Apparently, someone has reported a joke I made on SPBC about the current situation in Afghanistan, which Andrew took as enough to remove my moderator role. I no longer have any mod powers, and the red banner will be removed soon too.
It has been a pleasure serving this community for so many years. I have made many friends, and I intend to keep them. I will not be abandoning the game and the community. I'm waiting for the update to finish some awesome builds.
Unfortunately, you can no longer ping me to fix your successor links. That duty now goes to Vincent, Dorian, and whoever gets selected to replace me. I will also no longer be settling disputes, hunting down underaged users, removing copy builds, or performing any other moderator duties.
Yours sincerely,
EternalDarkness
Edit: I was informed that it's actually about a statement I made on the counterproductive influence of BLM on the general view of the African Americans, where I forgot to translate every word to newspeak, on a private server I'm in.
Thank you all for support. I wasn't expecting so many of you will be there. I can't possibly hope to reply to each of your comments individually, but I appreciate them all.
@EternalDarkness Understandable.
Character development 🪨👍🏽
@Graingy I have indeed. I was young and didn't know how big of a deal such things are in the American culture. Here in Serbia, back then, casual racism was very common and not really seen as a particularly bad thing. I have since made friends from all parts of the world and I have learned more about their cultures. It's quite difficult to be racist when you know the folk you are being racist against.
@TheMouse Mouse, they used a slur repeatedly.
Even if someone can change, that's still a major fuckup.
@Roswell this community has eaten a decade of my life, and I intend to let it have a few more. I'm pretty much stagnating until SP2 drops, though I have a few concepts that I might play with until then. I've had a couple of builds over the last few years, but I don't think I'll be publishing anything interesting to the site soon.
You can join my Discord server, PortSP, through a link in my bio if you want to get in touch. It's a nice little SP community off the site, and I always love seeing the old guard return.
PS: I still refresh the site at least a dozen times a day, scouting for talented newbs, giving a lesson or landing a hand here and there... And I run a big Discord SP community server. So, I'm still as active in the community as ever, I just don't build as much XD
@EternalDarkness yeah still here I've honestly moved away from sp for a long while and decided to come back for sp2 and just catching up with notifications reading back old comments and updating/deleting old links and I saw this comment years ago decided to express my feelings on this once again even though it's highly chance you wouldn't have respond.
I'm glad see you are stil around too.
@Roswell thanks. I'm glad you're still around. It took me a bit to find what your original opinion was. There's over three hundred and fifty comments down there XD
My opinion still hasn't changed.
@EternalDarkness dang that sux, he was really good.
@PlaneFun1 he deleted his account. Didn't even say goodbye.
@EternalDarkness no I do not actually, sad times. As you know games are an outlet, I’m still kicking. I’m over on Juno as spacecoastcorp. I just redownloaded SP for the first time years, saw they changed the airports a bit. Looking forward to the new game, if it’s anything like Juno this community is in for a real treat to say the least. Whatever happened to bogandX I this his username was?
@EternalDarkness fair enough.
@PlaneFun1 did you save any stuff from your old account? It might be nice to post a few if you still have them.
@YarisSedan it's fine. We were younger back then. Kids do dumb stuff. I did my share of stirring trouble too, back in a day.
@PlaneFun1 SimplePlanes 2 should be coming out this year. I think that might be worth coming back for. I'm glad to see you're still alive and taking some time for your hobbies.
hello @EternalDarkness, this is me from the future, looking back i cringed at my past self for doing what i did, i'm sorry for what i did
It’s been many years since we have talked, you made it to the top. Glad to see your happy and doing well still. Just don’t look at the 1 in my name lol. I’m now busy with real life work, management, family, etc. I came back for sr2, but more or less just for the account and to talk with old friends that are still around. Might have to relook at coming back to discord idk. My job is pretty hectic
@Strikefighter04 True bro.
@MarkMCraft I used to receive death threats. Not really hard, I'm good with people, but it could be really annoying at times.
@MarkMCraft no worries. Anyway, running a small server with a couple of friends helping moderate it, with mostly friends in it, is much better than running this community.
@MarkMCraft you're asking me what was the joke I made three years ago? What did you have for breakfast on this day three years ago? (:
@MarkMCraft I thought so myself at first. Now, I'm happy running my little Discord server with my friends and not having to deal with all the stuff that comes with being a moderator.
@EternalDarkness
Well thats good.
@Mousewithamachinegun122 eh, it's just kids. You can't expect kids to be rational. I'm on pretty good terms now, years later, with the very worst of them.
Although I never experienced you as a mod, from the comments below I can see you were probably one of the best. But those arguments you are having to deal with. Ridiculous. Every day I am amazed by how illogical people can be.
