There is this Lithuanian story, Brisiaus galas, about death and sadness that sets in right after it, but also nostalgia that sets it afterwards. I had to read this story in my 3rd year of school and I think it is a perfect metaphor for this server.
As I was finishing up writing my thesis, I asked myself "What should I do now?. I decided, I wanted to revisit my good old days, the games that made my days happy and fun. SAMP and Plan B PTP hit my mind instantly. Hours spent on learning the bunny hop and shit posting on the forums, made me realize what a big part this server played in my life. It shaped my teenage years.
Now why mention the story and SAMP Plan B? Like an old dog, who got shot in the head by his own owner, for being to old, I think this server has reached his peak long time ago and now struggles to lift himself up from the ground. The sadness of no longer seeing you guys and girls on the server has long disappeared and instead nostalgia begins to set in, when I see the old posts and pictures. This all situation makes me remember this one quote -
Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
I hope this server stays in my mind for a long time, because it is more importing to remember them, than to cry over them.
Peace,
