hope to see you around occasionally, and you can snapchat me if you're ever bored xD
Farewell and good luck with your future endeavors. You were an amazing person and help to the server. You were a very good staff member, and I hope everyone appreciates that. Hopefully Jake can do a good job in your stead. Good luck with your life Gill!
Gill, when I heard the news you were planning to retire I couldn't believe it. You have been an inspiration of mine. Your wise decision making just encouraged me to do more as a Moderator.
I will contact you on Skype with more personal goodbye. Thanks for everything!
Words can not even describe how sad I am to see you leave. I've known you for the longest time now Max. You were so nice to me the first time I met you, and you've had a great influence on me. You're a great friend, you were a great administrator, and it will be so tough to see you leave. You are such a genuinely nice person and I don't see that in many people. Good luck in life bro. <3
Gillie, thank you for all the things you've done for this server. You've done a large amount of work for this server, and the community is definitely sad to see you go.
:o Nuuu Gill Wai u do dis ;( Anyways enough crying, good luck with the rest of your life and other goals! And hopefully this community will see The Legend come back once more.
Unfortunately, I didn't really get to know you well. But in the time I've been here at Avicus, I've noticed the amount of respect people give you. You must be a really great guy, it's unfortunate we didn't get to meet each other. Peace, and thanks for everything you've done for Avicus. :)
It's very, very sad to see you leave, Gill. Thank you so much for being a fantastic Administrator. You played a huge role in the growth and success of Avicus. Thank you, and good luck in life.
It's been a long time coming, Gill, and I've never had one day I didn't enjoy working alongside you. Ever since I became Junior Mod up until now, every day's been enjoyable for me. And I thank you, for everything you've devoted to this server. Words can't describe how thrilled I am to know that you entrusted me with this huge responsibility, as well. Thank you, and good luck in life! Just remember, you're a living legend, Max. <3
avicus is awesome, the greats leave, but are replaced with new people that are awesome, then they leave, and the cycle continues. Avicus has generations, and thats whats awesome about it
Goodbye Gill, sad to see you go and I hope you get the life you want and deserve. Thanks for all the hard work you did for the AVN and I also hope to see you again. There goes a legend ;( Bye Gill!
Damn, even though we didn't get to know each other that well, thanks for all the work you've done for the server over the past years. You'll never be forgotten as a part of Avicus. Goodbye <3
avicus is awesome, the greats leave, but are replaced with new people that are awesome, then they leave, and the cycle continues. Avicus has generations, and thats whats awesome about it
Splade4812"Sad to see you go Gill, you've been here for a while and I still remember you from MCZone :P Sad to see you retire my friend.
P.S. For everyone saying Gill's leaving he's not, he's retiring and retiring only."
Bye AviGill, you were an amazing admin and its sad to see you leave. But life is always before a computer game (as you said). Good luck with school and life! <3
Gill, you were such an outstanding member of the community, and I thank you for putting so much effort into Avicus. I'll miss you as a staff member, now go live life to its fullest extent.
<3 Gill... You made my brief active stay on Avicus the best it could be; you helped me and stayed mature during very unique circumstances. I'll never forget my heart-rate during the interview; and I began speaking in my timid little voice.
You're truly a great guy and I wish you luck in life.
P.S. pfffffff, leaving like that? Where's Funky's infraction? ;-)
Gill, thank you for all the time you've spent into this server. Thank you for all the help you've given and all the work you've done. You'll always be remembered and I truly hope you have a bright future. We never talked much but I do appreciate you as everyone else does. Good luck!
AviGill thank you, I mean thank you very much for all the hard work you have put into helping Avicus. We greatly appreciate it and we will miss you very much. I wish you the best of luck in the future IRL and do come back and visit. Thank you AviGill.
no, no, no, noooooo :'( This is heartbreaking... Sorry to hear this man, but i guess stuff happens.. good luck with school and life in general and i hope to see you round sometime, even though you probably don't know who i am, but you know what i mean.. cya man - Fred (OPTOBAT)
Max, you have been great for us, you have done more than we could have asked for, and 4 years! Wow, that's a long time m9, I have my utmost respect for you giving up so much of your time as being Staff.
What can I say? Gill, you are a freaking legend. You're one of the few people I've known since I joined 2 years ago, and every time i have got to work with you it has been an absolute pleasure. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me, for this server and this community, and I wish you all the very best in life. You were amazing. Farewell :)
Gill I remember you as one of the Original McZone staff members when i joined over a year ago. I remember you being the admin alongside Blackhawk. Although we barely see each other because of timezones I have to say that it has been a pleasure working with you and when we were on at the same time we had some very good laughs!! Farewell chap! The original staff from McZone are slowly becoming less and less.... :(
Thank you everyone. You don't know how much I appreciate it. <3
Will you still be on Avicus from time to time?
