    Hello everyone,

    It's me Tom,

    First off I want to say thanks for everything. Also everyone who gave me the courage to run the server for many years, from my 14 year old mind wanting to learn how to make a server, for the fun of exploring minecraft and the internet. I have spoke to hundreds of people around the world, probably replied to over one hundred thousand messages from people getting bullied in real life or online and supporting them though the struggles, From the little question which I get every time I hop on. But Recently the last (6 months) the server has become more of a job than fun, which isn't why I started it the server. Recently it has just become stressful and overwhelming more than anything even with the endless support which I have been given by the current players and staff members Also it wasn't looking good with the EULA changes. I have changed more than a hundred thousand people's life's from a little giggle or little smile to stop killing themselves. Within this time I have learn't too much about myself it really has been a journey which I didn't expect at day one.

    The server has completed destroyed my social life (don't worry about it), the last 2 weeks I have saw if I could get it back, but guess what! I couldn't, people move on ha ha. Instead of a social life, I used get excited staying helping people on the server instead of going out and been "normal" the server has shown me a lot of who I am and how successful something so small with a big desire can be (we used to hit 180 players online everyday). The server helped me overcome depression (had suicidal thoughts daily and much worse) and become the person I am today, which is no longer a depressed person who couldn't smile to anyone. So with my full heart I truly am thankful to everyone who has supported me and the server it is highly appreciated. Also I am sorry for letting many people that it has to come to an end.

    Anyways Why you leaving?
    This was a daunting decision which I need to make, to fix up my real life sad to say. I will no longer be maintaining the server, I was planning to come back to the server but it would of been in probably a month or so, the other day our website server decided to corrupt it's self (all the files was corrupted) , I have no idea why but anyways it happened, on that server we had, all of the website files/backups and teamspeak server files are all gone.

    It's time say farewell:
    So I am calling it a day, Also with me having some computer problems at the moment from some #britishteaproblems #spillonkeyboard #blowup I have. I am upset to say, all good things must come to an end. The server will be up until December 24th (prepaid). Now their's a 65% sale on if you want when the sale ends the donation store will close (3rd July). For now I will be leaving the server I might come back one day, when I feel I can manage the server.

    One last say:
    The one I have learn't on this journey, if you believe in your heart and are determined to make something happen it will. If you believe in something, you can make it happen. Also ignore what others think and do your OWN thing!

    Sad to see such an awesome server end, because it reminded me of the server that shutdown before that I played on for such a long time. Hopefully you or someone else decides that they will take over the server because I don't want to see it die completely and maybe there will be a time when it will come back. Thanks for running a great server and hopefully I'll see u around soon tom.
    Best wishes,
    -Ace

    I have made Tom an offer, because I don't want to see this server die.

    He is deciding if he want's to accept it or not.

    Tom it's a shame to see beast go. I joined on my birthday and it was the 1st server I ever played on. I rlly hope u accept Phil's offer man. Best wishes!

    Tom please handover the server to Phil. I know hed take great care of it and let you back when ready. Its better than letting it go completely to waste. Also better phil than ANY other stafg or ex staff. Before i even saw his comment my first thought was phil needs to take the server. Please Tom doit for the players and doit for yourself so when youre ready im sure theres a spot for you
  11. Phil
    Thankyou for the vote of confidence guys and the comments.

    Exotic is right, there would always be a spot here for you if you ever chose to come back. You have worked so hard to build this server, as you can see we all don't want it to disappear.
  12. Reiterate
    Please Tom accept his offer!
  13. Exotic
    You and Phil did this as a team for the longest time. Yeah he had to step back cause of how you chose to run it but hes always been around when needed. And hes here now. Id rather sell it for a lower offer to someone who knows what theyre doing rather than sell it for the higher offer and watch the server go a complete loss. Personally i wouldhave just handed it over to phil since hes more than just a player or admin he IS the server just like you tom

    I know that this isn't my decision to make...
    But please Tom.. wouldn't you rather see your server thrive than die? I beg of you Tom...
  17. Waterfall
    I know it isn't easy to leave such a server behind. But like Exotic says..
    It'll be a lot easier on you if you leave the server to Phil. Save yourself grief from closing the server: let Phil take over. And if you have any issues with knowing if Phil will be a good owner, just look at his server.
  18. Sugar
    Tom sir,
    To me, this is the saddest thing that could happen to Beast. From nothing, you created something. Something huge and wonderful.

    You and Phil used to both be owners. If I were you, I would just give the server to Phil, I'm sure he will make great decisions.

    Also, why remove staff? The server will become extremely chaotic. Then, there will be no hope for Beast Factions.

    Back when I was a helper, and the only staff online at the time, a new guy joined. The server was having an argument. The new guy messaged me saying, "why is everyone so mean?" That made me feel terrible. Good people, fighting with each other, making bad impressions of the server. The new guy left and never returned.
    So Tom, if i were you, keep staff, give server to Phil. Not sell, give.

    Everyone wants to help you.

    Best of luck and be smart,
    -Colo

    Tom, giving beast to phil would be a great idea because both you and I know that phil was a great co owner (this will make him a good owner). You made the server thrive until the sad events at end of 6.0. If that idiot hadn't have exploited the system in 6.0 we'd probs still be thriving. But the rushed 7.0 reset and the money hack made beast wane in popularity. We really need an owner like phil if you're quitting tom, you are both good server owners and thats been proven. Best wishes for the future buddy!
