Let's set the scene. You're just started out. You're only 300 or so points. Did you ever have that gold or silver who took you under their wing and nurtured you? I did. He was a great user, who ended up deleting their account. I just wondered if anyone else had that user.
Yeah, a few really awesome people supported me through bronze!
NexusGaming boosted me to silver
CrashFighter05
I'm really sad that vonhubert isn't active anymore. He came back about a year ago I think but he hasn't posted since.
I had a couple. GritAerospaceSolutionsLTD helped me with a lot of stuff, as did vonhubert (he helped me with some stuff that was waaaayyyy out of my realm of understanding - he invented sequenced landing gear before funky trees). Freerider and I had a fun little competition and he helped me make a really fun VTOL plane that could rival his orca - and he made a video which helped to showcase it. I've gotten help from a lot of people along the way, but I wouldn't say there was one specific user who tutored me when I was bronze.
Mustang51, Strikefighter04, niggelas100
Mustang51 and the whole Indonesian SP community
General360. We pushed each other to improve our build styles. Don't know what really happened to him.
People do come and go and its very depressing when you see one of them gone without you even noticing, i have a lot of people that i remember, some of which is a cool builder himself or "her"self left the game or the community, they left for good, some do come back and some were never to be seen again, Shipwright is among the one i remember coming back and stayed for now, his ships were so big and beautiful, i was just leisurly advertising my build in the Port SP Discord when i see someone familiar, the name is so familiar, when he gave me the link to his account my mind is blown because now it comes at a full circle, i know this man, he left the community a while back, i even seen the forum about him leaving, and he said he's coming back because he's bored apparently
If i remember i have 4 that were supporting me, first is bfishing, and second is a friend i found from instagram SimpleBoii, both were not here anymore, but SimpleBoii, despite have left the SP Community, he's still making planes and we still in contact trough WhatsApp, bfishing is not here anymore and he's been quite secretly supporting me trough upvotes and spotlight, the third people however is still here and he has grown even larger than me, none other than SmSmThe10684, the thing is i also have one more but this one, if you are "that" old you must have heard this name: "Jim1The1Squid", the man of thousands forums, he's quite a nice person as well, sadly he's get banned due to spamming and avoiding ban with alt
@DaKraken thats wholesome
not nurture but a few chads supported me, which was nice
@AustralianBoi oh
Nope nope nope nope nope nope because I’m not even silver :/ and I barely upload anything
@AlienbeefyTheCheekiBreeki Well, seeing your impressive creations, I gotta agree that his pushing worked
@ChrisETH xad
@RuvienRuvienTheCitizen yeah, its sorta depressing
@ChrisETH those old comments that they made are the one's to be treasured. those are the remembrance that they'll be there.
If anyone, that would be @EternalDarkness. As far as I remember in my 4 year journey, he was the one who pushed me to keep improving.
@RuvienRuvienTheCitizen yeah. Sometimes I wish it would still display deleted accounts' comments, just to see what they'd have thought. Sometimes you wish they're watching you still.
@ChrisETH yep, i have to agree on the one
@RuvienRuvienTheCitizen yeah, they were the ones who really cared when they were with u on ur lows
@ChrisETH we all know that they were the ones in that five download mark
@RuvienRuvienTheCitizen yeah it hurts. It was more dramatic because I abandoned them, and I found out when I came back. I never got to say my goodbyes they deserved. They'd sticked with me, during my highs where I had a plane break the 500 downloads mark, and my lows, where 5 people would download my planes.
@ChrisETH Okay...
